I’m not sure why I can’t get to the internet from my systems inside my LAN. The gateway can.

Interesting: On the client box, I can’t see any IPv6 traffic leaving the except icmp. The following demonstrates:

so pings get out...


$ sudo pfctl -sa
pfctl: /dev/pf: No such file or directory


No rules


ping the gateway:
