Morning all,
I've been wanting to play with the Wifi stuff that comes with FreeBSD 11, and after some testing with it, I decided to make the jump on my home OPNSense box this morning. The upgrade went smoothly. Love it.
However, I noticed that after the upgrade I'm no longer able to get an IPv6 IP from my provider. I'm not 100% sure where I should start looking, so I thought I'd see if I can solicit any advice from the forums.
Here are what I think my relevant details are:
My WAN interface (em0) is configured to receive an IPv6 address via DHCPv6, with a /64 prefix. This configuration worked perfectly in OPNSense 16.7.13. My provider is Comcast, and I've been using IPv6 with OPNSense from them since August 2015.
What has changed, though I can't imagine that it is related, is that I switched OPNSense back to OpenSSL (from LibreSSL) for the upgrade to 17.1.b and FreeBSD 11.0. Aside from that my config is exactly as it was.
Here is what I have tried, in vain, to wit:
For each of those changes, I applied the change, waited a bit, and checked for an IPv6 address. When nothing came about after 2 - 5 minutes of waiting, I undid the change, and waited again for a few minutes. So far, I haven't yet made changes to more than a single setting at a time.
Is there a log file that might offer me some insight into this? It isn't a huge deal, but I (and my kids) notice that things seem to be smoother when I use v6 as much as possible -- Netflix and Youtube buffer a lot less.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Here is what I have tried, in vain, to wit:
- Disable IPv6 on WAN.
- Change the IPv6 prefix from /64 to /48
- Directly send SOLICIT checked.
- Use IPv4 connectivity checked.
