How to create alias for current IPv6 prefix

[direx]

Hi,

I want to write firewall rules for IPv6 and I need the delegated prefix from my ISP (WAN interface) in the rule. I think saving the current prefix in an alias would be the best option, but what's the best option to do that?

Having the same problem. I know with pfSense there's no solution. Really hoping opnsense has a work around as it seems like a more flexible platform. This is basically a requirement to use IPv6 on a home network if you want to host any services behind the firewall.

The solution is to use an ISP that gives static address allocations, alternatively use a Hurricane Electric tunnel. It's static, gives you a /48 prefix and costs nothing.
