Once this is done, you should see that your machine has now acquired a nice and shinny new routable [[IPv6]] address. In fact, it will often acquire more than one depending of the RA mode you have selected and the privacy modes activated by the client machine.
Yeaahhh!! Victory!

=== Check the firewall rules for outgoing from LAN ===
If I remember correctly, pfSense will by default create the outgoing rules for the LAN (especially if you used the wizard). But just in case, go into the "Firewall -> Rules" page and check that you have at least the following entries:

Happy with your new [[IPv6]] address and firewall rules, you then fire your browser and try to go somewhere when it suddenly becomes a "Houston we have a problem" moment...
=== Fix the PPoE DNS problem ===
The problem is that the PPoE stuff is still a bit flaky in 2.1.2, and although the PPoE negotiation itself is fine, it seems pfSense will often lose the ISP DNS settings (this seems to be a timing related issue of some kind, so sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. You can even get into situations where the DNS setting is there and then it suddenly disappear!).
Arghhhh!!!!!
Now, an easy way to fix this is to force pfSense to use specific DNS servers. This is done in the "System -> General Setup" page. Ideally you should set your ISP DNS server in there and/or some public ones like Google (8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS (208.67.220.220).
