Hi I recently moved from pfSense to OPNsense. My new "Silicone Power" NVME drive - https://amzn.eu/d/5KeN56Y) has a failed SMART status.

Having done a bit of digging, the drive is reporting a temperature of 115ºC which seems crazy - however the drive's x8 temperature sensors are reporting temperature in the 50s ºC range. I don't understand where the 115ºC is coming from, should I be concerned?

Thanks, yep but I couldn't find anything in regards to Dynamic IPv6 Host aliases.

Hi, I'm based in the UK and my ISP is Community fibre, as far as I'm aware my IPv6 IP address is dynamic.

WAN IPv6 configuration is as follows:

Code Select Expand

IPv6 Configuration Type: DCHPv6

DHCPv6 client configuration

Prefix delegation size: 48
Send IPv6 prefix hint: ☑︎

LAN IPv6 configuration is as follows:

Track IPv6 Interface

Code Select Expand

IPv6 Interface: WAN
IPv6 Prefix ID: 0
☑︎ Allow manual adjustment of DHCPv6 and Router Advertisements


I'm trying to create a Dynamic IPv6 Host Alias to use in a firewall rule, as I understand that if the prefix supplied by my ISP changes all my LAN IPs will change too.

I've checked out the documentation here https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/aliases.html#dynamic-ipv6-host

I'm a complete novice when it comes to IPv6, so apologies in advance. I understand that I need to "enter only the suffix of the address ... the lower 64 bits of the address" however my IP doesn't seem to match the format of the examples given:

E.g. Example IP: 2a02:1234:5678:0000:aaaa:bbbb:cccc:0001
The Dynamic IPv6 Host Alias for this would be: ::aaaa:bbbb:cccc:0001

My IP looks like: 2a02:XXXX:XXXX:0:230:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX
I've tried the following for the Dynamic IPv6 Host Alias, but my firewall rule doesn't work unless I enter the full IP :/
::230:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX
::0:230:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX

Any help appreciated!
