It sounds like you are having trouble connecting from one to the other on the same network though... that might require the mDNS plugin, and/or, permissive firewall rules between your hosts?

Thanks.
I should have mentioned that the users were not on the same network.
I'll investigate the options you mentioned.

Is there an uncomplicated way to allow Animal Crossing New Horizons on Nintendo Switch to connect to other Animal Crossing users through OpnSense?
I currently have to bypass OpnSense to get it to work.

Currently I cannot set up IPV6 because I have a DUAL WAN config because the LAN can only track one interface.
Is there a plan to enable the LAN to track the ACTIVE interface at some point?

I am trying to set up IPV6 on dual-WAN setup.
My ISP said to enable SLAAC mode, which I did in opnsense.
Then, INTERFACE WAN_SLAAC GATEWAY appeared in my list of interfaces when setting up groups.
It does not appear in INTERFACES list in opnsense.
I am setting up my IPV6 groups similar to my IPV4 groups.
I have one group for load balancing and one for failover.
I notice the WAN_SLAAC GATEWAY is set to NEVER. Am I supposed to change that?
Why did enabling SLAAC give me another gateway? Am I supposed to configure it some way?
There is nothing in the docs about this.

I ended up going with Failover mode to get max speeds while retaining sticky connections.

I was able to set up multi-wan load balance group with IPV4 only.
The first WAN is working but when I add the second, the gateway shows 100% packet loss.
The WAN2 interface shows green and proper IPs are allocated.
When I check the logs I see arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 192.168.100.1 on igc2.
I don't know where that IP is coming from as I have not input that anywhere.
Then I noticed an update needed to be done, so I did it, and after the reboot, the gateway came up.
I did a speed test and my upload speed was capped with the slowest of the two services.
WAN has 500/500
WAN2 has 500/10
The upload speed was 600/10
So I gained a bit on download and lost a ton on upload.
How do I fix that?
Then, I disconnected my laptop from the LAN port and connected my switch and nothing on the switch came up.
How do I fix that?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks.
I read the blog but could not understand as it was way over my head.
Please provide instructions on how to use NPTV6.
I have read several forum entries on how to try to get multi-WAN IPV6 working and found conflicting information and insufficient detail.
There does not appear to be a simple straightforward approach.
If a detailed tutorial doesn't exist, this task appears to be in the too-hard category for me and I may have to return this Protectli box and go back to my ignorance-is-bliss TP-LINK/Omada setup.
I have the interfaces, firewall rules, and gateway groups set up.
IPV4 works but IPV6 won't flow.

Thanks.
I reverted to IPV6 CONFIG TYPE = DNCPV6 for both WANs and the LAN.
All gateways show UP, but I am still not being issued IPV6s.
I think I need to set ROUTER ADVERTISEMENTS to ASSISTED but ROUTER ADV doesn't show if TRACK INTERFACES is not used.
I can't use TRACK INTERFACE on the LAN because this is a dual-WAN system and I can only assign one WAN as the parent.
How do I get around that?

I have two separate WAN interfaces set to TRACK INTERFACE for IPV6 but I can only set 0 as the PREFIX ID for one of them.
I also wanted to set the LAN to TRACK INTERFACE but can't for the same reason.
How do I get around this?

Hello,
I am trying to set up a new opnsense box with dual WAN.
I noticed that the default WAN had both IPV4 and IPV6 support enabled, so I did the same for the second WAN.
I don't know if the two ISPs use IPV6 or not, so I enabled both in case they do.
Now, in all subsequent configs relating to the interfaces, IPV6 is now associated with the interface.
I also notice I now have 3 gateways (how did I end up with an extra one):
WAN_DHCP6 protocol IPV6 priority 256 description INTERFACE WAN_DHCP6 GATEWAY
WAN2_DHCP6 protocol IPV6 priority 256 description INTERFACE WAN2_DHCP6 GATEWAY
and WAN_GW protocol IPV4 priority defunct description WAN GATEWAY
Does opnsense fall back to IPV4 if no IPV6 is detected?
I saw a setting somewhere about having LAN track the interface, but with dual-WAN load balancing, how would I assign a single interface?
Can the network handle both IPV4 and IPV6 simultaneously if one ISP is on IPV4 and the other IPV6?

I think I may have figured it out.
My new interface appeared under INTERFACES.
I copied all the settings from the default WAN.
I hope that works.
I would delete my post but I can't find a DELETE option.

Hello,
I need to add a second WAN to my new opnsense setup.
I googled the topic and also referenced https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/multiwan.html
But all of the above assume the second WAN is already configured.
I cannot find instructions to actually add the second interface and identify it as a WAN and not a LAN.
When I go to INTERFACES > ASSIGNMENTS and add an interface, there isn't a way to identify it as a WAN.
So, how does opnsense know if the data is coming or going?
Thanks in advance.

Problem solved.
I just clicked SAVE on the page and put my laptop back to DHCP and it worked.

Thanks.
I did not change anything and my screen at SERVICES > ISC DHCPv4 > LAN reads:
SUBNET = 196.168.2.0
SUBNET MASK = 255.255.255.0
AVAILABLE RANGE = 196.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254
RANGE FROM 192.168.2.10 TO 192.168.2.245
Everything else is blank.
Everything still looks correct.
I must be missing something.
Is the pool at another page?

Thanks.
I assigned the laptop 192.168.2.2
That worked.
What should I adjust the settings to?
DHCP is enabled and should have worked.
