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 Available network ports the igc0
• Click ➕Add
• Click 💾Save
• Click on the newly created interface

• Description: Give it a meaningful name (eg. ModemAccess)
• IPv4 Configuration Type: Static IPv4
• IPv4 Address: Use an IP from the modem/router of your ISP (eg. 192.168.1.150 / 24)
• Uncheck Block private networks and loopback addresses
• Uncheck Block bogon networks
• Click 💾Save

NAT

Navigate to Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound

• Select Hybrid
• Click 💾Save
• Click ⤵️Add
• Interface: MODEMACCESS (or the name you gave before)
• Source:
  • Type: Network
  • Network: Your LAN’s network address (eg. 10.1.1.0 / 24)
• Destination:
  • Type: Network
  • Network: Your modem/router network address (eg. 192.168.1.0 / 24)
• Translation Address: Interface Address
• Click 💾Save
• Click ✔️Apply Changes

You should now have access to your modem/router webUI!
