I might be asking my question the wrong way or presenting too much detail.

tldr; I have two active VPN gateways that each work on their own, but when put into a load balancing group only one seems to be in use the majority of the time.  When I first set this up (sometime before 25.7.6, I think) the load balancing was working, so I don't know if something changed in recent versions or if the "problem exists between keyboard and chair" as they say.

Appreciate any tips on what to look into.

It Just Works™ in Linux.  Nothing needed besides the NIC driver (built in) and userspace tools like NetworkManager.

I have an i225-v on my client PC and I'm not having any issue with vlan and bridge interfaces for sharing a tagged trunk between my host and some guest VMs.

Quote from: allan on December 13, 2025, 12:45:57 AMIPv6-PD is not commonly used and it is not actively monitored-at least by Tier 1 support since they told me their diagnostics all show green.
If that's the case for business accounts... then the fact that IPv6-PD works at all for my home connection is something of a miracle and I'm on my own.

Great.

Fair.

Thats all I see if i filter for the translated prefix.

I setup Tayga with https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/tayga.html . I'm trying to go IPv6-Mostly, so I do use Tayga as a CLAT on my desktop for 464XLAT.

It isn't just ICMPv6 messages getting in. But Live View doesn't show it.

The screenshot shows a packet passing the nat64 interface. That's an internal virtual interface connecting Tayga to the kernel. In this context, "let out anything" means "allow the kernel to send packets to Tayga".

Do you only see such matches for ICMPv6? The default rules allow certain inbound ICMPv6 types on all interfaces, like Destination Unreachable or Time Exceeded.

Do you maybe use Tayga as a CLAT?

Cheers

Rischtisch. Ich denke, ungeachtet von Kea vs. DNSmasq ist das Hauptproblem bei DHCPv6 mit dynamischen Adressen in jedem Fall, dass DHCP eben ein Pull-Ansatz ist: Bevor der Client nicht selbst fragt, bekommt er keine neue IPv6-Adresse, auch, wenn er sie aufgrund des geänderten Präfixes bräuchte. Bis zum Ablauf des Lease ist er dann offline.

Deswegen setze ich im IPv6-HOWTO auf SLAAC, wo der neue Präfix gepusht wird, sowie er sich ändert.

Ah sehr cool, WAN geht, 2 Interfaces und 13 VLAN eingerichtet. Bezieht alles brav die Adressen. Danke mal soweit. Ist ganz schöne Sträflingsarbeit, zum Glück muss ich das nicht jeden Tag machen. Der ESXi mit dem getaggten vSwitch hat mir die Arbeit auch sehr erleichtert. Wenn ich das alles an den physischen Switches mit 1-2 Laptops durchtesten hätte müssen, wär mein Bart noch länger geworden, als er eh schon ist. Das wär ja super mühsam.

Switches einrichten wird dann auch spannend. Bin bislang getagged auf den/die Switches gefahren, aber vom Switch nur untagged weiter. Oder halt direkt getagged von der Sense auf einen ESXi. Aber da mit forbidden Tags oder wie das heisst, um überall nur mit den gewünschten VLANs wieder raus aus dem Switch zu gehen, das habe ich noch nie gemacht. Die Theorie steht schon mal, Praxis wird sich dann zeigen. Ich frag Euch dann wieder, wenn ich am Berg stehe.

Watching Live View though it seems that an auto rule is passing it back out. The src is not one of mine. I don't see anything in regards to the in direction.
