pfsense IPV6 setup

Family member has signed up with Toob, I'm planning on replacing the stock router with pfsense CE. My understanding is that under the WAN settings on pfsense, IPV6 prefix delagtion is 56? They're just on the standard package, so CGNAT etc. which based on their usage requirements, shouldn't be a problem.

Any other areas to be mindful of re pfsense and Toob? I've pre configured the unit with Quad9 DNS and such.

I may setup a site to site VPN so I can manage the device, we'll see. It's an Atom E3845, so hopefully suffice for what they need. Probably only circa 10 devices on the LAN and Wi-Fi to be provided by Deco S4 TP-Link units as I have spare.
 
If it's anything like opnsense then you could install tailscale to it for access that way. Or if you're on an IPv6 connection yourself you'd be able to access the the pfsense device on its IPv6 address.

Delegation is a /56 and that's how I have mine configured on the WAN interface. From what I remember RA is disabled by default, at least on Opnsense so I had to enable that for devices to show an IPv6 address.

Many thanks, it seems to be working ok atm. I'm using tracked for V6 config on the LAN port, haven't setup DHCPv6 though, but may do.

Remote access is working fine as I have an ipsec VPN configured S2S setup.
