Hi all,
I've created a WAN interface associated with a PPoE device that's connecting to an FTTC service that's provided by a modem and connected to my N100-based mini-pc installed with OPNSense in a Proxmox VM to replace my Asus router, but it doesn't work despite the status showing as green in the interfaces overview page, as I'm unable to browse the web via the LAN. I know the WAN is connecting okay because successful authentication is confirmed in the logs, but the IP address shown isn't the correct static IP address that should be assigned by my ISP. What setting for getting the IP address should I get specifying in the WAN interface itself?
My Asus router uses the following WAN settings to successfully connect:
Connection type: PPoE
Enable NAT: Yes
NAT type: Symmetric
Get the WAN IP automatically: Yes
There is no VLAN requirement from my ISP to connect.

The IP assignment is part of the PPPoE handshake. You can as well see in the log, which IP is offered to you by the ISP.
So what does the log show regarding the IP?
And which IP do you get in fact? Is it a public one?
If you not get the IP address you expect per your contract, only your ISP can fix that.
