it's the correct spelling as in the man page and the example config file
Nope. Look again. We are not psychic, so we don't know what you _actually_ have on your machine but instead can only go by what you report. You _might_ have it spelled correctly on your machine, but your initial e-mail has it misspelled. The fact you have it spelled correctly in the previous e-mail leads me to think it is spelled correctly on your machine, and you simply mistyped it in the e-mail.

how should i simplify, should i just remove the fe80::/10 ?
I simply have the following: pass out quick inet6 proto icmp6 allow-opts pass out quick pass in quick inet6 proto icmp6 allow-opts pass in quick on $wan inet6 proto udp to port 546 no state This may be overly permissive for your needs though; but since you are having trouble, it makes sense to at least try something that blocks less traffic because you may be blocking more than you should. People have gotten away with blocking ICMP for IPv4-without really knowing what they are doing-but ICMPv6 is a lot more important to IPv6 and will likely cause more problems. If this "magically" fixes your problem, then you can iteratively block more traffic until you've reduced your attack surface while still allowing for things to work properly. Unfortunately, there is not much more help I can provide. I see you had trouble in the past and even consulted Roy Marples (https://roy.marples.name/archives/dhcpcd-discuss/0002604.html). If he and Stuart Henderson cannot help, then I have no chance. Perhaps this is just a problem with Zen like Stuart alluded to. Good luck!
