IPv6 Problems

I've had IPv6 working for over a year, but I've recently started having issues getting IPv6 connectivity.  Location is Portland, OR.

Setup:  Hitron CODA56 Modem ---> pfSense ---> LAN

I see a normal-looking DHCP6 transaction, and get assigned an address for the firewall as well as a /64 delegated prefix.  Then I can monitor the pfSense WAN interface and see IPv6 traffic going out, but no replies to any outgoing packets, not IP6 or ICMP6.  Nothing.

I have already tried power-cycling the modem followed by rebooting the pfSense firewall.  The DHCP6 transaction looks completely normal but it appears Comcast isn't routing my IPv6 traffic at all.

How do I troubleshoot this?

jhg6308 Good morning! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to reach out to our Xfinity Forums Support Team. I'm happy to help you get in the right direction today. Can you please see if you are able to connect when you bypass pfSense?
