PPPoE on VirtIO ``vtnet`` interface fails to pass routed traffic
Added by Steve Wheeler 3 months ago.
Updated 22 days ago.
Plus Target Version:
26.03
Affected Architecture:
amd64
Description
In some virtual setups traffic from internal hosts may fail to pass when the WAN is PPPoE on a vtnet NIC in 25.11.
This is a regression since 25.07.1.
Hitting this requires a combination of virtual host version and setup that has yet to be determined.
This is fixed in 26.03 development snapshots but it's unclear exactly what fixed it. There have been a number of commits to both vtnet and the tcp stack that may be applicable.

- Status changed from Confirmed to Feedback
To workaround this issue either use a different virtual NIC type (em, vmx) or disable hardware off-loading on the physical NIC in the hypervisor.
For example:
ethtool -K enp1s0 rx off tx off tso off gso off gro off
pfsense 25.11

LAN can't route out via WAN. pfsense has using wiregaurd and openvpn.
Source Address FROM WAN is normal now, but Source Address FROM LAN not normal work.

- Subject changed from PPPoE on vtnet NIC fails to pass routed traffic to PPPoE on VirtIO ``vtnet`` interface fails to pass routed traffic
