I'm looking to add an ADSL2+ as second WAN to my home pfSense.
Unfortunately, the ISP (MNet) only offers FritzBox routers,
which have multiple issues (e.g. SSH session timeouts with
the official recommendation to use keepalive as a workaround,
which for me is an red flag indicating potential further
brain damage). I'd rather just use an ADSL2+ modem -- however,
I'd like to be able to use IPv6 with these (MNet already
offers experimental IPv6 support).
Anyone aware of a decent ADSL2+ modem which can handle some
1 MBit/s upstream and some 18 MBit/s downstream, as well as IPv6?
If I remember correctly the Draytek Vigor 120 modem does this, you can
then connect via ethernet to your pfSense installs. I believe it
supports a multitude of options for termination.

If you can get the modem to just relay PPPoE you should be able to
terminate PPPoE onto your pfSense WAN. This should also prevent your
disconnecting sessions as there will not be any state kept in the
device. (closest thing to bridge mode)
The gear is a bit more expensive but I have very good experience with
the gear over the years. They ship with above average RAM in the devices
so the state tables don't time out as fast.
The current IPv6 2.1 builds can do DHCP6 which is probably what your ISP
uses.
