        @kristian_m Please post screen shots showing the configuration of the VLAN, The PPP connection, and any logs that you are generating for the connection.

            @kristian_m What is the device you're running for your PPPoE? UE? What type of device is that? 4d1e57c0-be20-4d22-bf18-dbd73f93fb62-image.png

                @kristian_m Well, USB support in pfSense/FreeBSD is really poor.

                Do you have any other hardware you can use?

                    @kristian_m I would suggest trying different hardware that has multiple NICs in it.

                    USB NICs on pfSense are a horrible idea, especially related to throughput.

                          I would expect it to work with the em port. How exactly was it configured?

                          Did the ppp logs show any replies from the server?

                            @stephenw10 No it won't even connect like you can see in the logs (in the photo album)

                              What is the WAN actually connected to? Some DSL modem?

                              It's possible the modem is already doing the VLAN tagging and you shouldn't have it configured in pfSense?

                                @stephenw10 it's connected to the router i have from the ISP it's set to bridge mode and uses cable tv. I could try without the vlan tag in pfsense

                                  Yup try that. It might still be tagging WAN side in bridge mode.

                                        Maybe the ISP requires something else like a priority tag?

                                            Hmm, I'd be looking for something more basic then. Like maybe the bridge port on the router isn't the one you think it is. Or something as simple as a bad cable.
                                            I would definitely use em rather than ue though. No way to know if VLAN tagging is working as expected on a USB NIC.
