      Those are all the steps executed like the guide suggests.  Did I miss something?

      Yes I didnt complete the DHCP part in this iteration.  I just want to get IPv6 functionality from pfSense before I add clients to the mix.

        Let me look at it.  In the meantime you might as well go request a /48 in case it takes a few minutes.  You'll need it for your LAN(s).  Unless all you'll ever have is the one LAN.

                You need to create a gateway for 2001:470:1f0e:d8e::1

                Then add an IPv6 static config to the OPT1 interface you assigned to the GIF tunnel.

                Set it to 2001:470:1f0e:d8e::2/64 with the gateway you just created as the upstream gateway.

                  You don't want it on the LAN?

                  Is your client ipv4 address in HE matching your WAN IP?

                  I gave /64 to each physical interface (except WAN) and each openvpn interface for myself.

                    I dont understand what you mean by creating a Gateway?  Are you talking about editing the gateway address for the existing 'HEIPV6_TUNNELV6' gateway?

                    Also the created interface for the tunnel is 'heIPv6' not opt1, are you referring to something else?

                      I didn't see you renamed it.  Yes, assign the IPv6 static config to your HeIPv6 interface.

                          on the gateway you have as HEIPV6_TUNNELV6 change the address from dynamic to your interface ::1

                              We just need to get the tunnel and it's assigned interface up so he can ping his ::1 at hurricane.  Then we can dole out /64s out of his shiny new /48 to his local interfaces.

                                  What did you do on the interface then?  Needs to be the ::2 /64

                                      That shouldn't be complaining.

                                      Is the tunnel up?  Can you ping6 your ::1?  It'll only work from pfSense itself.

                                            In System: Gateways: Edit gateway > gateway, I have no IP.  Its set to dynamic

                                            In my HE IPV6 interface, I have none and none for my IPv4 and IPV6 configuration.

                                            I'm still interested to know…  Is the client IP at the HE website the same as your current WAN IP?
