        PPPoE always gets a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255

        Gateway doesn't really matter for PPP connections the way it does for others. Though I haven't seen it give out 0.0.0.0 before, it should be giving the "server address" value to the clients for their gateway.

        Does it actually work? I don't recall seeing any other complaints about the PPPoE server.

            excuse my english,
            i have the same problem, works ok with captive portal, but with pppoe server no default gateway asigned to the pppoe client (0.0.0.0). DNS Works OK indeed, ping to google.com resolves ok to IP address, but cannot reach or explore.
            NAT ok, Firewall Rule for PPPoE ok.
            Tested on 2 Pfsense Servers 2.0.1 Release.
            Need Help

            PD: maybe should i try the patch commented before?
