Description

IPv6 connectivity through pfSense appears to be blocked when directed through a limiter (accessed under Firewall -> Traffic Shaper.) The applied traffic shapers work properly when IPv4 traffic is directed through them.

Attached is a screen cap of the limiter output when attempting to access IPv6 and IPv4 resources simultaneously.

History

#1 Updated by Alex Fox 11 months ago

This bug applies to 2.1 dev from June 28th as far back as June 20th. Prior to that dates build I was not using 2.1 and cannot comment.

#2 Updated by Alex Fox 11 months ago

On review of the screenshot it appears that the limiter is not assigning a bucket for IPv6 traffic denoted by "BKT 0". Additionally it appears that the limiter is not identifying the source/destination of IPv6 traffic properly as denoted by "::/0" for source and destination for each connection. IPv4 traffic has "0.0.0.0/0" for either source or destination and an IPv4 address for the other.

For informational purposes, this bug is still present. If a limiter is applied on an IPv6 rule, the traffic no longer passes.
