@HC1337 im still learning, can you post screenshots of the settings which have to be done? Like relay mode thing, RA thing etc
 
you said we have to disable IPv6 assignment length.
 
none of the images are loading :( please send me on telegram @nishingame Thank you so much.
 
ok somehow zoomed and saw it. I did the settings and devices are receiving ipv6. But please tell me what you were saying about ipv6 assignment length and RA thing.
 
It's just that the devices lose IPv6 after a bit, it is kinda annoying.
 
For now I am just reconnecting them, I don't really have anything mission critical right now, so I haven't bother looking much into it. Do let me know if you find anything though.
 
What PD value do you get from Jio? Switch off DHCPv6 and set RA to Assisted (in pfSense) or Relay (possibly means pass through) to check. You do not need DHCPv6 when you have a /64 or larger PD at least with my router..completely different one I agree but the principles of these router/firewalls are the same.
 
Jio just gives a /64 on the LAN side and /128 on the WAN side, so I don't think any further subnetting will be possible.
