      Hi all,
      i'm a PfSense half-newbie and i'm using 2.0RC1 version updated because i have to use Layer7 and traffic shaping.
      I need to configure a PPPoE server w/o Radius server.
      This is my network configuration:

      WAN: public IP (1.2.3.4)
      LAN: private IP (192.168.1.1)

      I've created a PPPoE configuration:

      Interface: LAN
      Subnet: 24
      No. PPPoE users: 10
      Server address: 192.168.10.1
      Remote address range: 192.168.100.1

      I've also created a test user with pre-assigned IP (192.168.100.150).

      This configuration works as PPPoE. The user (with Windows 7) invoke PPPoE server using Microsoft PPPoE client and Windows 7 receive the IP (192.168.100.150) and DNS (the public DNS and the private DNS -192.168.1.1-).
      But, strange but true, the gateway.

      What i have to do ?

        I've tried to make a PPPoE server with PfSense 1.2.3 (as described here: http://opuntia.biz/2011/04/02/configurazione-di-un-server-pppoe-su-pfsense/).
        I've tried too to make the same steps in PfSense with no result.
        I suppose that the problem is on 2.0RC1 firewall or Nat rule.
        Do you have experience with PPPoE Server working and PfSense 2.0RC1 ?

          There is an open ticket for the PPPoE server in 2.0 right now because it's not 100% working. The firewall rules aren't properly added yet. It's a known issue. (And there are other threads already open for it as well)
