Hi All.

Sorry about the english post, but I don’t speak French.

I have had my SG-2100 pfSense running on Orange in France with the fs.com Gpon SFP module for almost 2 years - it has been working flawless with IPv4.

I never did get IPv6 working on this setup in pfSense, so I still only use IPv4.

Has anyone been able to get IPv6 including delegation fully working on pfSense with Orange? If yes, any guides, hint or tips on whats needed?

I’m very impressed with you guys on this forum - how you ever figured out all these needed “mods” to avoid the Livebox is REALLY impressive.

When I did my config a couple of years ago it didn’t seem possible to get IPv6 going on pfSense due to missing DHCP options (raw) support in the pfSense DHCP6c binary. But since then pfSense has moved on from being based on BSD 12.3 to now BSD 15 which might have changed quite a few things.

So I just wanted to hear if anyone had any success / done it before me? It takes quite some time for me to test all the things due to translations, remote access (have to be sure to be able to come online again if the Orange failsafes kick in) and being a little out of my comfort zone :-)

Well, in fact only Free has a router which can be bridge-moded ;-)

Hi, yes, I have a working IPv6 setup (my WAN receives a prefix, which I then delegate to my interfaces, and I then configure a DHCPv6 server on each of my interfaces to obtain an IPv6. I've automated the management of the various options and set up a cron task to renew my option 90/11 once a day autonomously to prevent any interruptions.

Do you still need it? Could you tell me which version of pfSense you're running? I'll dump the firewall rules, my script, and briefly explain how it works if you're interested.

It's possible, currently I have a GPON-ONU-34-20BI connected to my PFSense router, the optical fiber is directly connected to this GPON which is inserted into my PFSense router on the integrated WAN card. The Livebox is in the closet (and between us, I'm glad about it!!), and I control my entire apartment (servers, wall socket, Wi-Fi, IoT, ...) with this PFSense router (I'm waiting for XGS-PON to upgrade to a higher model . The Orange WAN is in DHCP V4/DHCP V6 and my different VLANs are in static V4 and track interface to retrieve an IP delegated by Orange! All of this with an average uptime of 100 days (I only reboot the PFSense for updates) and a constant throughput of 1Gbps/1Gbps.

Can you just confirm which version of PFSense you have as well as the Livebox model you have (v5/v6)? I'm going to make a little guide on my Git next week, there's a lot of information to consider but I've configured most of the points to be modified by script so it should be pretty straightforward!

Hello Keyser.

I was interested in your post and SolunarX’s guide as I spent the two last weeks tinkering to get there as well.

In my case I reboot the router daily as I shut everything off at night so I do not need to have SolunarX’s magic to renew the option 90/11.

In the end I got IPv6 and I detailed the procedure (and all the things I wondered about when I read the forum) in « Orange DHCP conformité protocolaire 2023 - lire depuis le début du sujet » pinned post (90th page – the last right now).

It’s in french but as my pfsense is in english I mention all the options by their english names so you should be able to figure it out.

Cheers
