As it looks like some ISP's delegate a /64 to the router so the prefix delegation wont work it looks like a good idea to be able to configure IPv6 in relay mode. Also there is some "old" documentation for some best practices for IPv6 written by the RIPE which advice exactly what my ISP is doing for security reasons.

  For me following solution worked on FirewallA Gold (using ATT Fiber, which hands out 8x /64 ipv6-subnets if requested):

  In file "//home/pi/.router/config/dhcpcd6/eth0.conf", add 7 additional "ia_pd" entries, e.g. :

  --- eth0.conf.old
  +++ eth0.conf
  @@ -42,5 +42,12 @@
  
   # Dummy prefix delegation entry to simply get prefix to delegate without configuring any interface, evil!
   ia_pd 1/::/64 not_exist/1
  +ia_pd 2/::/64 not_exist/1
  +ia_pd 3/::/64 not_exist/1
  +ia_pd 4/::/64 not_exist/1
  +ia_pd 5/::/64 not_exist/1
  +ia_pd 6/::/64 not_exist/1
  +ia_pd 7/::/64 not_exist/1
  +ia_pd 8/::/64 not_exist/1
  
   ia_na
  
  

   

  Then restart DHCP-daemon:

  sudo systemctl restart system-firerouter_dhcpcd6.slice

   

  The requested networks are then automatically assigned to the bridge-interfaces (br0, br1, etc.).
