Open balenaEtcher on OSX

Proceed

-> seems not to work :(

Dualstack

DualStack & Prefix Delegation with OpenBSD

OS: OpenBSD 6.5

Hint: wide-dhcpv6-20080615p9 was not working fine. So, i gave a try with dhcpcd

Install Package

pkg_add dhcpcd-7.1.1p4

Configure dhcpcd

/etc/dhcpcd.conf
ipv6only
noipv6rs
duid
persistent
option rapid_commit
require dhcp_server_identifier

# disable running any hooks; not typically required for simple DHCPv6-PD setup
script ""

# List interfaces explicitly so that dhcpcd doesn't touch others
allowinterfaces em1 vlan108 vlan110 vlan112

interface em1
    # the following two lines tell dhcpcd to do router solicitation
    # itself. don't use them if using "inet6 autoconf" (slaacd)
    ipv6rs
    ia_na 1

    # request prefixes from the provider to use for downstream networks
    ia_pd 2 vlan108/1 vlan110/2 vlan112/3

Enable and Start Service

rcctl enable dhcpcd
rcctl restart dhcpcd

You sould now get a ip address on your public interface. adjust the pf.conf accordingly for ipv6 !
