      Hi all,

      I followed the Netgate Recipe document to bypass my BGW210 modem. I'm receiving an IPv4 address on WAN without issue.

      IPv6 is another story. I see under the INTERFACES widget I am getting both an IPv4 and IPv6 address.
      But, under the GATEWAYS widget, I am only getting an IPv4 Gateway not an IPv6 one.
      Interfaces & Gateways

      I am not sure what I have done incorrectly. I followed the recipe to the "T" and also setup IPv6 DUID.
      DUID

      I have also setup my WAN per the recipe to request a /60 delegate size.

      I cannot for the life of me figure out what the issue is keeping me from getting my IPv6 Gateway up and my LAN IPv6 delegation up.

        Do you not get any address at all? Or just a link local address? If the latter, it might be normal, as some ISPs do that.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          @JKnott Yes. My IPv6 Gateway address is a link-local address. Never knew ISPs did this. Thanks!

              Yes it's common to get a delegation only on the WAN directly. So you can use that on internal interfaces but the WAN only ever as a link local address to route it across.
