22.7 Legacy Series / Connection drop on PPPoE
« on: September 22, 2022, 02:27:57 am »
Hi
I have an OPNsense as my home router, it has two Realtek interfaces (one for WAN and one for LAN).
My ISP authenticates via PPPoE and I'm having random PPPoE drops, the connection simply stops working, no packets are received or sent, the interface still shows as connected, if i try to reload it or disconnect and reconnect it does not get an IP address, it will only start working again after a reboot. At the beginning this was happening about once a day, now it is more rare but still happens from time to time (i would guess about once every 2-3 weeks).
I've already tried to swap the interfaces to rule out any hardware issues on the NICs.
I need to remotely access services behind this router and not aways have someone in loco to manually reboot the router.
I've already tried to find in the logs for some indication of what might be going wrong, but couldn't find anything related and also couldn't find anything similar online.
Any suggestions on how to debug this problem?
Thanks
