        And what IPv6 did you put?

        Did you get a tunnel from say hurricane electric?

            Why would you want ipv6 internally that doesn't go anywhere.

            What addresses space are you using?

            Are you using something like this?

              I am Just learning to use IPv6 with pfSense .
              I used some random IPv6 Adress earlier.

              Now , I used
              fd73:8d:b4ef:521b::1/64 as static ipv6 in LAN

              and DHCP6 server range
              fd73:008d:b4ef:521b:0:0:0:0 - fd73:008d:b4ef:521b:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

              So, Can you guide me how to use that ..

                …

                I can advise you to take a look at this:
                @johnpoz:

                Did you get a tunnel from say hurricane electric?

                When you go over here http://he.net/ , you can:
                Learn all about IPv6
                Get a free IPv6 certification !
                Get a free (I received it ::) really nice extremly geek unique t-shirt
                Get a free IPv6 /48 on the Internet - pfSense routes to it just fine using this https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Using_IPv6_with_a_Tunnel_Broker

                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  well are you devices getting ipv6 address via dhcp?

                  Or just set a static on them say

                  fd73:008d:b4ef:521b::2

                  If you set your pfsense to ::1

                  But really if you want to start learning about ipv6, I would just setup a tunnel..  As suggested go thru their certification - get sage ;)  And you get a t-shirt.  I love sporting mine at tech events ;)
