i don't think you can filter PPPOE packets b/c they're setup as ethernet frames. see http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29843&highlight=pppoe+bridge or search the archives. AFAIK, the point of a pppoe tunnel is to put the packets into and out the frames needed to use PPPOE. so until the packets pop out of the ethernet frames, pf can't grok them. i'm pretty sure i'm not talking garbage, but someone can feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. cheers, jake > >On Oct 10, 2005, at 11:42 PM, Christopher Hylarides wrote: > >> While I have never done it myself, I THINK that you might be able >> to do it with bridging the pppoe interface with an ethernet >> interface.
