Modem Access

As you have noticed, after setting your WAN interface to PPPoE, you don't have access to your modem/router webUI.

We have to add an interface and enable outbound NAT for that interface. Let's fix that.

Navigate to Interfaces -> Assignments

Interface

If your WAN interface has selected Network port: pppoe0(igc0).

  • Select next to New interface the igc0
  • Click
  • Click 💾Save
  • Click on the newly created interface

modem-interface-create

  • Check Enable Interface
  • Check Prevent interface removal
  • Description: Give it a meaningful name (eg. ISP)
  • Uncheck Block private networks
  • Uncheck Block bogon networks
  • IPv4 Configuration Type: Static IPv4
  • IPv4 Address: Use an IP from the modem/router of your ISP (eg. 192.168.1.150 / 24)
  • Click Save
  • Click Apply Changes

NAT

Navigate to Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound

  • Select Hybrid outbound NAT rule generation
  • Click Save
  • Click Apply Changes

  • Interface: ISP (or the name you gave before)
  • Source address: LAN net
