No PPPoE connection in 25.1.5_5

[verfluchten]

It would not connect even though it is configured same as my production router. Everything is set up exactly the same, only the drive is being swapped. The same interfaces, assignments, devices, credentials, everything is exactly the same, but the PPPoE interface stays down. Also, the services widget in the lobby fails to load, then loads briefly, and blanks out with the same error message again. This is not very encouraging of the 25.1.

Please delete the same thread from General where it's not getting noticed.

i'm running several OPNsense 25.1.5_5-amd64 instances with PPPoE and zero issues whatsoever, i also perform PPPoE functionality and performance LAB testing, before upgrading production.

I'd suggest you run an audit check on your deployment...

Also you should investigate the system logs in System: Log Files: General, and add the filer=ppp with severity=notice....

an audit check

What is that?

an audit check

What is that?

Navigate to System: Firmware, and click on the Audit button -> Health

Did you also check the system logs ?

Navigate to System: Firmware, and click on the Audit button -> Health

Firmware drops down another menu. Could you share a screenshot with the path to the Audit button?

i assume your OPNsense deployment has only 1 x WAN G/W, the PPPoE interface.

This would explain the package has no upstream equivalent messages, as OPNsense needs INET connectivity to perform the complete health check.

What did you find in the system logs in System: Log Files: General, and add the filer=ppp with severity=notice....
