PureFibre ipv6 own router issues

On opnsense or pfsense you can run “/sbin/rtsol -a”, or replace the “-a” with the interface name for the WAN (igb0 or whatever it is). If you do this every 20 minutes or so it should keep the route active.
You need to send a periodic router solicitation every so often to keep the route alive. Telus aren’t obeying the RFC on this and as far as I’ve seen only a couple of other ISPs in the world do this, so it doesn’t work with most routers out there except the newest Telus provided ones. If you can add a cron job and build a binary that runs on your router fixing this is pretty easy.
Edit: this only applies to some Telus neighbourhoods. I think most don’t have this behaviour but it does happen in north van and parts of Surrey I think.

I can run CRON jobs in Opnsense but am not to sure where to get started with this. Do you have any resources you could point me to so I could fix this issue?
