The rule "deny ip from any to any not antispoof in" will block all IPv6 traffic to locally set up IPv6 addresses on interfaces. However, traffic coming in to the very same IPv6 address from outside (i.e. a different machine) passes without problem.
This was already described in this thread back in 2006 along with a workaround: http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org/msg127596.html This issue should probably be mentioned in ipfw(8) if it is not fixed. >How-To-Repeat: Note: Addresses are anonymized. 1) Set up an interface with public IPv6 address as well as automatic link local address. E.g. inet6 fe80::xx:xx:xx:de48%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet6 2a02:180:xx:xx:xx:xx:de48:0 prefixlen 64 2) Set up following IPFW2 rules ipfw flush ipfw add deny ip from any to any not antispoof in ipfw add allow ip from any to any 3) Set up some service on IPv6, e.g. HTTP: netstat -f inet6 -a Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) .. tcp46 0 0 *.http *.* LISTEN .. 4) Try to connect to local http server via public IPv6 address (blocked, times out) wget 'http://[2a02:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:de48:0]' --2010-07-16 20:04:39-- http://[2a02:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:de48:0]/ Verbindungsaufbau zu 2a02:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:de48:0:80... fehlgeschlagen: Operation timed out. Erneuter Versuch. .. >Fix: If not a solution, at least a workaround is possible by restricting antispoof rules to IPv4 where they work just fine: 1) Set up modified IPFW2 rules: ipfw flush ipfw add deny ip4 from any to any not antispoof in ipfw add allow ip from any to any 2) Try to connect to local http server via public IPv6 address (works as expected) wget 'http://[2a02:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:de48:0]' --2010-07-16 19:52:45-- http://[2a02:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:de48:0]/ Verbindungsaufbau zu 2a02:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:de48:0:80... verbunden.
