How do I get Tomato to use IPv6

2

2

My ISP provides native IPv6 and it works great when I connect directly with my macbook to the ethernet port. I get a ipv6 assigned and all IPv6-only sites works great.

But when connecting through my Netgear WNR3500L router (running Tomato Firmware v1.28.7496-Toastman) IPv6 enabled sites won't work.

How would I configure my router for this to work? I don't have any "assigned/routed prefix" which the "native ipv6" settings in Tomato require, nor did I receive any settings from my ISP (it just worked).

If your service provider is TekSavvy: You need to register for IPv6 Services by going to www.teksavvy.com/ipv6 They will supply you with new login address and credentials Next, you need to configure Tomato Router Bssic->IPv6 Select DHCPv6 with Prefix Delegation Prefix length:64 Set up a DNS such as 2620:0:ccc::2 and 2620:0:ccd::2 and 2001:4860:4860::8888 Accept RA from WAN To correct a Tomato Bug where random forward routes are generated Administration->Scripts->[Wan Up] Paste the following: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/nvram get wan_iface/accept_raip -6 route flush default dev nvram get wan_ifaceecho 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/nvram get wan_iface/accept_ra

Most of this is not likely to be relevant. The only important bit is to turn on DHCPv6 prefix delegation. That will get IPv6 passed through the Tomato router to end devices. – Michael Hampton – 2019-05-19T18:21:26.993
