After running a mikrotik router for a long time and fighting with the IPv6 configuration, I gave up this week and started using pfSense as a test. Within about half an hour (after figuring out the USB boot option wasn’t possible with my machine) I was up and running better than ever!

WAN interface config

General Configuration

• IPv6 Configuration Type: DHCP6

DHCP6 Client Configuration section

• Advanced Configuration: not needed
• Use IPv4 connectivity as parent interface: enabled
• Request only an IPv6 prefix: enabled
• DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation size: 56
• Send IPv6 prefix hint: enabled
• Debug: disabled
• Do not wait for a RA: disabled
• Do not allow PD/Address release: disabled

LAN Interface Configuration

General Configuration

IPv6 Configuration Type: Track Interface

I ran into an issue while configuring an F5 SSLVPN for IPV6 last night, and googling it didn’t return anything of use.. so here we are again!

This is for the IPV6 LAN Address Space option, under Client Settings in the Network Settings tab under… don’t hold your breath…

Access ›› Connectivity / VPN : Network Access (VPN) : Network Access Lists : (yourprofile)

I know they’re complex, but the configuration’s getting hilariously convoluted to find sometimes.

Had an issue with people attempting password resets against one of my wordpress instances, when it’s something I’ll literally never require.

Since it’s running on Apache, I decided to use mod_security to implement, blocking and alerting with ease.

SecRule REQUEST_FILENAME "wp-login.php" "id:'400002',chain,deny,log,msg:'Password reset form attempt'"
SecRule ARGS:action "@contains lostpassword"

This is really simple, and nukes the ability for people to reset the password - and easy to remove if someone does have to do it :)

Noun

As in the opposite of benefit. Because using drawbacks is bad; similarly ‘pros’ and ‘cons’.
