      You guys actually have VDSL2+? No jealousy here! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Not to bad for a little village in the hills. Real fiber would be nicer, but that's not going to happen anytime soon here.

      Edit: this is with a current link uptime of 6 weeks.

          Today the vigor will arrive and I am prepared to set it up ;)

          One question: if it runs as a modem via pppoe and the connection is initiated by the pfsense. How can you dial in the webinterface of the modem? (The wan Interface has no ip in subnet of modem)

          Do you have one vlan (7) as Gateway vlan and another as a Management vlan with static ip in the vigor subnet?

            One method:

            https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/interfaces/accessing-modem-from-inside-firewall.html

            Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
            A comprehensive network diagram is worth 10,000 words and 15 conference calls.
            DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
