ONT Wifi Router and No WAN PPPoe
-
Dear Gurus, I am new to Pfsense. I have recently setup the internet from my ISP. Actually the wifi router is comes with Fiber SC connection and two lan ports. The PPPoe connection configured on ONT Router using the fiber sc port. My requirement is pfsense should act as gateway and all the traffic should passthrough prsense firewall, my problem is since the PPPoe connection on ONT router (WAN Ip on ONT Router) and i cannot make PPPoe on pfsense, my router has two lan ports. how can I achieve my requirement? is it possible to route all the traffic go through the pfsense firewall?

You can just double NAT with the ISP router. That's not ideal but it will work.
Otherwise the ISP 'ONT' would need to support some sort of PPPoE pass-through so that pfSense can act as the PPPoE client.

Let me on the NAT, how the passthrough will work? Because the fiber connect on ONT directly and i have only option to connect lan from ont router to pfsense.

It would have to have some sort of bridge mode. I have no way to know what it can do though.

ISP -- ONT -- ISP Router 192.168.1.0/24 -- pfSense WAN Port
with static IP 192.168.1.5/24 --- switch --- lan devices- On the WNA settings you should uncheck the privat IP addresses and all should be fine
- On the ISP no DHCP
- On the pfSense DHCP for LAN
PPPoE will be done at the IPS router and you will get the benfit on top that you can use multicore at the wan from
the pfSense and that means, more cpu cores = more wan queues and so more or higher wan speed!
