      Hi all,

      Have a problem causing me to go round and round. I share two internet connections with several companies in my building.  Have PFSense 2.01 on a pc, each company has their own vlan / subnet with PFSense handling all routing. My primary fibre connection (16 IP's) is using a BT modem, PFSense does PPPOE.

      One of the companies uses mutliple PPTP connections (up to 16 of them) and there is this problem with PFSense that more than one connection will not work (a little embarrassing since their free BT router can handle it). I tried setting up an IPSEC vpn between pfsense and their watchguard firewall in their head office (even offered a bounty) but could not get it to work, suspect the IT dept at the other end not understanding VPN. I figured I could install a second firewall on one of the public addresses but my ISP does not allow multi PPPOE connections on their line. How can I add a second firewall in this scenario? I thought of having an intervening router between the modem and PFSense doing PPPOE in bridge mode but I can;t find one that actually does that! Most just pass through PPPOE. Is there any way of having a draytek on one of my WAN public addresses routing via PFSense whilst getting over the multi pptp problem?

      Thanks

      Graham
