Hello.
Got an issue I haven’t been able to fully work out.
in every case, I lose access to the router (everything from ping to winbox/ssh) on every single PPPOE connection EXCEPT for the last one to authenticate/connect.
Is there a way to fix this? Every other route goes blue.
All connections are on the same ISP
All connections have the same gateway
ISP seems to use return path filtering which is triggering this - nothing I can do about that
Everything on the internal network is working properly, connections are balanced properly, forwarded ports work correctly (no matter what connection they come in on, when set to all ppp) but any access to the router itsself (icmp/winbox/ssh/snmp) all fail
I’ve been considering doing some truly disgusting hackery of the mangle rules just to work around this issue but i really, really don’t want to go down that path.
I’ve tried disabling the default route on all pppoe clients (ends up with no access remote access - woohoo for safemode)
I’ve checked ip forward settings, rp filter isn’t something I can set locally to make a difference.
I could create a loop with a device on-site and forward ports to it and back into the router but that’s… crazy.
