23.1 Legacy Series / Re: Multi-WAN GW Failover when using PPoE and 4g/LTE as WAN

So, I have a similar setup. I suspect you haven't fully completed all the steps to set up a PPPoE connection.

First, to get PPPoE working:

• The DSL Modem that was previously managing the PPPoE connection had to be switched "Transparent Bridging" mode.
• A new connection needed to be made under "Interfaces: Point-to-Point: Devices" using the username, password, and settings that the DSL modem was previously using to connect to the ISP.
• Under "Interfaces: Assignments" the "Network port" for "WAN" needed to be selected as the new pppoe device instead of the physical port.
• Under "Interfaces: [WAN]", IPv4 Configuration Type twas changed to PPPoE and IPv6 Configuration Type changed to none.

After that, you can turn on gateway monitoring for the the automatically generated gateway and include it in a group.

23.1 Legacy Series / Restart/Redial PPPoE when it goes down.

« on: March 17, 2023, 03:39:35 am »

I have my ISP modem set up for transparent bridging with OPNsense managing the PPPoE connection to my DSL.

Occasionally, this connection will stop passing traffic. Internet will stop working and gateway monitoring will show 100% packet loss, then eventually gateway down, and removing it from the active gateways list on the home page. OPNsense does not attempt to reset/reestablish this connection and I typically have to reboot the ISP modem to restore my internet connection.

Is there a way to configure OPNsense to attempt to reset this connection automatically when the gateway does down?

General Discussion / Re: Intra Fw connection drop after 30 sec

So I'm having the same problem between LANs on the SAME firewall.

I have only one OPNsense box.

My SSH sessions to my server on LAN 2 kept freezing up after about 30 seconds. At first, I thought my server was lagging, but problems went away the moment I was on the same LAN.

The only thing standing between LAN1 and LAN2 is this OPNsense box.

That being the case, OPNsense must be killing the Intra-LAN traffic after about 30 seconds.
