MDNS Repeater IPv6

[Remington]

Hi,

mdns repeater is pretty old and doesn't support IPv6.
Found that at least iPhones won't find their printer, if they are connected via dual stack.
Had to disable IPv6 on my printer to get it working again.

Is IGMP Proxy an option to forward mdns over IPv6?

Anything new on this? Came to try OPNsense, to try Tayga, but without basic support like this will have to go back to pfSense.

I have to use an external NAT64 device (I use Jool), but I have to have mDNS, so my wifi devices can find my ipv6 only printer subnet.

Hi,
no new news from my side. Found that my printer won't on IPv6 in any case.

But how is pfsene handling this? May be this can be used here too.

pfSense uses Avahi which supports ipv6.

I thought for some reason it didn't work with ipv6 only networks.

Will have to look into this more. Unfortunately I just spent yesterday afternoon switching back to pfSense.

Hmm, sorry did not see the IPv6 bit... I'll take a look and see if it can be made to work with IPv6

I have multiple ipv6 only subnets for printers and servers. My WiFi devices on a separate subnet need mDNS for printing.

So without working mDNS in ipv6 I can't use OPNsense, which is a shame because I was impressed with everything else.

Surprised that Avahi is not available.
