      Hello,

      I have cable ethernet network 192.168.1.0. In this network i have AP (orinoco ap2000) with address 192.168.1.50. PPPoE server is set to 192.168.2.1 and he give IPs to client like 192.168.2.96 etc..

      My PPPoE server works great - clients can login, they have internet, no disconnection - all works ok . They must login it of course via PPPoE [users don't have IP etc from DHCP - i disable it. Users must be in my MAC Access List but this is a weak security :( ]

      But…if any user set own IP/gateway/mask manually - at this moment this user have internet WITHOUT PPPoE (via normal wireless ethernet connection).

      The question is: How i may force users to use PPPoE - only way to access my WAN interface in router (pfsense) ? - That means - how i can cut standard IP connections from my wireless clients WITHOUT pppoe ?

      Additional question:
      PPPoE tunnel are encrypt in some way ? (whole transsmision, not only login/password). With PPPoE enabled i can WEP encryption disable ?

      Sorry for my english :/

      Please help me - I give more information if you want - please ask.

      Best regards from Poland

      Kane

      ps. good work with pfsense - in my cable-eth network PFSENSE3 work great  (before this i have m0n0wall)

        Try outbound NAT manually - only for 192.168.2.0/24
        PPPoE is not encrypted  tunneling -  encrypted is PPTP..

        Też pozdrawiam z Polski ;-)
