PPPoeE Server with public ip address and NAT Disabled stop internet access.

[d-a-n-x]

I setup a system where PfSense acts like a PPPoE Server and give the ability to connect
to pcs to a range of a Public IPs.
Now the problems is that the PfSense make a NAT for the PPPoE IP addresses and when
i use one of the PCs connected to the PfSense i go on internet with the Public Ip Address
of the PfSense Router and I DO NOT WANT THIS.

I tried many solution:
Disable completerly Firewall (and NAT)
Disable NAT only
Configure the Outbound
Configure the 1to1 in the Nat section

But NOTHING.

Every time i apply one of theese changes i am not anymore able to go on Internet from the Pcs.

I enabled the Rip Version 1 on the Cisco Princpal Router and on PfSense and the routing
protocol is working good so i think the problem is still in the PfSense configuration/bugs?

Anyone have an idea?

I saw other posts like this to wich anyone answered.

So i hope this is the good time.

Information on the IP ranges would help.

If you're intending to use the same subnet internally and externally, look to bridging instead.

Tonight toghether a friend on the IRC Chat of pfSense we discovered that the actual version of
the pfSense is not able to route the pppoe server addresses…. and also the rip protocol used in pfsense does
not include the routing of the pppoe server addresses. So the only possibility to make the system work is
to make a static route from the Router to the pfSense with the publics ip addresses that are realesed by
the pppoe server.

For example: if the public ip address of the pfSense is A.B.C.D and the pppoe server (on the pfSense) give to a pc the public address W.X.Y.Z than it's necessary have a static route from the internet router connected with the pfSense box that looks like this

static route: W.X.Y.Z ---> A.B.C.D

Then the pc that have the ip A.B.C.D. will be able to go on internet with his ip address although the pfSense work only in NAT configuration (if NAT is disabled and there is not the static route the pc will not have internet connection).

Hope this issues will be fixed in future.

Show the output of the routing table on pfSense and give the Pppoe server configuration and an output of ifconfig command.
