      Hello,

      I am new to ipv6, when I checked my status page I saw that my WAN interface had an ipv6 address. This led me to think about enabling it behind the router.

      I however cannot seem to get it to work on the router itself.

      
      ifconfig -a
      bge0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500	
      	inet6 fe80::215:c5ff:xxxx:xxxx%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
      	inet6 2605:6000:6681:403:215:c5ff:xxxx:xxxx prefixlen 64 autoconf 
      	inet6 2605:6000:6681:402:215:c5ff:xxxx:xxxx prefixlen 64 autoconf 
      	inet6 2605:6000:6681:401:215:c5ff:xxxx:xxxx prefixlen 64 autoconf 
      	nd6 options=3 <performnud,accept_rtadv></performnud,accept_rtadv></up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast> 
      
      
      [2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense]/root(50): dig +short ipv6.google.com aaaa
      ipv6.l.google.com.
      2607:f8b0:4000:809::1010
      [2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense]/root(51): ping6 ipv6.l.google.com
      PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2605:6000:6681:403:215:c5ff:xxxx:xxxx --> 2607:f8b0:4000:809::1010
      ^C
      --- ipv6.l.google.com ping6 statistics ---
      9 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
      
      

      I tried to make sure it wasn't a routing issue

      
      Internet6:
      Destination                       Gateway                       Flags      Netif Expire
      default                           fe80::213:5fff:xxxx:xxxx%bge0 UGS        bge0
      
      [2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense]/root(69): route add -inet6 2607:f8b0:4000:809::1013 -interface bge0 
      add host 2607:f8b0:4000:809::1013: gateway bge0
      [2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense]/root(70): ping6 2607:f8b0:4000:809::1013
      PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2605:6000:6681:401:215:c5ff:xxxx:xxxx --> 2607:f8b0:4000:809::1013
      ^C
      --- 2607:f8b0:4000:809::1013 ping6 statistics ---
      8 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
      
      

      When I ping my monitor I can see a response:

      
      ping6 fe80::213:5fff:fe06:3ed9
      PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::215:c5ff:xxxx:xxxx%bge0 --> fe80::213:5fff:fe06:3ed9
      16 bytes from fe80::213:5fff:fe06:3ed9%bge0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=6.869 ms
      16 bytes from fe80::213:5fff:fe06:3ed9%bge0, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=6.021 ms
      
      

      Any ideas?
