  • Once again, the format doesn’t work for me when the main topic is about a fad that nobody talks about anymore.

    It worked in South Park for a long time because they had a relevant episode a week or two after it happened. In Futurama, not so much.

    The Bender story was pretty neat though. They could have left out all of the NFT stuff and focused just on the Bender plot and it would have been a significantly better episode.


  • So what’s the big fuggin’ problem here? That Intel won’t use the term “recall”?

    Would you say the same thing about a car?

    “We know the door might fall off but it has not fallen off yet so we are good.”

    The chances of that door hurting someone are low and yet we still replace all of them because it’s the right thing to do.

    These processors might fail any minute and you have no way of knowing. There’s people who depend on these for work and systems that are running essential services. Even worse, they might fail silently and corrupt something in the process or cause unecessary debugging effort.

    If I were running those processors in a company I would expect Intel to replace every single one of them at their cost, before they fail or show signs of failing.

    Those things are supposed to be reliable, not a liability.

    Off the top of my head, why did you set the prefix to 0x1? I was under the impression that it only needs to be set if there are multiple vlans

    I have multiple VLANs, 0x1 is my LAN and 0x10 is my DMZ for example. I then get IP addresses abcd:abcd:a01::abcd in my LAN and abcd:abcd:a10::bcdf in my DMZ.

    However, I get a /56 from my ISP wich gets subnetted into /64. I heard it’s not ideal to subnet a /64 but you might want to double check what you really got.

    what are your rules for the WAN side of the firewall?

    Only IPv4 + IPv6 ICMP, the normal NAT rules for IPv4 and the same rules for IPv6 but as regular rule instead of NAT rule.

    My LAN interface is only getting an LLA so maybe it’s being blocked from communicating with the ISP router.

    If you enable DHCPv6 in your network your firewall should be the one to hand out IP addresses, your ISP assigns your OPNsense the prefix and your OPNsense then subnets them into smaller chunks for your internal networks.

    It is possible to do it without DHCPv6 but I didn’t read into it yet since DHCPv6 does exactly what I want it to do.

    I’m no expert on IPv6 but here’s how I did it on my OPNsense box:

    • Activate IPv6 on your WAN interface (probably already done)
    • Activate IPv6 on the LAN interface, use Track interface on IPv6, track the WAN interface and choose a prefix ID like 0x1
    • Activate DHCPv6 under Services -> ISC DHCPv6 for your LAN interface (you can shorten the range like ::eeee to ::ffff, you don’t have to type the full IP)
    • Activate Router advertisments under Services -> Router Advertisments for your LAN interface (set Advertisments to Managed and Priority to High

    After that your DHCP server should serve public IPv6 addresses inside of your prefix and clients should be able to connect to the internet.

    A few notes:

    • Don’t forget to add an allow rule for IPv6 on your LAN as well if you only have one for IPv4
    • Repeat the steps above for every VLAN you have, always use a different prefix ID
    • You don’t have to use NAT rules with IPv6 anymore and can just directly add a regular firewall rule to WAN with the target IP and port and you are done
    • Make sure you don’t have any of the various “Disable IPv6” toggles enabled, there’s a few in the firewall settings and general settings for example
