Or you can use a firewall alias of type "Dynamic IPv6 host" as destination.

yes, this also works, but if you have multi-local interfaces the groups are easier to manage.

** if someone wondering what to fill the content within the "Dynamic IPv6 host" alias, just keep it empty and interface select your lan.

Thanks for "IsaacFL" on Reddit helped me solve this:


"First, go to Settings, Interfaces and make sure that "IPv6 DHCP" has "Prevent release" checked.

It shouldn't get a new prefix each reboot.

Secondly:

Go to Firewall, Groups, and create an Interface Group with all of your local Interfaces included. I called mine, "IG_LOCAL"

Now on your WAN Interface create the same ICMPv6 rule as above, but now your destination is "IG_Local net"

Basically, the Group acts as an Alias for all of the local Prefixes this way."

Hello,

I have Created a firewall network alias for my ipv6 prefix and created a rule on the WAN interface, passed ipv6 icmp echo request, source any, dest the Alias of my prefix, and its working fine but whenever my prefix change I have to update the alias manually.

How to set the alias to be adjusted to the new prefix automatically?

I made a silly mistake, anyway, If you are using your old router as a switch, make sure you are plugging the cable in one of the LAN ports, not in WAN, same for all your access points.

In my case:
FIBER > OPENSENSE (pppoe) > SWITCH (old router as access point and opnsense cable connected to the lan port, not wan) > APs.

in short, don't use the wan port in any device after opnsense.

every thing working smoothly now.
