Hello guys
I am trying to implement a PPPoE server which runs on my LAN interface
So far the server runs googd, when I dial from clients they get connected
troublefree.
My problem is sth.else. I am using PPPoE to avoid access on the internet
from unauthorised people, but nothing can prevent them from chainging their
IP to one of the PPPoE pool. Once they assign such IP, they can get connected
without needing to dial to the PPPoE Server.
How can this be resolved?
Thank you, Toni
Obviously you’ve got an IP address assigned to your LAN ethernet interface on MT.
If you remove that address, there won’t be a gateway for the non-PPPoE kids to route data through. Just remember to have a Local-Address assigned to the PPPoE-Server.
Alternatively, if you Need IP-networking on the LAN interface, create a static mangle rule that will only forward data from a specific address (or addresses) through to the WAN.
But generally, giving the Ether that is the Interface your PPPoE is running on an IP Address is considered not cool.
Hope that helps.

Thanks krigevr, that made it.
