Hi Phoenix. I am trying to get  a PPPoE connection working with v.22.01 /latest  with EE Broadband (FTTC) using the old Zen Zyxel router in bridge mode.

I'm getting ppp0e connectivity but 'routing' traffic isn't happening.

can you possibly provide a screen shot of what you changed to get this working as it seems nothing from my home lan interface is being routed out via wan/PPPoE to EE.

thanks in advance Dan.

Anyone got any clues about this - if possible?

hi

have you got any rules defined to allow icmp on your lan/vlan in the directions required?

Hi

have you tried raising a bug against the version in the Opnsense github repo as an "issue" ?

You might want to delete the old config and start again with the msauth type instead.

I noticed a while back when i used pfSense, if you have two vpn configs which have the same target network range, neither of them work..  you should only have one vpn config which should be unique to that network range

HTH

hi

out of the box, the opnsense is configured to use 192.168.1.1 on it's lan interface.
I am presuming that you have already configured the Opnsense via the console /Txt UI when it's booted up ?

When you connect the opnsense server to a monitor, and kbd, the console UI will tell you that.

You may have to configure a static IP on your laptop as, 192.168.1.10 with a 24bit mask (255.255.255.0).

You should have a network cable plugged in between your laptop and the opnsense box. Try pinging the default opnsense IP. then browse to the UI via that ip.

Also, each time you connect a network cable into the opnsense box, the console/txt ui (HDMI/VGA) will show a link up detect on the host telling you that.

You may have also connected your laptop & Opnsense box into a network switch - ?

it should work.

hope that helps

Hi all
[this is a home install ]

I recently received a miniPC with OpnSense pre installed to replace my EE Broadband Fiber router with - firstly i did an update to the latest version.

I am new to OPNSense, but have used Linux/*nix/BSD for a long while and previously used pfSense at another company..

I've  configured a Zyxel Router (connected to the vdsl Port on the wall socker) that supports vdsl where the interface is in bridged mode, so that it can be used as a modem to allow opnsense to use PPPoE over eth1 (igc0) and eth2 (igc1) is being used for local lan.

I tested the authentication creds on the Zyxel router using factory defaults in 'routing' mode to check the creds were good before switching the vdsl port to bridged mde

My ISP (EE BB) is configured on pppoe using the credentials user/pass from the provider, I see the auth chat in /var/log/ppps/active.log, i get a valid ISP IP Address

Also configured DHCP on the lan to use the DNS IP's provided by the isp when the PPPoE chat auth happens.

my laptop is configured to use dhcp on the lan port, I created some blanket allow in/out rules from lan <>wan etc in the OpnSense firewalls UI,

i have two issues.

1. no dns resolution is happening - even tthough the opnsense box is configured as dns resolver on lan, also no lan traffic is able to resolve.

15-mbp:~ dan$ ping www.google.com
ping: cannot resolve www.google.com: Unknown host

2. no traffic appears to be sent out/back, even though i've got the automatic NAT rule from Lan <> Wan in place

does anyone have any idea what ive done wrongly  and why this isn't working "as per a regular ISP/VDSL router" ?

Yesterday PM, i configured OpnSense lan as 192.168.10.254, plugged laptop in to the lan port with dhcp, got an IP, then used the 3rd port as "tempLan" as a DHCP client, connected the opnsense box into my 'regular' home lan with the EE broadband router to get internet access, I was able to get internet traffic, so I know that the routing from the "192.168.10.0/24" net is being forwarded out eth3 -> EE Router lan (192.168.1.0/24) and out t'internet.

If my ISP issues me an RFC 1918 gateway IP, shouldn't i be disabling the Block incoming RFC1918 option in the Wan/PPPoE interface? i disabled this but it made no difference

I can't figure out whats happening - other than, the traffic from my lan isn't being sent to wan/PPPoE ..


Any help  /advice is gratefully appreciated.

Regards
Daniel.
