      I have my internet at home shared my internet to my LAN using PFSENSE.

      I have a friend somewhere miles away from me and I want to share my internet with her.

      All she got are modem (DSL), PC and a phone line, no internet subscription, here is my question, will that be possible for me to share my internet with her?

      If so, how?

        She should get her own DSL provider.

          She needs some way of getting data to you.  Your choices are:

          1. Using her own Internet connection (which takes the point away)
          2. Using a wireless link (which will require line of site and care to comply with various legal issues that can arise)

          It's probably a lot easier for her to get her own Internet connection ;)

            Well the third option would be to get access to the phoneline distributor panel.
            Patch one of the 4 lines from her to your home, have at your home an DSLAM and let her access you.
            But since i doubt that you have:
            A: Access to the distributor panel
            B: A schema of the distributor panel (good luck finding the right wires)
            C: An Access Multiplexer lying around
            It's really easier to just go the "official" way.

            (We had to go with this option for a setup in our town, but that included a lot of paperwork with the telephone company and quite expensive hardware)

            We do what we must, because we can.
