New at this and Struggling with PPPoE routing

[marjohn56]

Hi Majohn

That gateway adds itself, I wasn't quite sure why.  I've deleted it a few times but it comes back on its own.

Turned off the DHCP server deliverately as I currently have this box on my network along with the Vodafone router and if this is offering DHCP it breaks everything else ;-)  Once I have it routing the Vodafone router is history and this will be the only DHCP ;-)

Thanks for your help with this I will give it a go tonight.

Then in that case you will need to manually set gateways and DNS servers in the client PC, and you cannot just add a secondary IP address else it will continue to use the primary DNS and gateway

Hopefully your new config will work and I can just go back to a nice simple arrangement.  Only did this so that I can look at the config in response to a question without plugging and unplugging etc.

Really wanted as basic as I could get and that was how I first had it and it didn't work :-(  With luck if I can get packets to travel I can be really simple again...  will let you know how I go.

marjohn56:  Many thanks for your help.  My opnsense firewall is now up and running :-)  Worked perfectly happily with Netflix this morning so I judged it okay for the family use.  If it is not then I will probably not survive my arrival home tonight.
