Rogers IPv6 Status

[foodgodessto]

Hello,

I'm wondering what the current IPv6 status is within Rogers.  A search on the forums only shows 10 topics over the past year that even mention IPv6, and there doesn't appear to be any official communications from Rogers since IPv6 day last year.

I know that Rogers (supposedly) supports IPv6 tunneling (although the only person to ask about it did not get any responses).

... solved the problem, pfSense needed a reboot to pick up IPv6 settings.

Also in the Advanced Settings --> Network Tab, "Allow IPv6" also needs to be turned on.

Thanks @coolspot, I edited the instructions to include these comments.

Couple more bits:

1. pfSense by default blocks all IPv6 traffic whether or not you have a IPv6 IP. You need to create a LAN rule that has the following settings (copy the IPv4 version):

Action:  Pass

Interface: LAN

Address Family: IPV6

Protocol: Any

Source: LAN Net

Destination: Any

Port: Any

2. Update the "make system pingable" rule in the WAN tab and set it to IPV4+IPV6.

With these settings you should be able to score 19/20 on the IPv6 tests. The only missing feature is a reverse hostname lookup.

I hope this helps others.

I just checked my system and don't see any of those.

---

I am not sure why pfSense would be passing IPv6 traffic without the LAN rule ... because pfSense should block all packets without an access rule.

Sorry, I missed "LAN" rule.  When I checked the LAN page I saw them.  However, I still don't see that "make system pingable" rule.

These settings work for TP-Link (Archer C7 in this case):

Nothing there. Please try attachment again.

Strange, I can see it even when not logged in. Anyhow:

In WAN Setup

Enable IPv6 is checked.

WAN Connection Type is DHCPv6

check "Get IPv6 prefix delegation"

check "Get IPv6 DNS Server Automatically"

In LAN Setup:

IPv6 Address Assign Type is SLAAC

HTH..

[goodboyr]

Wow....The Archer C2 settings that finally work are different.....I am now at 19/20. Thanks to all for the help!

Hey guys, quick question: I have an Apple Laptop, on the ipv6 test I get 19/20. However my Desktop Windows 10 PC will only get 16/20. What setting in Windows Firewall do I need to change to get 19/20 on the Wondows 10 desktop?

What are you missing to get that score?

[gp-se]

ICMP is being filtered through my firewall (Windows 10 built in firewall)

[Datalink]

@gp-se, use the following Microsoft Technet guide to create an IPV6 inbound rule for your Windows 10 firewall:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/keep-secure/create-an-inbound-icmp-rule

Create the rule for IPV6 only.  Do not do the same for IPV4.  

When that is done, reboot the pc.

[gp-se]

awesome, I followed that guide and it worked perfect!

@RogersDave

One thing I've noticed is that sometimes, if I briefly disconnect my firewall/router from the modem, my prefix will change.  I thought the DUID was supposed to prevent that.

tnx jk

[Datalink]

@lethalsniper, when you run the test at ipv6-test.com, what are the missing elements from the test?

As far as the XBox goes, when you drill down into the network details on the XBox, does it show both IPV4 and IPV6 addresses?  In terms of which path its using, IVP4, IPV6 or Teredo Tunnelling, that question should be asked on an XBox forum.  I suspect that the answer will be that no one knows.  The XBox decides what path it wants to use based on some criteria that assesses each path.  That criteria doesn't appear to be publicly available, at least not from what I've seen so far.  If you do find an answer to that, please post it in this forum.  I'm sure that other XBox users have the same question in mind.

In my experience, the XBox network details are unreialble - I get no sign of IPv6 connectivity in the network settings, but visiting ipv6-test.com from Edge on XBox gives 19/20.

[Datalink]

@djubre this should show the XBox One's IP address:

http://setuprouter.com/find-xbox-one-ip-address/

I'd be interested in knowing if it displays both IPV4 and IPV6 addresses.  Its kind of a sad statement that the XBox's network details, as viewed from within the XBox are unreliable.

Yes, that is where I was looking, and there is only IPv4 on that screen. Spent way too much time trying to debug why there is no IPv6 on XBox, then in desperation went to a test page with Edge, and what do you know...

[Datalink]

hmm, so it has an IPV6 address, just doesn't show it.  Seems like a bit of an oversight, personal opinion,

It appears I'm now getting IPv6 on my phone, but not yet with tethering.

I now see I'm only getting an IPv6 address, no IPv4.  However, I am able to access IPv4 sites, so at least some of 464XLAT is working.  However, tethered devices can only reach IPv4 sites.  When will they be able to get IPv6?

[HeavyMetal]

I wonder if there would be something like Prefix Delegation over LTE too.

Which would be very nice too see.

As I understand it, a /64 is provided as part of 464XLAT.
