Can post it here?  smile.gif  smile.gif  smile.gif

I just got back and took another look at my mtu. WAN MTU is 1492 but advmss is set to 1432. This is the MTU on my default route. advmss is the MTU advertise to the remote side when you connect to them, youtube, lowyat, etc..

I see 2 different advmss MTU's on my end:

1440 = LAN /64
1432 = redundant 2000::/3 [RFC4291]
1432 = default route

You could try using these MTU's and see if it makes any difference.

This is where I'm having problem ...
WAN can get both v4 & v6 once connect, but the LAN seem need to wait around 5~20mins (similar to those ASUS routers).  If lucky, may be the LAN interface can get v6 after 5~15mins of waiting, then no problem to test/visit on those v6 sites.  But later, say 1/2 hour or few hours later wake up next day, my PC can't test/visit v6 sites  rclxub.gif
It's like now you have it then you don't  sweat.gif

I could be wrong, I do notice if I put all 3 interfaces (LAN/WAN/WAN6) MTU to same value (say 1480 or 1492), then high chance the LAN can get v6


Normally LAN MTU is 1500 on the router, so PC's MTU should also be 1500. The public facing interfaces, WAN/WAN6 would share the same MTU 1492 since it's PPPoE. The advmss MTU is normally lower, in my case 1432.

If 1/2 hours later and your v6 connection is broken, check your default route on the router. In my case it goes missing. Adding it back manually resumes v6. But of course this is troublesome. The default route gets added back later when the dhcp lease is renewed. So for me I add a second route pointing to the WAN interface. This is normally a static route.

at first, it is working fine..
but this few days, all ipv6 address are not working properly..

i am using one chrome extension called IPvFoo..
I can see what ip address it is trying to load for that hostname.

When I enabled ipv6, It can't get any ipv6 address, and no fall back to ipv4 address. Which cause some page not to load.. like lowyat forum..
Where else when I disable ipv6, it can load ipv4 address properly..

Are you using IPv6 nameservers along IPv4 nameservers ? Which IPv6 nameservers are you using ?

Try using Google's public IPv6 nameservers or OpenDNS public IPv6 nameservers and see if that helps.

Try this in Chrome: chrome://net-internals/#dns

It will show you what nameservers you are using.

The default policy in PfSense is to deny all traffic in/out on all interfaces by default and the rules you explicitly allow will pass through. This could be one of the reasons why you face problems.

If you are familiar with PF, you could write your own rules that will be reloaded whenever the WAN link is ESTABLISHED.

Normally I'd set this on the LAN interface:

CODE
pass on em0 all


Assuming 'em0' is your LAN interface. This will allow all traffic/protocols on the LAN interface.

And for outbound rule:

CODE
pass out all


Try flushing your filter rules only on the LAN interface and add the 2 rules above.

Wow, this IPv6 thread has grown alot since I first joined this thread. This is good news. Malaysians are starting/already started acknowledging IPv6 and accepting it as the norm. We have come a long way for this to be a reality. Kudos to all the hard work and effort from TM / endusers / enthusiasts.

Did TM gives out /56 prefixes now?

Only /64

Oh, just played with a Unifi Biz 100MB account, and I found out it gives out /56 prefix.

This much I know for Home Unifi broadband, TM IPv6 assign /64 dynamic-prefix so when you reconnect or reboot router, you get new prefix but your devices still using old prefix address and when you try to access say youtube or any IPv6 sites the page just loading..

There's 2 ways to solve this:

1* reduce IPv6 DHCP leasetime to say 3 mins or lower in your router(troublesome)

2* TM assign static-prefix(best option)

If many customers bomb TM requesting to change from dynamic-prefix to static-prefix then maybe have hope :>

Uhh noob question here. What is the point of this ipv6 over the ipv4?

v4 is depleted already or almost there and it become 'rare' and expensive. v6 created to remedy this issue and enough IP for every human, animal, insect on this planet till doomsday..

still not working leh

router shows connected ipv6

but windows pc or any phone on wifi have no ipv6 internet access
*
On Windows you can try in terminal this commands:

netsh int ipv6 sh addr | findstr 2001


If it show more than 2 IPv6 IP then your PC is still using old IPv6 address rather than new one.

Another command is: ping -6 www.google.com

see got reply or not.

My problem is local though. TM's side still OK. Just that my devices all end up with more than 1 valid prefix, don't know which one to use and ipv6 connectivity dies.
*
Thanks for the reply. Yes the RFC is for a workaround for ppl that familar with it. Yet you end up with a bunch of deprecated addresses in each host which shouldn't be there in the first place lol. On your router I think the 'secured' address is the most current one. On Windows, it will show up as 'preferred'.

With static prefix, you and the millions of Unifi/StreamyX users won't have this issue.

If you have many devices in your LAN address renumbering will become a nightmare with dynamic prefix. Same goes for VPN if you run one at home with IPv6.

I've highlighted this to TM and they will bring this up to their upper management for further discussion and reconsideration. Hopefully it goes through and they fix it for good.

Just another update
ipv6 does now seem to work for android. before it didn't but when i checked later on it worked  hmm.gif

few places i check on android device

- lan ipv6, works
- wan external ipv6, works
- https://ipv6-test.com  (results show native ipv6 working, SLAAC no. Ipv6 supported yes.)
I updated ubiquiti unifi ap and so it rebooted. so i think this is why now it works properly. because i did not reboot the wireless ap earlier after having configured pfsense? that's all i can think of why it wasn't working before  hmm.gif
my pfsense setting is the same

- WAN, dhcpv6 (settings like anhs posted but the change is prefix /64 )
- LAN ( track interface. the change is, for the other interfaces like vlans i setup for IOT, guest wifi etc, i had to add the prefix 1,2,3 and so on. Ans did not mention any of this in his settings, but this is what was required for those like myself using vlans)

- DHCPV6 server (disabled. not using this. honestly i'm confused why he opted not to configure this. all i know is that regardless of this disabled, ipv6 still works without it)

- RA (i'm using same like ANS posted, which is Assisted)
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/100931/ra-r...-vs-unmanaged/2
under this guideline i'm not sure that my config is the best setup, but considering it works i'm content xd...
now remains to be seen if this ipv6 pfsense config can persistent without the issue some of us experienced before ^^; (that said, i did try rebooting pfsense, disconnect wan/reconnect and it was able to connect back to wan just fine without issue)
*update

further troubleshoot,

i don't know why but android ipv6 is not fully working. for example, https://ipv6test.google.com
when doing a quick check, one moment the ipv6 shows it's working. then test a minute or so later it's not working. and it's constantly fluctuating between working and not working. but when i try the same test on desktop pc (windows 11), it works fine all the time. So i'm unsure why it's like this for android, any ideas?

hmm.gif
*update

i notice though that when enable mullvad vpn app, ipv6 will consistently work. i setup mullvad to use cloudflare dns ipv4/ipv6 so i can only think that perhaps the dns setting on pfsense is somehow not working correctly or something for android  hmm.gif  just don't know how to fix without using my vpn app. but this issue seems restricted to android, doesn't seem to be affecting windows 11 desktop pc at all.
*
My 2* cents with your setup and mine is I'm using dnsmasq and dnsmasq hands out IPv6 addresses and DNS information to LAN clients(PC, Android phone/tablet).

SLAAC = Stateless
DHCPv6 = Stateful

You could run both SLAAC + DHCPv6 or SLAAC + RDNSS so Windows gets IPv6 address from SLAAC and DNS information from DHCPv6 and Android phone/tablet get's IPv6 addresses/DNS information from SLAAC + RDNSS
