So I was trying out FreeBSD as a DSL router the last few days (+ DSL modem, only PPPoE on FreeBSD), with both ppp(8) and mpd5(8), which was successful. I also got DHCPv6 prefix delegation (IA_PD) working, which I advertised with rdadv to clients, but the FreeBSD router never got a v6 GUA on the WAN interface.
After a couple hours of digging (as well as usage of tcpdump), I found out the ISP (Vodafone Business) only delegates a /56, but no /64 on the WAN, neither by SLAAC or DHCPv6 (IA_NA).
Turnes out they expect you to allocate the first /64 of the /56 to the WAN interface yourself, which of course isn't documented anywhere online. This is easy enough if you have a static v6 prefic (which I do), but impractical with a dynamic v6 prefix.
Really shows again and again that using IPv6 could be easy, but ISPs just have to be horrible, each in their own twisted way. 🤷♂️🤦♂️

@mms @brnrd I think it currently can be a great FreeBSD server, but not a (FreeBSD) workstation. It's doing great with SmartOS, too.
I'm going to try openSUSE Leap for a comparison.

@mms @brnrd ok, I performed some tests:
Ethernet works
The video card seems to be working with the latest drm but produces lots of glitches and video playback of 4K contents generates a lot of cpu load and lost frames
The media keys seem to be working out of the box but I can't hear any audio (probably something to tweak)
Suspending works, but can't resume (it seems the video driver doesn't like it)It's definitely better than the last time I tried, but it doesn't look stable, yet
