It's not my place, either, to pass comment on what free software you should decide to use, I am also none other than a happy end user (with a PPPoE service on at least one of my pfsense boxes, but with a static IP).are you saying that people with dynamic IP shouldn't use pfSense behind an Asterisk service? I've had asterisk running behind Fritz-Box for years without any trouble. I've seen the cheapest router being able to handle this like the speedports. I can't believe pfSense is unable to do this, but it doesn't matter a clear word would solve the problem for all the time and you do not have to worry again about this issue.maybe you guys do better telling those users to change there router?
Doesn't ensuring that you have Gateway monitoring enabled, and then ensuring that you have, under System --> Advanced --> Miscelleaneous --> "State Killing on Gateway Failure" enabled provide a workaround resolution for you? I'm referring to https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3181 which is referenced from #1629.
Also it's clear that bug #1629 is pushed out to 2.2, although the latest comment is for it to be addressed, or to push it out to 2.3. It's probably not good news for you, but it looks like there is a schedule for it to be fixed.... just not very quickly.
Do bear in mind that the original PPP software was designed for opportunistic on-demand dial-up connections, and isn't perfectly suited for running server side applications on the client end. PPPoE & PPPoA built on this, I guess, to allow ISPs to continue to use their RADIUS infrastructure for customers authentication as they moved to broadband / cable based connections.
