      I've been trying to get v6 connectivity setup on my 2.1-rc0 box with limited success. I finally managed to bring the interface up but for some reason I still don't pass the tests at http://test-ipv6.com. I've also found that if I SSH into my box I don't get any echo replies using ping6 (I've tried ipv6.google.com and my "IPv6 Server Address", 2001:470:XXXX:XXXX::1 at HE).

      My LAN clients are also not receiving leases form DHCPv6 but I'll worry about that after I get the tunnel up and running properly.

      Here's my interface information:

      
*** Welcome to pfSense 2.1-RC0-pfSense (amd64) on sigmund ***

 CENTURYLINK (wan) -> pppoe0     -> v4/PPPoE: 75.XXX.XXX.XXX/32
 LAN (lan)       -> ue0        -> v4: 192.168.1.1/24
                                          v6: 2001:470:XXXX:XXXX::1/64
 V6 (opt1)       -> bge0       -> v6: 2001:XXXX:XXXX:fc::2/64

      If it matters, I have the latest pfSense 2.1-rc0 installed to the hard drive of an amd64 Dell desktop.

      If you need more information, logs or config info just let me know.

      Thanks for the help.

        Here's some log data. It's from just after a reboot (for some reason my webui quit responding, "Restart webConfigurator" didn't even help)

          Hi Adam,
          First of all review these instructions: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Using_IPv6_on_2.1_with_a_Tunnel_Broker
          These were quite useful for my installation and following them made my tunnel operational.
          Also I see you are using the bge0 interface. This does look like a link aggregation interface. HE does use a GIF (Generic Tunnel Interface) tunnel. So for the V6 I would expect gif0 instead of bge0.
          I hope this helps.
          Best regards
          Pendi

            +1 on that, need a tunnel iface for that with WAN as parent, not ethernet. The howto should get you started pretty quickly.
