== pfSense ==
Follow one of the many guides out there. It can be tricky to work out which interface is which, so plug one in, configure it at the initial console based interface setup stage, give it an IPv4 address from your LAN range and set the mask. Then try and ping it after putting another address from the range temporarily on a PC or whatever. If it doesn't work then move the LAN cable into another NIC and see if that works. Once LAN is sorted, fire up a browser and point it at the LAN address and carry on the configuration from there. Username: admin, password: pfsense. I recommend you change the password, move the web GUI port to another port and enable SSL.
The default firewall settings do not allow inbound access at all (for any protocol). Previous version of pfSense 2.1.2 also used to just discard [[IPv6]] traffic whatever its direction, but this is not true anymore and it should now be processed similarly to IPv4 (firewall rules, etc). However, this is not always the case when doing an upgrade, so it is worthwhile to check that setting.
=== Setting up the WAN ===
Go to Interfaces -> (assign), then look for the WAN interface (if I remember it should be there by default. If not just click on the "+" button).
Select the network port you want the WAN interface to really use and click save.
Then click on the WAN interface name (i.e. click on "WAN" if you have called it like that) and enable it.
=== Updating the LAN settings ===
