Hi there,

What issue are you facing in enabling it?

Also, do you plan to monitor the WAN-side or the LAN-side?

Suricata IPS mode on PPPOE is not permitted.

I tried read the posts but still not understand it.

1. Configure the WAN interface as none (IPv4 Configuration Type none)
2. Add a new OPT interface with the PPPoE configuration just like it was a WAN PPPoE.
3. Configure Suricata as IPS on WAN.
