Colin Percival made it a bit easier (IMO)[1] it is meant for AWS EC2 but worked for me with my ISP as well. The guide you submitted probably will work everywhere.

- kenada 6y agoThanks for the suggestion. It turns out, I was wrong. dhcpcd is being imported into base for FreeBSD 13. One big limitation with dual-dhclient is that dhclient doesn’t support setting the delegated prefix on the interface. You have to parse it out and generate a rtadvd.conf with the prefix. I ended up switching from dhcp6 to dhcpcd since the latter is actually maintained and seems to work better with my ISP (hopefully …).
