Somehow everything seems to work, until I realized that my ISP was making a DoS with multicast. It is pretty much what was described years ago here: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/62591/igmp-issues-causing-isp-to-perform-multicast-dos-on-my-pfsense/7. But the solution of not using FreeBSD seem weird. So dug a lot learning about Multicast IGMPv{2,3} etc in the process. Here is an abstract of what I found:

Which version of FreeBSD is this (uname -a) ?

There has been some fixes in the multicast area from time to time, and 
you should make sure you've got all the fixes incorporated in the kernel

-current branch of FreeBSD.
