According to the System/Advanced/Networking page, there is an option to prefer IPv4. However, it says this: "if IPv6 is configured and a hostname resolves IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, IPv6 will be used."
I do not have IPv6 configured -- all my interfaces are statically configured. The only IPv6 I see is the automatic link-local address assigned to each interface. Is that enough to convince pfSense that it is "configured"? The symptom I'm seeing is that one of the remote NTP servers I sync with returns both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, and NTP is preferring the v6 address which does not work here. If I check the box to enable the "prefer IPv4" it does indeed select the IPv4 address. So something is misleading pfSense to thinking v6 is enabled, at least for NTP. _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
