      How do I register a port forward type rule for a dynamic LAN prefix for a specific host host?

        You don't need to NAT/port forwards for IPv6 since the host itself will have a publicly-routable address. Just get a good, static address on the destination server and put in a pass rule on WAN for the address/ports you want to be passed in.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          Ok, but the prefix is dynamic and CHANGES on a reboot of the router, so how do I deal with that?

            Get a new ISP that doesn't do nonsense like that.

                Make a complaint about immature native IPv6 or take a HE-tunnel…

                  aside from getting TWC to quit it, is there a way to have pfSense open a port for a specific host on a floating prefix?

                    Don't think so, no.

                    Don't know what to tell you. Use HE as has been suggested. TWCs "Native IPv6" sucks.

                    You might try calling them and asking for a static IPv6 PD.

                    You'll get "eye pee vee what?" but it's probably worth a try.
