Pptp on OPT?
-
Using 1.2.1, I've got two ADSL modems with PPTP bridge mode. The first is on the WAN interface.
Is it possible to run PPTP for a second WAN connection on an OPT interface?
-
No. It is in 2.0.
-
Cool. Since 2.0 is not production ready for another 6 months, I will need to consider another option.
Thanks

Seems pptp on a WAN interface is not common with other appliance. So it is either raw freebsd or openbsd - tinybsd or flashdist. Is it difficult to port the pptp code from 2.0 to 1.2? Is it something that could be incentivised with a bounty?

Not in this case, there are significant underlying changes in interface handling that would require considerable effort to back port, it would require so much effort for little return that I don't think anyone would be interested even if you were willing to put up a large bounty.
I suggest waiting a few months, once it's beta it should be relatively safe for production use in most scenarios where it's required, or if you can, do the PPTP on the modem and have it pass through the public IP.

Thanks for the detail.
I can't push the public IP back from the ADSL modem, but it might work if run that WAN interface on NAT until 2.0 is in beta. Pinhole all the ports back to the pfsense router. Not perfect but workable.
