17.7 Legacy Series / Need PPPoE help - timeout after 9 seconds
« on: March 03, 2018, 03:38:23 pm »
First time using OPNSense. I used pfSense before and have two other gateways in my home working perfectly, one Asus router and the other is a virtualized Sophos UTM.
Using OPNSense 17.7.5. I See v18 is out now, but I started some months ago and struggled with this so I shelved the project for a bit. Trying to get it going again.
PPPoE won't establish connection. I've triple checked my username & password.
I get a timeout message:
ppp:[wan_link0] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds
So it seems to give up after 9 seconds.
My old Asus router gives more information when establishing a connection. It asks for PAP authentication and waits 30 seconds before giving up. This goes on a few times after which it succeeds in about 15 seconds. So my Asus seems to wait longer for PAP authentication. OPNSense gives up after 9 seconds.
How do I make OPNSense wait longer than 9 seconds for authentication? I can't see a setting for this.
Not too impressed at the moment. Don't be telling me to call my DSL provider for faster authentication. The other two gateways manage it just fine.
