IPv6 only - Wizard does not allow IPv6 addresses
«

I'm going through the process of learning IPv6 and I decided to setup a dedicated OPNsense virtual machine to do some routing / firewalling.
I ran up the VM and installed OPNsense 16.1.8.
On the CLI I am able to assign the IPv6 addresses (see Selection_074).
I DO NOT have any IPv4 addresses assigned, I do not want to use IPv4 addresses.
I can then open a web page to the LAN address and the wizard appears.
When I run the wizard, whenever I try and use IPv6 addresses, it tells me they are not valid.
Attachment Selection_072 shows the DNS server fields not accepting IPv6 addresses.
Attachment Selection_073 shows that it does not accept an IPv6 address for the WAN interface, it did not detect that the WAN interface already has a static IPv6 assigned.
Without running the wizard, the firewall works and IPv6 traffic is routed, it's just that the wizard appears to be IPv4 oriented, which is not always going to be the case.

Hi there,
Yes, there's a ticket for that:
https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/79
Wizard has been a low priority item for more than a year, but we want to rework/replace it some time during the 16.7 series in preparation for 17.1.
Any help here to get that in sooner is appreciated. Otherwise, skipping the wizard as you suggested is a common workaround.
Cheers,
Franco

Thanks for the comment in the issue tracker. I agree that IPv6-only should be possible with that as well. How much the wizard is going to change is another issue, but let's wait for 16.7 and then get to it.
Cheers,
Franco
