Hi all. I’m wondering if anyone has any insight on changes going at XFinity.
Setup: Netgear CM1000 Modem -> OpnSense Router -> Several Managed Switches (FS and HP).
It seems like they’ve done maintenance that went to IPV6 only. That breaks everything I have configured (Unbound DNS, VPN, etc). Are they phasing out dedicated IPV4 addresses for residential? Or is this just a personal issue?
I work from home. They sent me a notifications saying they were going to be doing maintenance yesterday so I went into the office.
Come home, things are still out. I restart the modem, says I have internet on the lights, but not working on WiFi. I go on my PC, some stuff is working, but others aren’t. My OpnSense dashboard doesn’t show an IPV4 address in the WAN. On the PC I tested the theory with “ping google.com -4”. Nothing. Regular pings work because it gets an IPV6 for popular services. I connected my laptop to the modem directly to reach the WebUI where it also said IPv6 only.
If anyone has a way of getting IPV4 back on my WAN, I’d appreciate it.
In general, I disable ipv6 so it only grabs ipv4. I would try that. They may have enabled something that will not issue an ipv4 if an ipv6 is issued.
