      My ISP does not support IPv6 Prefix delegation (yet), but I can request as many IPv6 addresses (/64) as I want.

      Is there a way to pass through those IPv6 address requests from my server zone to the WAN, so the server zone can get public IPv6 addresses? For all other requests firewall rules should still work.

        If your ISP is behind the times I would just get a tunnelbroker tunnel and a /48 from hurricane.

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

          Exactly!!! There is zero reason to dick with a incompetent isp when you can just get your own /48 and tunnel it to your pfsense in like 2 minutes setup time.

          While also being able to set PTR on any ipv6 in your /48, lets see your isp let you do that ;)

          Also if you happen to move isp - you still maintain the same /48 you just bring up your tunnel on the new isp.

            @johnpoz @Derelict Is there another way? Can I do something with Virtual IP maybe? (If I don't want a tunnel broker)
