      So I have one pfSense box, which runs an DHCP6 server. My iPad these days gets a IPv6 address from that server just fine.

      Now I'm in the process of setting up a second pfSense box, and it's "WAN" interface (which is on my LAN at the moment) is given a fixed IPv4 address (because it will be having a (different) fixed IPv4 address eventually, but it also is supposed to get an IPv6 address through DHCP.

      But it doesn't acquire one, and instead it always ends up with an fe80: prefix address.

      Anyone tried successfully to have one pfSense box be a DHCP6 client of another pfSense box that is a DHCP6 server?

        This still isn't working. This is what my syslog has to say, after I re-save the WAN interface setting to acquire the IPv6 address through DHCP:

        Obviously, the 123.45.67.89 address is just a placeholder here, for the real thing.
