      I'm not sure about the cause of this error, but it is possible to define multiple PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP links on the same physical interface without creating vlans. Would that work for you?

        I'm not sure how this would work. If I have 2 DSL modems connected by a switch to a single interface how can I define which pppoe session goes to which modem.  Also, I don't think MLPPP will work in this instance as there is no way to bond the pppoe seasions but it would allow for load balancing I think.  I am curious how other people are doing MLPPP without using up many physical ports on the pfsense box.

          MLPPP is something that must be supported by your ISP.

          Multiple PPPoE sessions over a single physical interface is something that must be supported by your modem. I think if you have a vlan capable switch and two modems, then using vlans is your only solution (other than a dedicated port on your pfSense box to each modem.)

            I'm on TekSavvy in Canada, MLPPP definately supported. It seems as there is a bug in pfsense that prevents a pppoe session over vlan.

                Try with snapshots later than this post.
                If it still does not work please post the 'ngctl list' output.

                  I've been using mlppp with teksavvy on pfsense 2.0 with vlans for months using several different snapshots, 32 and 64-bit, embedded and full. No problem connecting here. Try posting screenshots of your ppps page for us to have a look.

                    The latest snapshot worked.  Thanks.  Now the only problem is I can load some web pages but not others.  Seems like really simple sites like google load fine but others do not.  Ping works fine, 0% packet loss.  Any suggestions?

                      That's usually an MTU problem. Try decreasing mtu on the WAN until all sites load. According to CMB, if you reduce it to 1350 and things still don't work then you likely have another problem.

                        check to see if you have scrub rules or your MRRU/MRU settings are wrong.
                        Also try disable tcpmss fix from that MLLP bundle.
