      I deleted the ipv6 rules and some of the ipv6 addresses went away. But as seen in pic, why is this device still getting an ipv6 address, even if it is a local one since pfsense did not lease one out?

      Thanks,

        @disgrun that is link local, as I mentioned pretty much any modern OS or device that supports IPv6 will always have those..

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address

        Almost impossible to make those go away on some OSes or Devices, even if you on purpose disable its ipv6 support
