Hello Franco,

the 6rd is working with the fiber from telfort in the netherlands.
I't is not supported by them directly but i have searched around and found all the info i need to get it working with pfsense and opnsense. But indeed the Freebsd 11 does not include the 6rd patches to make it work. The code was still in the webui so i (con)figured it could work.

Would it be possible to get this working or is this such a small base off people using this it is not worth getting this back into opnsense 11?

https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/commit/62498dd06a33a82a579d1cc113c2fa04d995ac91

I can give access to my setup if needed.

Best regards,
William

after searching a bit i noticed that when i create the stf interface manually i have less options when invoking ifconfig on 17.1  then on 16.7

ifconfig stf0 (16.7)
stf0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 1280
   nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
   v4net 0.0.0.0/32 -> tv4br 0.0.0.0

ifconfig stf0 (17.1.1)
stf0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 1280
   nd6 options=23<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
   groups: stf

Hello all,

I have upgraded my 16.7 firewall to 17.1.1 where I lost ipv6 6rd connectivity. The first issue i had was a kernel panic  which Franco already fixed for me see:https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=4437.0

I had to set my default ipv6 route manually with 16.7 but then it worked great.

Now the wan_stf interface  appears without an ipv6 address.
I have no idea what the issue could be because i entered the exact same settings in 17.1.1 as i did in 16.7.

OK, thanks for clarifying.
I will monitor the roadmap more closely.

Best regards,

Hello all,

I have a question why there are multiple service running as root suchs as:
ntp openvpn lighttpd

my background is more in the linux corner which runs most processes as a non privileged user but maybe there is a good reason I do not know about.

Hello Franco,

thank you for your quick response.
Glad that this bug gets squashed, can i download this fix already to test it?

Best regards,
William

Hello all,

i have a kernel panic at boot when it loads the 6rd interface.
pfsense has the same issue which is caused by an upstream bug within FreeBSD.

https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7124

Could this fix be included so 6rd works again?

With kind regards,
William
