Set up OPNsense on Unifi and just thought might as well share the process.

Go to Interfaces > Other Types > VLAN
Parent Interface > select WAN port, VLAN tag 500.

Go to Assignments > under WAN select vlan500 on (WAN port)

Go to [WAN] > ipv4 = PPPoE, ipv6 = DHCPv6. under PPPoE configuration, enter your Unifi username and password.
Scroll down under DHCPv6 client configuration, check
> Request only an IPv6 prefix
> Prefix Delegation Size 64
> Send IPv6 Prefix Hint
> Use IPv4 connectivity
edit NOV 2022

user posted image
Go to [LAN] under IPv6 configuration type > Track Interface.
Track IPv6 interface > select WAN.
to use NDP, check [Allow manual adjustment of DHCPv6 and Router Advertisements]
then go to [Services] > Router Advertisements. select Stateless for Router Advertisements

May have to reboot system to bring DHCPv6 server up and running.

enjoy

Take note that iOS and Android dislike DHCPv6 Server, your phone wont received IPv6, it's advisable to use NDP instead

iOS works fine for me with DHCPv6. I can't get SLAAC to work.

Thanks for the guide. Just started with this new company and they asked me to look into Opnsense and test it around.

Will keep this guide in my personal notebook.

is like DHCP, either randomly generated or using EUI64 (MAC Address as IPv6 Address)

IPv6 has 2 type to hand out Address:
1. DHCPv6
2. NDP

DHCPv6 akin to IPv4 DHCP. Router are responsible to giving out address that you set.

NDP is different. Device ask router prefix and set own address either Randomly or EUI64.

EUI64 is Extended Unique Identifier, it using device MAC Address as IPv6 Address, good for Device Service like Printer & Server, NDP play well with EUI64, this way you can have Static IPv6

Plus, EUI64 + Link Local IPv6 will make your life easier, no matter what router/switch you choose or change, you still can connect without set anything.

I been using EUI64 + Link Local IPv6 on DBKL HP Printer, when they move other place, no need to configure even on new Router/Switch

EUI64 like Pendrive, Plug n Play.

Anyone tested for Maxis fibre with the above ipv6 configuration? Currently I am using Opnsense as well but without ipv6.

this sounds like whichever client you’re testing on isn’t getting the ipv6 address handout from Opnsense

For most unifi users, a firewall adds no value.

The vast majority of security breaches are man-made. Like clicking on that link that says you have won a grand prize.

May I ask what kind of box you are using? Thinking to get one to install, but I cannot find it. At least can do hardware encryption for testing ipsec.

Currently I'm using 6 lan ports i5-7200u mini pc which bought from taobao 2 years back, actually it's too powerfully for my needs, iperf test with IPS enabled getting max throughput around 940Mb and cpu max @60%. I'm getting a J4125 4 lan port mini pc now for another project from taobao also, it's cheaper but there is a risk if want to claim warranty, seems like it's impossible to send back the item for warranty claim.

similar situation. i got a 6 port i5-8250u. hardly break a sweat.
so running Opnsense in Proxmox as a VM, add on a couple
of things on the same box as home server.

sorry, a bit confused. i'm using pfsense fyi.

has the settings to enable ipv6 for tmnut unifi been updated from this article?
https://advanxer.com/blog/2015/03/configuri...on-pfsense/amp/


in the article they mention using dhcpv6, but comments here seem to allude that this is no longer the recommended setting? confused.gif

IPv6 PPPoE has 2 type of Address

1. PPPoE Interface Address (/128)
This address is use for Router only

2. Prefix Address
This address for LAN use, it hand out address prefix (2001:a:b:c:smile.gif and prefix length (/64)

for PPPoE, must use DHCPv6 to obtain:
1. Interface Address
2. Address Prefix
3. Prefix Length

For LAN IPv6 distribution, use NDP

if you have /60 - /48 Prefix Length, then you can use DHCPv6 Server to hand out LAN IPv6, this way you can have extended or more subnet's

hm.....

