Hi All.

My server's jail need outgoing internet connection for Let's encrypt OCSP Staple, but connect problem IPv6 only.
Detail

ifconfig

Code:
wan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

  3. wan0: "Physical interface to VDSL modem", attached IPv6 address by net/dhcp6 and got from above interface 'ng0'.
  4. 10.0.0.2 / fd00::ffff:a00:2: HTTP server Jail's address.
  5. 10.0.0.1 / fd00::ffff:a00:1: DNS server Jail's address.

3rd test: NG.
4nd test: OK.
5th test: NG.
.....


But tested NG and next test NG still if both long interval time.
I assume queue issue, but haven't in PF rule.

IPv4 100% OK as below.
Code:
# curl http://108.177.125.147
<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<TITLE>301 Moved</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H1>301 Moved</H1>
The document has moved
<A HREF="http://www.google.com/">here</A>.
</BODY></HTML>


I tried to turn on forward but problem still.
Code:
# sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
# sysctl net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1


Connect pass 50%, so assume outgoing rule path completed.
Can help me hint/troublehoot/debug if possible?
Thanks all very much.

Hi All.

I found root cause, it is NAT's address rotate (round-robin)
Check PF's NAT status by pfctl -sn as below shown
Code:
nat on ng0 inet6 from fd00::ffff:a00:2 to  any -> (wan0) round-robin

And interface wan0 attach TWO IPv6 address, Local fe80:... and Global 2001:...
Connect fail when use local address.

Solution: add :network:0 into wan0 interface -> wan0:network:0
Let NAT use global address only.
Either :network or :0 work file, combind (in the case) work fine also.

But one question exist.
pf.conf(5) wrote:
Code:
:network  = Translates to the network(s) attached to the interface.
:0  = Do not include interface aliases.

Question:
1.Is not Local fe80:... attached address?
"Attached" meant external source like ISP given?
2.Is Local fe80:... aliases?

Thanks all :D

On the subject of ':0' the latest version of the man page says:

Code:
           Host names may also have the :0 option appended to restrict the name
           resolution to the first of each v4 and non-link-local v6 address
           found.


The fe80 address is a link-local address.

Hi Kristof Provost

I got it :D
New case below ( ipv6_privacy="YES" added in /etc/rc.conf)
Code:
ng0: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1460
        inet6 fe80::21ce:dd50:1703:cd73%ng0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 
        inet6 2001:b011:a480:47e2:21ce:dd50:1703:cd73 prefixlen 64 autoconf 
        inet6 2001:b011:a480:47e2:1d0:82a3:51e4:ff7 prefixlen 64 deprecated autoconf temporary 
        inet6 2001:b011:a480:47e2:104d:a54e:c923:8a29 prefixlen 64 autoconf temporary 
        inet 122.117.86.253 --> 168.95.98.254 netmask 0xffffffff 
        nd6 options=23<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>


And ping test result below
Code:
# ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:b011:a480:47e2:104d:a54e:c923:8a29 --> 2404:6800:4012:1::200e
16 bytes from 2404:6800:4012:1::200e, icmp_seq=0 hlim=53 time=14.528 ms


NAT take non-deprecated temporary address only, correctly.

Thanks you very much :D
