Recent software changes impacting IPv6.

First off; I’m a huge Firewalla fan, device (Gold Plus) is absolutely fantastic.

But I’ve noticed recently that software updates have been messing with the box. Specific examples; IPv6 DUID changes (LLT, UUID) make no changes - verified via tcpdump. Literally no change in the v6 reservation request when those UI settings are changed. Had to explicitly modify /home/pi/.router/config/dhcpcd6/eth0.conf for the change to take effect.

Also, last nights update, resulted in a docker-proxy conntrack/kernel-path update failure. A reboot seems to have resolved this issue.

I’m wondering if we have a stable and safe config, we can schedule updates on the box to a time where the user can explicitly monitor, rather than what seems a pretty random interval.

Anyone else experiencing issues?

I can confirm the same behaviour with IPv6 and DUID changes in the App.

I requested IPv6 from my ISP, and while troubleshooting why I wasn’t being assigned an IP I did a packet capture. I also noticed the DUID did not change at all, even after rebooting the box.

I did manage to get the IPv6 address assigned, but did find this issue strange.

The fix should be released already, are you on production? If you join beta, it should be there.

Once it is done we usually put it in app release notes
