      Ok I think we have a fix for this, we are testing it internally. It should be in the next 25.11 build.

      BTW. Anything new in this matter?:

        Not yet. The issue is more complex that initially thought. Enabling the pppoe encapsulation there prevents it crashing out but it never matches any traffic.

            Thank you very much for this. Is there a possibility of a 2.8.2 for this?

            I think j I found the patch here, so I can manually add to system patches I guess.

            https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repository/2/revisions/63566d0b473c6399376de6b97e0e06b9a6fb2550

            Also on the MPD thing, it has its own build in tcpmssfix, which I learnt about when examining the scrub changes made for if_pppoe, as you guys replaced that feature with scrub for if_pppoe. From what I can tell it behaves absolutely fine on if_pppoe, but when doing some tests on iperf3, I was seeing some weird results with mpd on the negotiated mss whilst its tcpmssfix was enabled. Which I think is why if_pppoe fixed my fragmentation issues. This becomes irrelevant anyway as if_pppoe is the future. :)

            Since its not a kernel change, perhaps it can be added to system patches package for CE? I have added patch manually, but it will be useful to others.

              Yup might do that if the next CE release looks too far out.

                @stephenw10 Had a brief ISP outage and if_pppoe auto recovered. :)
