Hi all,
I just got a gigabit fiber line installed, I have been trying to get the PPPoE connection setup in OPN but I am not having any luck.
I've followed this guide, accounting for the differences between pf and OPN: https://bidetly.io/2020/03/20/centurylink-fiber-on-pfsense/

But all I see on the PPP diags:
2021-02-25T10:54:45 ppp[57901] [opt1_link0] PPPoE: Connecting to ''

Is there somewhere that would provide more info from logs or has anyone got this set up successfully?

So, just figured it out.
Anyone that encounters this, make sure your PPP interface is set to the VLAN201 interface, not the physical interface.

Do you think you could show more of your config? I can't get mine to work with CenturyLink with the same thing in the logs.

Attached screenshots of my config.

Thanks!
