Title: How to disable IPv4 completely and use IPv6 only LAN?
Post by: kada_harsh on November 19, 2024, 03:02:24 PM
Hi @experts,

I am new to OPNsense. I need help with below Query.

my home ISP provides and supports IPv4 and IPv6 as shown below,
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : domain.name
   IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2401:4900:1c0f:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
   Temporary IPv6 Address. . . . . . : 2401:4900:1c0f:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::f522:d5d3:19c6:e662%12
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : fe80::9267:17ff:feb2:2193%12
                                       192.168.1.1

I have installed OPNsense and connected OPNsense WAN to my ISP router. I have configured OPNsense WAN accordingly. I wanted to create an IPv6 only LAN network. For this I have also configured Tayga DNS64 and NAT64 on OPNsense.

Query is, I always get IPv4 and IPv6 address for OPNsense LAN clients. I tried disabling IPv4 DHCP and that did not work.

What is the proper way to completly disable IPv4. What are the steps involved in disabling it. I know I am not doing it in the right way.


Thanks,
Kada

You would have to disable IPv4 on the LAN interface. But is that even feasible? There are just sooo many devices that still cannot use IPv6....