i sorta get what ur saying, but trying to translate that to how to configure pfsense to work with tmnut unifi ipv6 is a separate matter xd whether i managed to configure as u mentioned.

i mostly use this as a clue by the ts
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5204701

QUOTE
Go to [WAN] > ipv4 = PPPoE, ipv6 = DHCPv6. under PPPoE configuration, enter your Unifi username and password.
Scroll down under DHCPv6 client configuration, check > Use IPv4 connectivity

Go to [LAN] under IPv6 configuration type > Track Interface.
Track IPv6 interface > select WAN.
to use NDP, check [Allow manual adjustment of DHCPv6 and Router Advertisements]
then go to [Services] > Router Advertisements. select Stateless for Router Advertisements

May have to reboot system to bring DHCPv6 server up and running.

enjoy






as for the lan, all i could find was the dhcpv6 server RA, which i enabled.

Then i tested on mobile android, now ipv6 works whereas before it didn't.

I'm assuming this is the NDP you were talking about? cause thats the only option i could find in pfsense :{


from desktop, i get a 8/10 score here (the 2 parts it said had issue with was dns, and ICMP. for the dns portion, there is no dns hostname shown, not sure why hmm.gif )

https://ipv6-test.com/



and a perfect score here

Yes you are right, it should be under Router Advertisements.
using Stateless DHCP correct?

looking at netgate docs under DHCPv6/RA there’s a part about being unable to receive DNS info, can see if that helps solve it

yes, u mentioned stateless so i set it to that in pfsense.

since ur using opnsense, so i then had to translate ur suggestion and make guesses what options these were in pfsense and adjust accordingly.

not sure about dns info but the internet works.

in ipv6 test i got a 8/10 rating in one of them. but in another site it was 10/10 no issues. google ipv6 also no issues. i also tested on mobile android and ipv6 seems to work from there (i noticed that mobiel android ipv6 only worked after i enabled the DHCPv6 RA. but if u don't, then seems only the desktop pc worked for ipv6 only hmm.gif )

So funny thing happened, updated to 22.1.9 , rebooted and internet stopped working.
tried switching to another router and error shows.. PAP authentication error.
called TM to come and fixed it, password was changed and no problem running on that router.

switched back to Opnsense today because i’m running on Proxmox, updated and rebooted to run a new kernel, and Opnsense stopped working again.
showing PAP authentication error once again

my internet also suddenly didn't work.

equipment and wiring all ok. rebooted everything still didn't work. modem showed no issues connecting ppoe, but log shows there is authentication issue.

so the technician just connected the default router and logged in fine.

after re-adding the cable back to pfsense, wan could connect fine.


so firstly excuse the layman talk, but i suspect the issue has something to do with how pfsense is communicating to unifi to login for internet access which somehow got stuck which resulted in no internet. so when using the default unifi router equipment to login, this somehow unstucked the login, which would explain why reconnecting the ethernet back to the pfsense router why wan could work fine now (because the account connection to unifi was unstuck).

i don't know the technical explanation for this, but this is what i discovered.

Theory #1, could be that my ip4/ip6 pppoe settings is done incorrectly which is why it resulted in this odd behaviour resulting in internet authentication failure. or the #2nd theory, could be some sort of bad stuff with tmnut end which results in this odd issue. thats all i could deduce from this hmm.gif but it's definitely not a hardware or wiring issue (in my case) cause i checked.


so no, i did not have to resort to resetting unifi password (fyi calling tmnut to reset the port didn't work, neither did restarting modem). just simply connecting to wan using the default unifi router, then replacing back the ethernet to the pfsense router (to connect to wan) seemed to fix the problem.


anyway i think u were spot on in regards to your comment


i'm not using opnsense, but my pfsense setting is roughly similar to yours hmm.gif if u figure out if the setting was done incorrectly somehow (which is causing this weird account froze/stuck behaviour, assuming the issue is on the pfsense/opnsense router settings side), i would love to know notworthy.gif

but for now, my temporary solution is to have the default router on standby to temporary login to wan to unstuck, then switch back to pfsense, if i encounter this issue again (thkfully this doesn't seem to occur very often afaik), before i bother calling up tmnut to look into it sweat.gif

lucky you. I tried using TMNut stock router no joy. still getting authentication error and had to call them. technician said if i face this error again to call TM and ask them to “release HSI”.
suspect IPv6 because i was messing around with turning IPv6 on/off.

did you update pfsense recently for this to happen?

i''m not sure but i think ur right. i've used pfsense for years using ipv4 only, no issue. only recently i added the ipv6 based on your guide, but then i run into this issue where the unifi pppoe login gets stuck.

so the technician explained was, the pfsense router gets stuck for some reason (he doesn't elaborate why). So his solution was, use the stock unifi router and don't use back pfsense, if get stuck will void warranty (though that makes no sense if u don't tamper with their own equipment when switching back).

But his point was, the pfsense gets stuck, i suspect like u its something to do with ipv6.

i noticed when setting up the original stock unifi router, he asked to reset password. i think he did that to unstuck it (also based on what i read online. though he did not want to admit he had to do that to unstuck it).

i tried asking them what “release HSI” is, he claimed he don't know rolleyes.gif but i'll try that next time. did doing so fix your issue though?

is it possible to reset ur unifi password yourself? so don't have to call the technician over to do that? becauz seems like that would solve the issue if i encounter this next time hmm.gif


so anyway, i switch pfsense back to an older config where i used ipv4 only (no ipv6). This old setup worked fine for many years, so hopefully i won't encounter this stuck pppoe issue (which resulted in unable to relogin to pppoe again)

sweat.gif


hm i'm using the latest pfsense, no idea if that is the reason for the recent issues hmm.gif the only setting changed recently was just adding ipv6 to get that working, which is why i suspect that was the culprit.

I have been using Opnsense IPv4/IPv6 for almost a year without issues actually. just the recent 22.1.9 update and reboot then start to have this issue.

I don’t think it is possible to reset Unifi password yourself.
the last time i tried talking to customer service to reset password, they say will send sms of new password. didn’t get it at all then technician came the next day to solve it, so I’m not sure if it can solve the issue, logically yes.

So mine got stuck 3 times, first time they change password.
then 2nd and 3rd time technician just make a phone call to solve it and he didn’t even have to come, no password change too

you mean you request new router from TM?
l thought you meant use the one given by TM in the beginning, mine still in good condition since the beginning of contract so just took it out to try.

i use the regular pfsense 1 year + but only using ipv4 without issue. only recently when added ipv6 then i started having this freeze issue at least once a month or 2-3 month roughly, when before i never had this issue

o like this? well hopefully customer support will be enuff. i rather not call the technician over. is it true there is such warranty if u use ur own networking gear like router? technician claim should i decide to use my own router like the pfsense, if it resulted in tmnut account getting stuck/frozen again, then he claims warranty expire. But how does that work? it's not like i am flashing third party firmware onto the default tmnut router which i am not using. i keep the default router so i can use that to relogin because it should work, because by their logic, at that point i am using their own gear/setup so it should connect to the internet, so then they can't blame pfsense for why i cannot connect sweat.gif .

But he claims that for whatever reason, pfsense is causing the account login to get stuck (this part we can at least agree), there is no opinion why or any effort to troubleshoot this apparently (although i saw to fix this issue, he had to reset the tmnut password for isp rolleyes.gif ) This part we disagree, because since the issue seems to be on their end why my isp relogin seems to get stuck for whatever reason, they can't just simply deny to solve this issue (i assume password reset or whatever it is like they did for u but didn't what exactly?) under the basis u decide to connect using pfsense that gets it stuck yet again, can they? hmm.gif

i alrdy switch config to an old working one which only connects to ipv4 (but no ipv6), so hope i won't get this issue again, but i can't be completely certain until i've tested this for a while sweat.gif

technician saw my network rack, but don't know what a nas is.... (probly didn't even know what a server rack switch is either from the looks of it as well) doh.gif that's why hard to take seriously. i'm not a full fledged expert but even i know enuff smile.gif i also thought it was bs....

so if they refuse fix internet, can i refuse pay my bill? rolleyes.gif

to uncomplicate during troubleshoot, i even just connect the modem to standard unifi router (this is very easy to do so wasn't a bother, just removed 2 ethernet cables and rewire accordingly), and hook direct to desktop pc, so can illustrate the networking in network rack has no relevance at that point, if the internet isn't functional.

the part i agreed with somewhat, was that perhaps something with the pfsense config was probly causing some issue during reconnect which made the unifi account frozen/stuck which results in unsuccessful login, even if u switch back to default tmnut router to do so.

but i never heard before u can void warranty using ur own gear? hmm.gif (i never even said i was going to reflash their tmnut router. maybe he got confused?)

also tried to get me to rewire all the cabling to use default tmnut router fulltime right then and there, but i declined citing i will do later, but i later put back own my pfsense router after first using a working config i had no issue with for many years sweat.gif internet confirmed working again no issue for now smile.gif

though i still haven't figured out why the isp relog is stuck/frozen hmm.gif



but like u mentioned, seemed like they can fix on their end without sending anyone over. how come they don't train their technician to diagnose and troubleshoot this issue? save everyone time rolleyes.gif

I think a lot of things they based it on minimal training to get it done.
So one of the routers have default IP of 192.168.0.1,
Once i changed it to 192.168.1.1… technician stumped because he dunno how to connect. every time he go 192.168.0.1 no response, in the end he had to call senior to assist. I couldn’t bear to watch so i helped a bit.

and our issue is very rare according to the technician who came to my house. he has never seen it before. only after i told him what i suspected then he call and reset.

anyway right now i'm using old pfsense config when i only had ipv4 only setup. so far haven't had any internet issue. but it's only been a month... so that hardly says much. i'll report back next year or if i have an issue occur for it before then.

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=5285577&


but at some point not many years from now, we probly need this ipv6 sorted out sweat.gif but for now using just only ipv4 seems to be ok.

i run speedtest i still max out on my subscribed speed. latency is roughly same so basically not rely much diff when using ipv6 afaik. also since i use vpns, it's even more of a reason not to use it.

i have not seen it. but maybe this is the culprit?

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)

for pf news, there is this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDgF6UoyThQ


pfsense is adding features to their subscription pf plus release, while keeping the open source pfsense community version at a slower update track.

makes me wonder about if i should start moving to opnsense yet or not? but i'm not too familiar with it. is it better than pfsense? hmm.gif

also recently pfsense added a tailscale package for pfsense which is nice. also it already has useful packages like pfblocker, and even suricata which i'm not sure opnsense has or not.

for ipv6 news in pfsense i'm not sure sad.gif but this is the changelog
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/...ases/index.html

latest ce version atm
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/...2-01_2-6-0.html

64. be wary though, i suspect it’s TM screwing up some ipv6 settings. if after reconnection/reboot you get no internet. you need to call TM to get it solved.

just to confirm, setting strictly to ipv4 only, and omitting the ipv6 settings, the connection remains stable and i don't experience any lock out/issue when reconnecting back to tmnut.

long term no good, since will need to figure out how to get ipv6 working in pfsense to work with tmnut without this issue sad.gif



so what is your situation like? did you figure out the working ipv6 settings for your opnsense? or do you still have this frozen internet and having to call up tmnut each time to unstuck it? hmm.gif


or does anyone else who uses pfsense have a working setting for this? confused.gif

https://devpress.csdn.net/opensource/62f4ef...34661894b8.html

but the fella didn't setup ipv6 sad.gif does that mean even he couldn't get that to work for pfsense with tmnut?

seems openwrt no issue for ipv6 hmm.gif

too risky. too troublesome if a problem occur sad.gif

at one point, i thought maybe it's due to me using vlan in my pfsense config (for guest wifi and iot). but based on your result doesn't seem to be that hmm.gif so i could only narrow this down to something related to the ipv6 configuration on pfsense side, or something on isp side that doesn't play nicely with pfsense?

o well.. i'll visit back this thread in 1-2 years and hope someone has a solution by then laugh.gif using ipv4 only reliably for now on latest community edition pfsense nod.gif i max out on the subscriber dl/ul speed, and latency is low for gaming, so not really much else to complain unless maybe if torrent peer strictly use ipv6 then doesn't that mean i cannot download from those users? other than that i don't think there is a big issue, until a few more years from now if they force everyone to use ipv6 eventually

if > 24h downtime, claim rm50 rebate.
perhaps if done often enough with enough volume they’ll do something about it

at one point, i thought maybe it's due to me using vlan in my pfsense config (for guest wifi and iot). but based on your result doesn't seem to be that  hmm.gif so i could only narrow this down to something related to the ipv6 configuration on pfsense side, or something on isp side that doesn't play nicely with pfsense?

o well.. i'll visit back this thread in 1-2 years and hope someone has a solution by then  laugh.gif  using ipv4 only reliably for now on latest community edition pfsense  nod.gif  i max out on the subscriber dl/ul speed, and latency is low for gaming, so not really much else to complain unless maybe if torrent peer strictly use ipv6 then doesn't that mean i cannot download from those users? other than that i don't think there is a big issue, until a few more years from now if they force everyone to use ipv6 eventually

for your pfsense there's this.
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/...igure-ipv6.html

CODE
Do not allow PD/Address release

   Prevents the operating system from sending a DHCPv6 release message on exit.

   Some ISPs will release the allocated address or prefix when a client sends this message. With this option set, the client is more likely to receive the same allocation with subsequent requests.


how's yours configured with regards to this option?

nope tried that. papy had better luck then me, since he could call them up and they KNEW EXACTLY what to do to fix his issue.

they don't seem to care about fixing this issue or finding out whats causing it. you know tmnuet customer service, they don't care since they are monopoly so their service is just whatever sweat.gif

After much try and error and research, I've managed to get pfSense to work with UniFi's IPv6 allocation. For a bit of a background, I'm running the latest release of pfSense i.e. 2.2.1 and also I got this to work with my office's UniFi which is on Biz 10.

I'd just like to share my settings here to benefit those who might want to get IPv6 to work for their pfSense box.

1. Under "System -> Advanced -> Networking", make sure "Allow IPv6" is checked. Then go to "Interfaces", click on "WAN". Under IPv6 Configuration Type, choose "DHCP6". MTU should be 1492.

2. Under DHCP6 client configuration section, put a tick mark on "Request a IPv6 prefix/information through the IPv4 connectivity link". In the drop down list for DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size, choose "56". (I have no idea why this is the case, but the allocated subnet for both the PPPoE and LAN are actually 64. I've tried choosing 64 here, but it doesn't work. Maybe 56 is for a Biz account. If 56 doesn't work for you, try choosing 64 especially if you're on home UniFi account.)

Also, put a tick mark for "Send an IPv6 prefix hint to indicate the desired prefix size for delegation". Click on "Save".

3. Now, go to "Interfaces", click on "LAN". Under IPv6 Configuration Type, choose "Track Interface". Type 1492 for MTU.

4. Under Track IPv6 Interface section, ensure IPv6 Interface "WAN" is selected and as for IPv6 Prefix ID, just type 0 (zero) here.

5. Under Private networks section, ensure "Block Bogons networks" is unchecked. Then, click "Save".

6. Finally, I've read that IPv6 requires ICMP to work. So under Firewall -> Rules, I've also created a rule to allow ICMP IPv6 traffic for both WAN and LAN.

I'm not entirely certain what the security implications are with the above settings to the firewall, so please be forewarned.

With the above settings, I'm able to get IPv6 addresses for PPPoE and LAN interfaces for pfSense and also devices connected to the LAN. Hope this helps those who are using pfSense.

Dear TM IPv6 Implementor,

IMHO, i've successfully run TM_IPv6 on pfSense and managed to get it working SLAAC mode and DHCPv6 mode (one mode at a time - not both). (Streamyx ADSL 8Mbps here - PPPoE)

After relentless hour of searching, calling here and there (esp TM guys) and the results is very good. I'm able to replicate the case if needed but to pfSense users/IPv6 Implementor please do read on.

Findings:

1. Only works in pfSense 2.2 . Currently i'm on BETA specifically pfSense-LiveCD-2.2-BETA-i386-20141017-1129

2. Set your WAN to DHCPv6 , Tick Request IPv6 via IPv4 connectivity, Tick Request Prefix no IP Address , Select 64 as for the size and last Tick the box third .Of course you'll need to setup your PPPoE Username and Password.

3. Go to LAN and as usual set your IPv4 LAN IP and for IPv6, Pick DHCPv6 here. Tick the first and the third box only and set 64 too.

4. You may want to adjust your DNS Server at System -> General Setup accordingly.

As soon as all the configuration in place and you have your internet connectivity, please head on to Status -> Interfaces . Your pfSense LAN interface should pickup the PD (Prefix Delegation IP) and you can set your PC/Netbook/Notebook "statically" using the information. Below are the example:

PD Info
pfSense IPV6 "LAN" IP -  2001:4411:7a4::1:1
YOUR PC IPv6 "LAN" IP - 2001:4411:7a4::1:fdc0:c0d3
Subnet - 64
Gateway -  2001:4411:7a4::1:1

EDITED: The IPv6 Address will change once you reboot your pfSense and you'll have to manually assign the address again. So do watch out.

Another caveat to look for, as far as i'm testing, i do suffer MTU problem (certain website lag and unable to accesss) and i haven't lowered yet the MTU. You should try to lower your MTU at 1432 as per suggested on previous post and test it out. YMMV

As always, pfSense 2.2 is still in BETA mode and i can't wait for RELEASE version of 2.2
If anyone wishes to look at my config and screenshot, please state it here and i'll try my best to upload somewhere.

P/S: the "LAN" IPv6 is actually Globally Routed IP - WAN IPv6 so to speak . I'm trying to differentiate the terms so that hopefully you might grasp the idea. Please do pardon me for any confusion.

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 :>

Switch to Auto prefix delegation

Then use SLAAC+stateless for best compatibility


The reason why I suggest use SLAAC+stateless is because Android devices (incl chromebook) not compatible with DHCPv6

When possible, do not use Auto default settings because may cause possible compatibility problems

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...ost&p=102695412


sources are either outdated info (old pfsense), or for other types of routers (possibility those settings might also work on pfsense) sweat.gif

i don't use ipv6 currently, so it's not really configured.

this is how the config looks in pfsense
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAPTf-y-oNo


under interfaces there is WAN and LAN. then there is also the Services > DHCPv6 Server & RA. These are all the ipv6 settings in pfsense afaik hmm.gif

o right... you can also setup some firewall rules as well depending on your other configuration. but the most important for isp is the former ones mentioned.

Depending on infrastructure, either 621 (Maxis on TM) or 11 (Maxis on Maxis)
there are also a few more rare ones but one of these 2 should work

i found a credible answer to what is going on

https://serverfault.com/questions/714890/ip...-work-around-it


basically tmnut gives unifi home /64. at most you can only do interface tracking wan for the lan only using prefix id 0.

but if u want to do more interface tracking for the other vlans, NORMALLY you would do prefix id 1...2...3.. and so. But you can't because you would require the ISP to give like /56 prefix for you to be able to do so (this is my understanding, so correct me if i am wrong)

outside of that, doesn't seem to be a solution for users like myself that have client devices in separate vlans in regards to ipv6 working properly with tmnuts implementation apparently.

But i sort of figured out a solution here

1. don't use guest wifi which separates out to a different vlan. make sure the wifi uses the single lan which was setup in pfsense interface tracking, this will confirm have a reliable ipv6 working without issue

2. use a vpn. i noticed when using my mullvad vpn client on android, ipv6 will work just fine. i don't know the technical explanation for this, just that it works. it's a work around basically.

as to why sometimes my ipv6 works on the guest wifi vlan, i think it could probably be some sort of misconfiguration in vlan which leaks the ipv6 traffic from the lan side is my guess, but i'm not fully sure.


unless someone else knows a working solution i'm not aware of, other than getting the unifi business subscription, or another isp that does provide the require prefix. noticed another user on forum tried to request the required prefix with no luck, so guess thats not an option either.



anyway the only working pfsense config i am aware of to get ipv6 to work, is ans guide. some posted about his guide on their blog
https://advanxer.com/blog/2015/03/configuri...on-pfsense/amp/


but ans updated guide was posted here
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry73677223


and i commented earlier what i found didn't work, like the /prefix 56 he uses only applies to unifi busi, not unif home that uses /64

and also the fact that his guide did not mention anything about ipv6 solution for vlan interfaces in pfsense. not his fault because not everyone use vlans in their network setup.

I followed this guide and got the box to work with DiGi Fiber. VLAN is 629. Worked immediately upon plugging the WAN cable.

I'm currently using an old SFF box from Lenovo. It was formerly an office PC with Pentium Dual Core. I opted for the ZFS installation with dual HDDs. If stable, later will migrate to a better spec machine.

like that getting a good consumer router and start tinkering that first is a good choice.
u messed up that resetting is just a single button press usually
i remember not having a good time after a mess up in settings when tinkering
after getting used to that only decide moving to using SBC as router

I am using OPNSense ver 25.7 and Unifi 500 Mbps package.

I believe this is the most up-to-date version of setting up the OPNSense for TM Unifi's IPv6.

Assumption:
You already have a working PPPoE WAN. If not, use OPNSense wizard to assist you to setup the PPPoE WAN.
Your Interface naming might be different from mine. But I hope your understand which interface is meant for WAN and LAN.
If you have setup a bridge for bridging your device ethernet ports traffic like switch, your LAN interface should be your bridge
If your OPNSense device only have 2 ethernet ports setup, then skip Step 2.

Step 1:
In Interface -> WAN -> IPv6 Configuration, select DHCPv6

Same page, Interface -> WAN -> DHCPv6 client configuration portion.
Set Configuration Mode: Basic.
Prefix delegation size: 64.
Tick Request prefix only checkbox.
Tick Send prefix hint checkbox.
Leave both Optional prefix ID and Optional interface ID empty (no value entered)
Click Save button

Step 2 (optional: only application for those setup Bridge)
Interface -> Devices -> Bridge, select the bridge you have setup.
Tick Enable link-local address checkbox
Click Save button

Step 3:
Interface -> LAN -> IPv6 Configuration Type
Select Track Interface

Same page, Interface -> LAN -> Track IPv6 Interface -> Parent Interface
Select WAN.
Leave Assign prefix ID and Optional interface ID empty (no value entered)
Tick Allow manual adjustment of DHCPv6 and Router Advertisements checkbox
Click Save button

Step 4:
Services -> Router Advertisement -> LAN (because you ticked the checkbox in Step 3)
Set Router Advertisment: Assisted
Router Priority: Normal
Source Address: Automatic
DNS Options: up to you whether tick or untick both checkboxes
Click Save button and check the Router Advertisement service has started.

By finishing the above steps, you should have enabled IPv6 for your TM Unifi.
Some devices might not able to get IPv6 address, reboot your OPNSense device should do.

