      My IPv6 tunnel through TunnelBroker works fine and followed the instructions from the pfSense wiki: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/interfaces/using-ipv6-with-a-tunnel-broker.html

      Do I also need to also enable "Enable IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling" on the System -> Advanced -> Networking page?
      If so, I am assuming I put the IPv4 gif0 address?

      Thank you!

        No, that is not needed. It's for passing IPv6 encapsulated traffic from your WAN through to some other device behind the firewall, so that the other device can handle IPv6 routing.
