      My ISP is centurylink. I really would like to have a working IPV6 setup.
      I am running 2 pfsense boxes in a CARP setup. Both boxes are running 2.2 RC.
      Only one box is setup to do 6RD.
      Wan setting are the following:

      • 6RD prefix                      2602::/24
      • 6RD Border Relay         205.171.2.64
      • 6RD IPv4 Prefix length 0
        Lan is set to track wan.

      This IPV6 setup worked for a while, around November 20 when changes were made to 2.2 to fix 6rd. Now It does not work anymore. Since then I went through several pfsense upgrades and fresh reinstalls. I lost the ability to do 6rd around Nov 26. In the interim my dynamic IPv4 has changed as well. These are the 2 things that have changed in my setup since the time I had a working 6RD.

      In the logs I see the following errors:

      Dec 13 07:22:20	check_reload_status: rc.newwanip starting sk0
      Dec 13 07:22:20	php-fpm[77709]: /interfaces.php: The command '/sbin/ifconfig wan_stf inet6 4733:fb40::/' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument'

      Dec 13 07:22:21	php-fpm[77709]: /interfaces.php: The command '/sbin/route change -inet6 default '2602:cdab:240::'' returned exit code '1', the output was 'route: writing to routing socket: No such process route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable change net default: gateway 2602:cdab:240:: fib 0: Network is unreachable'
      

      I have a LAN pf rule to pass all IPV6 traffic. This was added automatically by 6RD configuration. I do not see additional pf rules on WAN

      Am I the only one having trouble using 6RD on century link? If I am the only one, what am I doing wrong? Or is it a pfsense problem?
      I have been battling this for the past several weeks without success.
      Any help by anyone more knowledgeable on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks
