    Why do you have a different mask on your wan IP then your gateway mask of /48?  The mask of your interface that talks to the gateway should match the mask on the gateway.  You have /126, but in your pic you list /64 on your pfsense wan ipv6 IP?

      The router I have no access my isp routed me prefixed with the mask / 48

      I proble to change the mask of wan to pfsense a / 126 to be more restrictive but does not work

      apart, then I have a default route pointing to the ISP router

          When communicating with outside, you should adhere to /64 IP mask per interface, else things break.

            I changed the mask wan pfsense a / 64 and the problem persists, there is no response from the ISP router.

            The strange thing is that from any pc I answered the wan ip of pfsense, and from the wan interface of the router responds pfsense me.

            But since the pcs isp router interface is unresponsive.

            thx

              Assure your connection with a reboot of ISP-router and the pfSense-box in cascading sequence.

                I 've tried several times even simulations with another pfsense a PC emulating the ISP router and the same result

                  Hmmm, tell us how do you issue IP to PC's ?
                  i.e. Static, DHCP6-server and/or SLAAC ? How is your radvd settings ?

                    in test environment emulating the isp router with routing pc changing the mask / 48 to /64 and creating a static route routing prefix / 48 to the wan ip of pfsense
                    working properly

                    It is normal to have to do this? should not route all traffic to the mask / 48?

                    Thx

                        You get an /48 space supply. Of this /48 you can chop something like say /56 up into subnets of /64 (these are 255 LAN's or NIC's)

                        Reliable communication goes with /64.

                        So you can do a Static like 2A02:babe:face:1::1/64 for LAN-1
                        And you can do a Static like 2A02:babe:face:2::1/64 for LAN-2

                        Suppose you connect a switch to LAN-1.
                        Then you can attach a PC on that switch (to LAN-1) give it a Static, say 2A02:babe:face:1::beef

                        And you need RA to set on Router Only if you do Static, else no routing…
