Im going to work with this together with Franco but it will still take a while and the result is yet to be seen.

Its not trivial.

I feel like I searched everywhere, but this didn't come up. Nice to see that it's on the list and sorry to bother you. Good luck!

And if the Prefix changes from time to time anyway... well... then that's too bad and I will just have to deal with it once in a while :)

My ISP does indeed also assign it statically, but I am trying to avoid repeating configuration wherever I can. When it changes in a few years I would prefer not to search through my entire stack (also outside OPNsense). But for me it is indeed more of a road-bump than a deal breaker.

Yeah dnsmasqd probably suffices for most simple setups, but for me it feels too simplistic. ISC feels just right by automatically taking and changing the subnet while also having enterprise features.

Thank you both for your helpful answers!

Effectively a follow up to https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=47136.0 for the new versions.

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/kea.html#prefix-delegation-ia-pd still lists that "Kea supports prefix delegation with static prefixes." and that "Dynamic prefixes common with most residential ISPs are not supported.".

Does 26.1 offer this functionality (either in dnsmasq or Kea) or do I need to remain on ISC DHCPv6 for this feature? If not, is this feature expected to land in a future version?

Any help or tips would be appreciated.
