        If it's possible there is probably someone already using pfSense with your ISP. I would try to find someone who has already tried this. What is your ISP?

            Hmm, they seem to have operations in a number of countries. Many of them do require a VLAN though. Plenty of people using pfSense in various places. Does your connection have something more specific? A service name maybe?

                But does the particular service you are subscribed to have a name that might give better search results?

                    @stephenw10 so there is absolutely no way to force the PPPoE client to change it's timeout?

                      I don't know because I've never seen an ISP that required it, I've never tried to set that value. I'm still not sure it would help.

                      If there is a way to set that I'd expect it to be in the mpd conf file.
