      I think i'm very unlucky. I have the same problem that PPP doesn't work on vlan so i first tried:
      @PiBa:

      While its running run on console "ifconfig igb1.11 name igb1_11" then from webgui edit the pppoe interface to select the right interface to run on. That should afaik allow for internet access. Until reboot that is..

      But this doesn't work for me, PPP still was down. So I tried the procedure below:

      @MAW:

      Choose Config.xml file.
      e) Place cursor in text window. Go to the Web browser's menu to choose the "find" content facility. Search for each occurrence of "interfacename.vlannumber" in config.xml and change the . to _ then save the edited config.xml file. For example igb0.900 to igb0_900
      f) Reboot PfSense.
      g) System came back up without issue and connected the PPPoE connection immediately. Job done. 15 minutes work max.

      And my firewall was stucked in a bootloop: it starts, answer me 5 or 6 pings then restart…. I was able to connect to SSH and restore a previous configuration in this time frame (i think max 5-6 sec). Firewall reboots correctyl and now I have the same problem: my PPP VLAN doesnt works.  Finally i've tried this:

      @xbipin:

      directly upgrade to 2.4.2 dev from 2.4 and it will be fine, just skip the 2.4.1 update

      And my firewall was stucked at boot, saying it cant find /boot/kernel/kernel.
      :'( :-X

      EDIT: Added IMG error of 2.4.2 from SSD and error from USB (tried 2.4.0. and 2.4.2) USB was the memstick img.gz file and was written by rufus

      EDIT2: FreeBSD 11.1 AMD64 Memstick boots fine EDIT3. Nope, it stucks just later.
      I've changed USB and now 2.4.2 starts!

          Goto the pfsense web gui firmware settings page and select Dev branch rather than stable then check for updates from same place and it will show 2.4.2 Dev directly which you can upgrade to but if your already on 2.4.1 then editing the config file to rename the dot to _ is the only option to get internet working

            Thank you but i make this and not worked for me, i have an APU2C2 and change my re2.6 to re2_6 and not working, pfsense says me to reorder and config the lans when i restart, i have an Movistar Imagenio config, with 3 VLANs, VoIP, Internet and TV  :-(

            I try to download 2.4.0 and restore my config 2.3.4 i hope this working for me ….

              Now i have installed 2.3.4 version and all is working again, i suggest to pfsense team change 2.4.1 version to "development" or testing, because a lot of people here in Spain for example have this config and if update to 2.4.1 –-- boommm !!!!

                @virusbcn:

                … a lot of people here in Spain for example have this config ...

                You know, the majority of internet users in Germany (still) use Deutsche Telekom AG (or one of their resellers) as their provider. Everyone here using pfSense with DTAG has this problem … we need PPPoE on VLAN7. At least if you don't let your modem handle the VLAN untagging. And you cannot change THAT remotely...
                Great, isn't it?

                ...but we would need the finally working IGMP Proxy backported into the 2.3 Branch as well for T-Entertain (IP-TV) but nobody's listening.  :'(
                Well, that's only the majority in a small enclave called T-Entertain in Germany.  :o

                      Hi guys,

                      I upgraded by mistake to 2.4.1 and have the same problem.

                      Can I install 2.4.2-dev from a USB stick and it'll keep my config?  I can't find a way to do an offline upgrade without an internet connection.

                      Thanks!

                        Any chance to release 2.4.2 any time soon? This bug prevents me to upgrade to 2.4 series in many places.

                          Here you can follow the 2.4.2 development… They could release the 2.4.2 in 2 weeks ora maybe 2 months. Nobody can't tell this to you. Undoubtedly they could postpone some minor bugfix to next release and test as it is for stabilty, then release since that BUG is critical.

                            I've upgraded to 2.4.2, as expected I had to reset pfsense again and recover a pre-2.4.1 config backup to get it booting.
