      Please help with some default firewall rules to allow IPv6 traffic to work.
      i have added rules to allow IPv6 traffic on TCP / UDP port 53, 80, 443, ICMP/6 and the logs still showing default ipv6 rule blocking the traffic. Anyone point me in the right direction, please?

      i have setup the IPv6 /56 range from my ISP to the interface as follows
      WAN_Interface
      IPv6 Configuration Type - DHCP6

      Send IPv6 prefix hint - Checked

        @snigy is it actually blocked and not https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/log-filter-blocked.html ?

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
