IPv6 rule: 'add network' becomes 'add single host'
Added by Charles Orus almost 12 years ago.
Updated about 11 years ago.
Affected Version:
2.1-IPv6
Affected Architecture:
i386
Description
I tried to add a reject rule for a range of IPv6 addresses:
"Reject TCP IPv6 to type network 2a00:1450:: CIDR /32"
After I have clicked 'save' it shows me the single alias. Not a network.
This is on 2.1-DEVELOPMENT (i386) built on Fri May 18 05:21:05 EDT 2012 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p1 NanoBSD.
can you include what ends up in the /tmp/rules.debug?
block return in quick on $WIRED inet6 from any to 2a00:1450:: label "USER_RULE: TmpReject YouTube"
- Target version set to 2.1
This is probably due to an old check for the CIDR being /32 meaning single IP, but that test should not be applied on IPv6 IPs.
I can confirm it still happens on a current 2.1 snap.

It's partially fixed but not 100%
If I enter 2a00:1450:: in a firewall rule as a network with a mask of /32 (which is perfectly valid as a normal prefix length on IPv6), it does show 2a00:1450::/32 on the rule list now, but when you go back into the rule to edit again, the choice has moved from Network to Single Host or Alias.
I couldn't reproduce it here. When I back to edit rule it's set as network and bitmask 32.
OK it works correctly in the source box, but not the destination box.

Maybe this change broke something, because I have created exactly the same rule on earlier snapshots without any problems:
Trying to add a Block rule for IPv6 ICMP traffic from "Single Host or Alias" fe80::1 always results in a Network Source with fe80::1/32 for me. I'm on the latest snapshot Fri Feb 15 15:43:49 EST 2013. Tried this with multiple browsers.
