Thank you, it is only a cosmetic issue. I am glad that the PPPoE itself still works as it was quite difficult to do this originally. :)

I think we might be conflating issues here. The OP claims that they have a static *IPv4* address assigned by PPPoE, and that the WebUI is showing a different *IPv4* address. This seems quite different from seeing only a link-local IPv6 addresses (which may be a separate issue).

Yes, sorry - wrong thread. There was another issue with someone seeing only a link-local address in the dashboard widget.

Does this help:

If I ping the correct public IP address I get a reply.

How do you know that the reply is coming from your router and not someone else's? What do you get if you visit https://ip4.me/ ?

One reason is that it is a fixed IP address.  It has been the same address for a few years.

The PPPoE is done by Opnsense.  The Huawei is just a modem that connects home  ethernet network to a VDSL telephone line.   

Opnsense dashboard showed  the correct public IP address before the upgrade to 24.7

The IP address is now shown as 195.166.130.254   which does not respond  to pings from  a device connected to my home network. 

If I ping the correct public IP address I get a reply.

I have version 24.7_5 running on a Qotom Intel processor hardware.  It has connected to the Internet via an  Huawei HG612 modem using PPPoE VDSL.  The connection itself works fine however:

The Dashboard shows the public IP address as 195.166.130.254 which is incorrect.

Please could this issue be corrected.  The router responds to pings to the correct public IP address assigned by the ISP which happens to be fixed.
