What is the status on Dual Stack Lite support? According to the wiki at https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/ipv6.html I assume it is still work in progress? Any ETA for full support?
The roadmap at https://opnsense.org/about/road-map/ mentions "Improved IPv6 support" for the release coming in January 2019. Does this maybe include "Dual Stack Lite"?

DS-Lite is not part of our code yet. Initial work was done, but has not been finished yet.

We try to make this clear by not misleading people to say "DS-Lite support" anywhere in our roadmap. :)


Cheers,
Franco

Thanks for the update. I really like this project and vision. OPNsense is my future firewall / router of choice. I will keep an eye out for this.

DS-Lite seems to be still bleeding edge. I had to retire my "high end" Asus router because of this. In my research I found exactly one (sadly closed-source) router which does fully support DS-Lite today. I could pay extra fees to my ISP to get a full dual stack, but I refuse to pay for legacy tech (IPv4), so DS-Lite it is for me.
