PFSense IPv6 configuration questions (from ISP perspective)

$

Hi, all.

I finally managed to get IPv6 to work on my new PFSense firewall, but I don't entirely understand precisely how this works from a higher level ISP perspective.

For understanding, I am on VDSL so I'm using PPPoE.

My WAN interface has a link-local IPv6 address and my LAN interface has been assigned a public IPv6. I can ping this LAN interface (after opening a firewall rule to allow it) and everything seems dandy. But that seems strange.

Why do I not have an IP on my WAN interface?

And furthermore, it seems my DHCP6 server isn't doing anything, because it shows no leases when I look it up, but my devices on my LAN have IPv6 addresses too. Are these being assigned directly from the ISP or am I reading something wrong?

I have a good knowledge of IPv4, I work in an IT related role, but I want to delve into IPv6 to learn more about it.

Thanks.
