Hello,
thanks for your answer.
You can ping or traceroute snort.org all day long from anywhere in the
world and your not going to get through.
63.240.198.67 (where you stop) is your first hop in the SourceFire
network. And, they don't pass ICMP traffic.
I know, my "can not reach snort.org" was realted to www though a
browser.
You have verified that an MTU of 1500 is too large for your pppoe
connection.
So, verify that you have set the MTU for all interfaces (the router
lan/wan and all the boxes in question) to 1400.
The largest frame "on the wire" in your dumps is 1214. I don't know
why, you've indicated you'd set 1300 on your client host and 1400 on
your pfsense box.
Try dropping them all down to MTU 1200.
Okay, i changed every interface who is involved:

If you're still not getting the web page in your browser, verify the MTU
on both interfaces of the router, start full content dumps on both your
wan and lan ports, go to one of the afflicted hosts and verify MTU on
it's interface.
I did, as you can see in the ifconfig quoted above.
Please find attached tcpdumps from intern extern and pppoe interfaces.
Establish the telnet connection, like before:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ telnet snort.org 80

(note i did copy your GET command and did hit enter twice)
(Note that you hit enter twice, an empty newline transmits).
Make a note of the response.
By the way, note that, sites that have virtual hosts setup also
require you specify the host, like so:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: snort.org
That's the reason for your error here.
From your dumps, on the wan side dump, single out all snort.org
traffic; on the lan side dump, single out all traffic to/from the host
you were using.
Post those dumps.
Dumps from all interfaces are attached.
I'm really looking forward to your next mail.
Thanks a lot for taking the time!
Your dumps are not full content: "Packet size limited during transfer:
HTTP Truncated". Which means, what? Besides the fact that we can't
visually verify expected server responses, there are no tcp checksums
available for frames larger than 96 bytes, which could indicate a
faulty NIC somewhere, or other problems. But, no big deal.
Besides that, you obviously have some issues.
I'm not so familiar with pppoe these days. It's been years since I had
to deal with it. However, I see your pppoe frames are 10 bytes smaller
than the ethernet frames.
I guess that's normal (null header 4 bytes, ethernet 14, 14-4=10). So
it doesn't look like anythings getting lost there.
Ultimately, your side is resetting the sessions, getting lots of
duplicate acks and crap. So... ya gotta try something.
Have you tried doing what Scott suggested to you?
Start with an MTU of 500 and see if that works, first. And then start
raising it until it doesn't. Find the threshold. And then set it to
the largest MTU that works.
Since your largest pppoe frames are 1204, I would think your looking
for 1200. But, play around with it and see what happens.
