Hello everyone,
I searched the forum and some other bits of the internet and it seems like this setup usually is a no-brainer. But for some odd reason, I cannot get it up and running and I am a bit lost on how to debug this.
I got myself a /64 prefix from tunnelbroker.net and try to configure it on my OPNsense. Although on my end all lights show up green / up, I cannot even ping the remote end of the tunnel.
What I did is what is in the documentation here: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipv6_tunnelbroker.html.
I ended up having a gif Interface in the interface overview which shows up and the correct IPv6 addresses.
Also in the gateways, I made sure the tunnel is the default IPv6 gateway.
ifconfig shows me that the interface is there with the correct prefix length:
```
gif0: flags=1008051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 1280
description: IPv6Tunnel (opt7)
options=80000<LINKSTATE>
tunnel inet 1xx.x.x.9 --> 216.66.80.30
inet6 fe80::aab8:e0ff:fe03:fec5%gif0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xf
inet6 2001:470:xxxx:xxx::2 prefixlen 64
groups: gif
nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
```
netstat -rn6 shows me that the IPv6 tunnel is indeed the default gateway:
```
Routing tables
Internet6:
Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire
default 2001:470:xxxx:xxx::1 UGS gif0
```
But I cannot ping the other end of the tunnel. All "local" IPv6 addresses work. Even when configuring SLAAC, my clients get valid IPv6 addresses and up until the LAN interface on the OPNsense I can ping all hosts. It just seems like nothing wants to go through the tunnel.
But if I look at the live view and filter the destination IP I am trying to ping, it shows no blocked traffic... quite contrary, it shows that the packet was sent through the tunnel interface.
And this is where I am lost now... I have the impression that all interfaces are configured correctly and that the route for IPv6 traffic into the tunnel is honored. Tunnelbrocker.net is a free service and I want to make sure I have checked everything on my side before trying to open a ticket and ask them for help. Is there anything else I can do to debug if I have a problem on my end?
Are you behind CGNAT by any chance? Is your WAN IPv4 address identical to the client IPv4 address which is displayed in the tunnelbroker.net web interface?