Sorry for late reply.

Under the System -> Interfaces -> WAN:
The IPv4 Configuration Type in the Generic Configuration should be PPPoE.
The IPv6 Configuration Type in the Generic Configuration should be DHCPv6.

Sorry for late reply.

Under the System -> Interfaces -> WAN:
The IPv4 Configuration Type in the Generic Configuration should be PPPoE.
The IPv6 Configuration Type in the Generic Configuration should be DHCPv6.

im using dhcpv6 but something is very wrong.

For vlan e.g. guest vlan, when i put DHVPv6 it break the internet. wont work at all. So for guest vlan had to remove that.

what this does, ipv4 works on guest vlan. Only the vlan1 network has working ip6 and ipv4 both.

So i donno why that is.

IPv6 GUA is public IP. I needs to come from TM

You cannot use the same EUI64 index for 2 different subnet.
On Unifi Home, TM only give a single /64, so you cannot use a different index either.

Conclusion: You can only have one subnet using IPv6.
Why? Because stupid TM don't support BCOP-690.

I guess you want to isolate guest devices from your usual network with different IP ranges right?

Supposedly the DHCPv6 is getting IPv6 ranges assigned by TM Unifi over PPPoE connection.

Let me research what I can help you.

i donno why but when i copy the lan DHCP6 in the ipv6 advertisement and stuff to the guest vlan, it made the guest vlan internet partly work

meaning some sites work, while others didn't. so the internet was partly working. it was a mess laugh.gif


so my work around, ipv6 only for lan, and for guest vlan only ipv4. thats the only working setting i got to work.

posted the full story here
https://www.reddit.com/r/TPLink_Omada/comme...erly_on_eap773/


so i'm just wondering, any of u setup any vlans, did your ipv6 go nuts and break the internet? for pfsense with tmnut sweat.gif

i scoured the setting and honestly donno what i did to mess up.

for the ipv6 setting, i copied exact from the private vlan and use same for guest vlan.

only difference is for the ipv4 they use different subnet since on a separate vlan of course.

Do you setup the firewall rules allowing passthrough of IPv6 traffic from your guest vlan?

passthorough?

hm...

under firewall rules

for lan, allow both ipv4 and ipv6 for lan subnets.

for guest vlan also same but for guest subnets.


if thats what u meant? hmm.gif

Yes, since you mention certain site not reachable from guest vlan.

Try ping -4 and ping -6 on www.google.com from your guest vlan, see which one or both could reach out the respective IPv4 and IPv6 address.

ipv4 works. ipv6 doesnt.

because as soon as the ipv6 stuff was removed for guest vlan, internet worked for the guest vlan no issue other than no ipv6

For me I don't share the /64 delegated prefix on any of my VLANs.

What I did is I get a /48 from HE TunnelBroker, then I treat the TunnelBroker interface as another Ipv6 gateway in OPNsense.

Then I allocate /64 prefixes to my various VLANs.

Then I create a loopback interface with IPv6 to track interface from WAN.

Then I create NAT NPTv6 rule to map my LAN /64 prefix to the prefix on the loopback interface for traffic going out on WAN.

Then I create outbound NAT rule to NAT66 every other VLAN to the address of the loopback interface for traffic going out on WAN.

I make sure my firewall rules allowing traffic in from HE TunnelBroker has the reply-to set explicitly so it'll route the replies back out that way.

Result:
1. All my networks have proper stable GUA prefixes, that can be reachable from the internet for inbound connections.
2. All my outbound IPv6 connections will get routed directly through my ISP (in this case Maxis) and not through the tunnelbroker node.
3. I don't have to do any weird hacks to share a single subnet across multiple VLANs.
4. All IPv6 addresses are valid for connectivity internally, except the delegated prefix from Maxis which is really only used for outgoing connections because it. keeps. changing.


But yeah, I use maxis but this should be applicable to any ISP that only gives a single /64
