      Just looking for clarification on the optimical MTU for the HE 6in4 tunnel interface in pfSense.  I have a DSL connection so I would think that I would need to drop the MTU at the HE side config from 1480 to 1472.  Would I also set the HENETv6 interface in pfSense to 1472 as well?

        The MTU should be set to match the tunnel, but there is an open bug about this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8049

          If your IPv4 MTU is 1492, then your 6in4 is 1472, You can set it on the interface in pfSense and then also set it on https://tunnelbroker.net/ under the advanced tab of the affected tunnel.
