How to advertise ULAs as well as GUAs?

I want each of my IPv6 subnets in OPNsense to have a GUA subnet configured and ULA. GUA is working fine, but I can't find where to configure ULAs.

I've just moved over from pfSense and in there I added the ULA subnet in Services -> DHCPv6 Server and RA -> LAN -> Router Advertisements and then the Subnets section.

I can't seem to find that in OPNsense. Anyone know?

You need to configure the ULA as virtual IP, then ULA can be distributed by DHCP6.

Thanks but I'm not using DHCPv6, only SLAAC. Any way to do it with SLAAC?

Sorry, I meant RA / SLAAC, not DHCP6...

1. Create virtual IP
2. Activate "allow manual configuration" for local subnets
3. Configure RA (Services > RA) for each subnet (I am using assisted mode)
ULA should now be distributed by RA.

Thanks, all I had to do was add the virtual IP as a /64 without doing anything else and then it worked. Not intuitive but working fine :)
