      Hi, Our ISP will provide an PPPOE(router) connections. Does this work if pfsense is behind to this setup?
      ISP modem/router(PPPOE w/ own public IP) >> Pfsense(WAN) >> LAN.
      Currently my pfsense has portforwarding/NAT and vpn setup, will this be affected? We plan to change ISP due to some reason. As of now, all I've tested is only when the ISP provide us a public IP. Please advise. ty

      2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 (amd64)

        @ed123 Please see this: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/interfaces/interfacetypes-ppps.html Also, I would encourage you to upgrade v2.4.5.

          @NollipfSense thanks for the reply,, Base on the link,does it mean that we use the pfsense as our isp router for PPPOE?

          from: ISP modem/router(PPPOE w/ own public IP) >> Pfsense(WAN) >> LAN.
          #as far as I know, they just provide a local IP generated from the ISP router for pfsense to use,if im not mistaken.

          to : ISP(physical Lan) >> Pfsense "configured with PPOE"(WAN) >> LAN.
          #bypassing the ISP modem/router( with PPPOE config) and configure it directly to pfsense
