23.1 Production Series / Regular IPv6 Kernel Panics in 23.1

« on: March 14, 2023, 03:06:40 pm »

I believe this is a continuation of the issue found here: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=29467.0

I just wanted to make others aware; I swapped an Intel X520-DA2 into my system and immediately started noticing spontaneous kernel panics; sometimes in as little as 30 minutes but at least once a day.

Similar call stack:

I did build the official Intel ix driver against 23.1 sources because the official FreeBSD wasn't routing at 10G, per franco's method here. I only noticed these kernel panics begin after enabling VLAN hardware filtering on the NIC as my IOT VLAN was not working at all without.

Again, I just wanted to point this out in case others run into a similar issue and in case this is still a relevant issue being tracked by the opnsense team. Setting the tunable net.pf.share_forward6="0" did indeed resolve the issue for me.

22.7 Legacy Series / IPv6: Disable EUI64 auto address assignment on WAN from ISP RA?

« on: December 02, 2022, 07:26:25 pm »

Hello! I recently switched over to opnsense after leaving pfsense behind at the 2.4.5 release.

Both router distros have had IPv6 issues with my ISP (Google Webpass) since I moved here and started service with them. Don't get me wrong the service is great, but something about their IPv6 configuration just does not cooperate with FreeBSD routers by default.

More specifically, their router always sends me IPv6 RAs with prefix information with L+A flags set. As a result FreeBSD is taking the prefix and auto assigning an EUI64 address from it for the WAN interface; in my case the Router Advertisement looks like this.

Despite the fact that I think opnsense is "technically correct" here; Webpass is sending 2604:5500:30c8::/64 and telling me to autoconfig inside that prefix, Webpass blackholes traffic from the EUI64 auto configured address on the WAN interface (2604:5500:30c8:0:ae1f:6bff:fe83:22f7):

Code: [Select]

igb1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        description: WAN
        options=4e0002b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,JUMBO_MTU,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6,NOMAP>
        ether ac:1f:6b:83:22:f7
        inet6 fe80::ae1f:6bff:fe83:22f7%igb1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
        inet6 2604:5500:30c8:0:ae1f:6bff:fe83:22f7 prefixlen 64 autoconf
        inet6 2604:5500:30c8::662 prefixlen 128
        inet 136.30.119.91 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 136.30.119.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        nd6 options=23<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

I need to find a way to prevent opnsense from assigning that autoconf EUI64 address on the WAN IF or else all IPv6 traffic originating from the firewall itself fails. By default the router is using 2604:5500:30c8:0:ae1f:6bff:fe83:22f7 instead of the DHCPv6 assigned address 2604:5500:30c8::662; all my LAN clients do get an IPv6 address via either SLAAC or DHCPv6 from the valid /56 PD that they serve me, so they all work fine, but stuff like DNS from the router grinds to a halt or barely works at all.


I *think* the fix is to simply remove the ACCEPT_RTADV from the WAN if (igb1) and allow the DHCPv6 client to grab a prefix to pass to the LAN if and a WAN IP for the router to use. I just can't figure out the appropriate place to patch opnsense to ensure that flag is no longer set for my WAN if. (I'm also not really clear if doing so is going to break the IPv6 routing table; maybe I would rather just have radvd ignore the A flag on the RA?)

Thanks for any advice!
