IDS and PPPoE - some details?

[chemlud]

Hi again!

This here is closed, apparently:

https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=3630.30

I would like to shift a PPPoE box to OPNsense, but need there IDS (and absolute reliability, as box is somewhat remote).

Is the problem only when activating IDS on WAN interface? Or is it IDS in general, that might cause trouble? Would it be an option to run IDS only on LAN interfaces? Or has nobody a real idea?

Hi chemlud,

The problem is IPS (not IDS) on WAN with PPPoE underneath. LAN is fine though. IDS in general too.


Cheers,

Hi franco!

Oooops, sorry, meant IPS, not IDS...

Will give it a try, soonish ;-)
