Do you need help setting up IPv6 on your computer when using a Comcast internet connection?
I need help with IPv6 on OPNsense for Comcast. My router is set up so that DHCPv6 works over my WAN connection and assigns an address. The LAN side uses a "track interface" method, which means the router watches the WAN to find its own address. This setup shows two types of addresses: one link-local (a type used only on local networks) and a regular IPv6 internet address. My Windows computers can connect to each other fine using IPv6, but I cannot reach websites that use IPv6. When I try to ping Google.com from my router, it works. However, when I send an IPv6 packet from my home PC to another PC in the same house, they get a connection, yet I still don't have internet access on my own machines. The problem is just that my computers can only get internet via regular IPv4, not IPv6. Any thoughts? Update: Changing "router advertisements [LAN]" to "Assisted" fixed the issue. Leaving this setting here if it helps someone else later.
You know that I actually forgot how to set up a router for IPv6. My ISP used to give me a small group of IPv6 addresses, but now there seems to be this kind of IPv6 NAT sometimes. I have always just turned off IPv6 and told most people to turn it off because many people see random performance problems with all that stuff. Is there any reason you would need to use IPv6?
