PPPOE clients cannot make connections to the internet
-
Hi, I'm running pfsense 2.0-RC1.
- I have 3 interfaces (LAN (em2) - 10.1.1.192/26, WAN (em0) - 10.1.1.56 and DMZ (em1) - NO IP).
- I'm using a PPPOE server configured on the DMZ network, where a host is successfully logging and being assigned a public internet address (x.x.x.x). (The P2P link is x.x.x.x->172.31.0.1)
I have created wildcard rules on ALL firewall interfaces (Floating, LAN, WAN, DMZ & PPPOE Server) that allows any IP to talk to any IP on any port. (I wouldnt want to run this way, but I couldnt get outbound connectivity for my pppoe client).
* * * * * * none Enable Outbound Traffic for PPPOE Clients
When pfctl is enabled, my PPPOE client with a public address (x.x.x.x), cannot communicate on the internet. Packets dont get past pfsense.
When pfctl is disabled, my PPPOE client CAN communicate on the internet. (So I know routing and everything is OK).
While using tcpdump on each interface (and pfctl enabled), I can see packets arriving on poes10, DMZ (em1 - PPPOE Session packets), however, I cannot see any packets leaving on WAN (em0).
With pfctl enabled, I can successfully SSH into the host from the internet.
I'm thinking that this is not right.
For info, a pfctl -s all shows this:

Is this a bug, or have I got something wrong?

You have to allow traffic on the pppoe interface under firewall->rules so clients can communicate with the server.
Also you have to allow traffic on the interfaces to reach the pppoe server. -

Also you have to allow traffic on the interfaces to reach the pppoe server.I'm not sure I follow you. The PPPOE client can make connections with the PPPOE server, and gets assigned a public internet address.
With pfctl enabled, I can communicate to the PPPOE client (via the public internet address). However the PPPOE client cannot initiate connections to hosts on the internet (eg: connecting to a HTTP server).
With pfctl disabled, the PPPOE client CAN make connections to hosts on the internet.
With pfctl enabled, I have a rule on EVERY firewall interface, which is a global allow (all ports, all hosts, all protocols), and still the PPPOE client CANNOT make connections to the internet until pfctl is disabled.
Did you mean something else, or am I not understanding you?

Can yo ushow screenshots of your rules?
Aslo the relevant system log and blocked packets from filter log? -
