Hi all!
We recently got a new home internet provider. So we went from a simple dhcp on WAN. To a PPPOE connection.
I followed this tutorial: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/pppoe_isp_setup.html
But we have no VLAN, and the tutorial is a bit focussed on it. So I was a bit confused. Everything works fine. No problem. Speed is very close to promised and no heavy cpu draw. i3-7100.
But I am just wondering if this is the way it should be set up, with the new interface;ONE next to WAN and LAN.
Or if I should have just assigned WAN to the new PPPOE device.
Cause I had to change my port forwards to point to ONE as well now.
Thanks!
You should just assign WAN to the new PPPoE interface and all your port forwards would move with that.
Thanks for the confirmation. I assigned it to WAN and deleted the extra interface. At first it didnt work. Internet would not start.
I put it back to how it did work with the extra interface. Then I noticed the new interface was disabled by default. Only after manually enabling it internet would work.
So I tried again assigning it to WAN and deleting the extra created interface. And then disabling / re-enabling WAN. After that the pppoe worked like normal on WAN.
Thanks!
Just one more thing to add.
So I already changed some port forwards to the new interface I made for the pppoe connection. Which also worked fine.
But after deleting the new interface and pointing the pppoe to WAN, I noticed those port forwards where pointing to nothing.
I thought changing them back to WAN and WAN address would be enough. But they still didnt work.
Then I noticed the rules for those port forwards I changed, where also gone.
I didnt immediately see a way to quickly make a new rule for them. So I just cloned those port forwards and deleted the original ones.
This automatically made new rules.
Thanks!
