Twin IPV6 setup: one HE.net, other PPP from ISP

Ok, I switched it to PPPOE. Now I have:

  • pppoe-wan with an IPv4
  • pppoe-wan6 with a different IPv4 and an IPv6
  • wan6_6 visible only in the gui, as virtual dynamic interface

Is this what you meant? I'm pretty sure my previous setup did not waste an IPv4 address just in order to have an IPv6 one, too. Also, br-lan does not get an IPv6 prefix assigned to it, even after adding ip6class, and IPv4 forwarding is still shot.

I guess I need to study the current documentation a bit more in depth:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/ipv6/start

Hmm, sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand your point. Could you clarify your suggestion?
All I get from those command are details of the he.net tunnel, not what I was looking for.

If it can't fetch the correct interface automatically see the full dump below.

ubus call network.interface dump

Check:

  • Upstream interface prefix and routes
  • Downstream interface prefix assignment
ip a; ip r; ip ru
uci show network; uci show firewall
sysctl net 2>/dev/null | grep -e forward 

Verify there're no errors and collisions:

  • Physical interfaces <-> Logical interfaces <-> Firewall zones
  • Routing tables + Routing policies
  • Forwardings

I've tried a few things:

  • changed wan6 to use '@wan' instead of 'eth0.2' (this made the spurious second IPv4 disappear)
  • added ip6assign to lan
  • added ipv6 '1' to wan (no, auto isn't enough with ppp, according to the docs)

This way I have br-lan with an ISP-assigned prefix, br-guest with the one from he.net and... forwarding is still shot (and dyndns isn't getting updated :confused: ). Fun fact, this is now almost the same config I had with 15.05, only visible difference is the separate stanza for "lan_dev" and the MAC.

These are the current configs, hopefully they'll be clearer to you than the output of "ip" is to me:

Switching the commented values, changes the config from working to broken and viceversa.
I'll try again when I have a chance, thank you for your help.

To troubleshoot, you should first check runtime configuration.
When you see an error, dig in persistent configuration.
Otherwise you can't verify that the runtime configuration is applied properly.

Problem is, I can't read it fluently.

We also can't since you haven't posted it.

That is a problem that can be easily solved, though :slight_smile:
In a few moments I am going to change configuration, copy the runtime, go back to current working config and post it here.

It seems, you need to add default route for the prefix.
Check to be sure:

ip -6 r; ip -6 ru

Which prefix, the one coming from he.net or from the ISP? Incidentally, he.net works nicely alone and the "default gateway" box is ticked in both "he_1_nyc" and "wan6".

By the by, I find it puzzling that he.net does not get updated. There is still a single IPV4 WAN so the dynamic update shouldn't be confused. The RX counter at zero means IPv4 endpoint is wrong, as I rediscovered recently.

Anyhow, here is the information you asked for.

The routes are there, let's test them:

network_flush_cache
for NET_IF in lan wan6
do
network_get_ipaddr6 NET_ADDR "${NET_IF}"
traceroute6 -m 10 -q 1 -s "${NET_ADDR}" example.org
done

Since I can reach HE via ipv6 from my desktop, I updated the endpoint manually (I'll figure out why it doesn't work another day) and took the liberty of adding he_1_nyc to your "for" loop. Next moment I can try to debug this is in a few days, in the meanwhile here is the output:

Other fun facts:

  • ping both ipv4.google.com and ipv6.google.com from the desktop and the router: they all work
  • Thunderbird can't get through to gmail
  • from the desktop ipv6-test.com is dead slow and fails most of the IPV4 tests. If I try that with HE only, it is quite fast and gets 19/20 score.
  • ddns is throwing curl 7 errors when updating duckdns (the config for this service is unchanged with respect to my "HE-only" IPV6 setup).
  • the VPNs I have on the NAS cannot connect (servers are listed by IP, not name)

Wednesday or thursday I should have time for more tests, hopefully.
Thanks,
Andrea.

Your routing and firewall seem normal.
But the missing responses in traceroute output makes me suspect connection stability.
I suggest to test the connection with mtr.

This is confusing because IPv6 tunnel broker works via IPv4.
The tunnel broker might work better because of low MTU:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/package/network/ipv6/6in4/files/6in4.sh#L76
So, try to reduce the link MTU down to 1400 or 1300.

Also replace ISP-DNS with some public DNS-provider:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/dhcp_configuration#upstream_dns_provider

Thanks, I will try your suggestion of a lower MTU and provide the mtr output after some more testing.

I was indeed using Google's DNS also for IPV6 when I ran the tests but even switching to those provided by the ISP doesn't help.

To verify that MTU has changed, see:

ip link show

In fact, major DNS-providers, such as Google, Cloudflare or Quad9, often work better than ISP-DNS due to higher fault tolerance and compatibility.

New round of testing:

  • I set MTU to 1300 for wan6 and the HE tunnel
  • Using Google's DNS servers for both IPV4 and IPV6
  • Again, had to manually update the tunnel endpoint, else RX would remain stuck at 0.

No changes in outcome: only HE tunnel website works reliably.

Any ideas?

When talking about reducing MTU, I meant the logical interface wan and the layer 3 device pppoe-wan.

Whoopsie, my bad. Still, even with pppoe-wan at 1300, the connection doesn't work, traceroute has similar gaps and the HE tunnel endpoint must be manually updated.

I ran a different test today: I shut down the HE tunnel and the guest side of the switch, then I reconfigured the wan to enable IPV6 (still with MTU 1300 for IPV4) and tried the traceroute test: from the router, it looks "patchy" just like earlier tests.

From the desktop, I can ping openwrt.org both IPV4 and IPV6 with reasonable times but a simple apt-get would fail on some sources and ipv6-test fails to load completely. The ISP still says "reachability is only guaranteed for a few institutional sites", so it's obvious they don't give a flying f* and I should just give up ;(

Thanks to those who helped :slight_smile:
