IPv6 (downonthestreet.eu)

I noticed by accident that in my home network IPv6 is not functional, so I decided to fix that, and started studying about IPv6.

I have an opnSense firewall which connect to my ISP port as WAN, and then the LAN. The point is that o do not get a GUA on my WAN, but I get it if I connect directly a pc to the ISP port....

The opnSense seems to be configured properly, and the ISP itself do provide IPv6 as I can get a GUA address when I connect my Linux laptop to the ISP router, so I am not sure...

Anybody has any hints?

Look at route64 and setup a tunnel then. I'm using it after switching from Hurricane Electric's IPv6 tunnel broker. Setup is nearly identical except you can use the Wireguard tunnel for route64 and there are less blocks and issues compared to HE's offering.

My backup connection is cellular and my primary is ftth but only IPv4 support.
