  • I still haven’t figured out how to make a firewall rule with slaac on pfsense, with an ISP that hands out addresses at random. It’s my understanding’s slaac is the “right” way to do things, not dhcp and reservations.

    Granted, it’s been a minute since I tried so I don’t remember the issues, but as I recall, when ipv6 prefix changes, device gets new IP (and it seems not just the prefix part. I can get the firewall to register IPs into DNS and use a dns based firewall rule, but unbound restarts and blows out its cache when a device joins the network. And there another part to it but it’s all gone fuzzy.





  • Yep the real challenge is understanding when it’s fucked vs when it’s slightly off kilter and a professional can give it a stern look and fix it, but with most things these days it’s always a “well, we can get you a new module, but it’s on back order; it’ll take 6 weeks to come in, maybe buy a new widget”.

    In lieu of nothing, there’s UV lights for drinking water that might fit the need that are reasonably reliable… or maybe just a binge of bigclive opening things up might give the key for cracking that UV light. good luck!
