26.1, 26,4 Series / Re: With IPv6, how to get both...

Last post by espenu - Today at 12:38:44 AM

With IPv6 you can set any number of addresses you wish, so it should be possible to add the ULAs in addition to the SLAAC GUAs. The only issue is that the GUI doesn't expose this feat (at all: even in the static configuration, it allows only exactly one IPv6 address to be set). I'm looking into disabling LLA autogeneration and instead manually assigning LLAs to match the ULAs so I can see which machine is burping in the logs without translating MACs all the time. But I need to enter two addresses for this to work though the GUI. Command line or script works of course, but it's a GUI-based system so...

You can add additional ULAs as virtual IPs on each interface.

Why not using good, old IPv4 for internal things?

I am also fond of that, see: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=45822.0 for an in-depth discussion.

I get that, and technically I don't NEED IPv6 for internal communication.
It's an interesting exercise in understanding IPv6 better. As I understand it there is nothing "wrong" with my approach here, which is why it's frustrating that it almost works, but not quite.

I've finally had a chance to properly read through the thread you linked to, and there is a statement that I can't get to match with what I'm seeing from post 72:
"That is were ULA might be helpful. Then again, with dual stack, they will not be used when an IPv4 DNS entry exists."

But on my Debian machines it seems like ULA is prioritized over IPv4.
At least if I ping a host with both defined in DNS it's the ULA that's used.

sometimes unbound would die on the router, and pihole would just get SERVFAIL until I restarted the router.

That's what https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/ is for ;)

I really can't imagine a life without Pi-Hole anymore to be honest...

It just makes soo much sense to have it and it's easy to modify the way I want it to be!

If you want to save space how about placing the widget tile centered on top of the orange line, for all widgets ?

I mostly feel the same about strong consistency and tried both, yet the main objective was to save space with the tile layout.  :)
