Hi there,

I have a ESXi host with OPNsense installed serving as my router connected to an Asus RT-AC88U in AP mode.
The issue I'm having is I can connect to my GPON/ONT with WAN set in DHCP mode fine but it provisions a CG-NAT'd IP.
When I switch to PPPOE and use my PPPOE credentials that work on my Asus router (not ISP provided router) it connects fine.
But when I do the same on OPNsense I just get "connecting..." from the logs.
Strange thing is, I had OPNsense running in this exact scenario for 2 years prior, just about 4 months ago I decided to switch back to my regular router and decomission my ESXi host, I've now redeployed everything but seem to be stuck here.
Has anyone else dealt with this issue?
ISP is saying PPPOE connectivity is being rejected from their end but like I said I've gotten this to work before and it does work on my regular Asus router.
