This is a short guide on getting a pfSense 2.0-[[IPv6]] and the 2.1 beta to connect to AAISP as a dual stack router and firewall. If you want more detail, pretty pictures and a full step by step guide, then post on the Discussion page and I'll consider it.
 
Also, there is now a guide for more recent versions of pfSense (2.1.2+) that is also available here: [[Router_Router -_PFSense PFSense]]
 
= pfSense with IPv4 and IPv6 =
=== IPv6 ===
* Set the [[IPv6 Configuration|IPv6 configuration]] type on your PPPoE interface to DHCPv6
* Set the [[IPv6]] on LAN to <your /64 range>::1 (it doesn't have to be 1) and the mask to 64. ege.g. 2001:8b0:fc5c:6a01::1.
* Services -> DHCPv6 Server/RA. Set Router Advertisements to Unmanaged
 
If you have additional interfaces then simply add another /64 on your AAISP control page and then set the [[IPv6]] address to <another one of your /64s>::1. Then set RA to unmanaged as above for that interface
 
Unmanaged really means use "radvd" iei.e. auto addressing based on subnet and MAC address. There are several other options and these are described nicely on the page but unmanaged gets you up and running quickly.
 
Add some [[IPv6]] rules - ege.g. on the LAN interface: "allow from LAN subnet to any".
 
Test with something like "ping6 -n www.google.com" (adjust for OS)
