I presume the VLAN tagging is not working correctly? In any case, you can use this guide instead: https://www.blacktubi.com/guide/make-any-ro...-work-on-unifi/

It uses a TP Link switch (cost less than RM100) that you can use to separate the VLAN's beforehand. Hence you don't need to configure the VLAN in PFSense anymore

In layman terms, using the Easy Smart Switch from TP-Link allow you to use any router in the market even those without Unifi mode in the firmware.

With the configuration, your TM Unifi modem (Fibre ONU) should be connected to port 1. Your wireless router should be connected to Port 3 and HyppTV should be connected to Port 5. I wouldn’t go in on how to setup your wireless router but you can setup your wireless router as usual with the PPPOE mode using your Unifi PPPOE ID and Password. Do not select any Unifi profile if available! Nothing need to be done on the HyppTV, it should work properly immediately.

i checked it out
that does sound amazing 

but it shows the switch is connected direct to the modem. is that safe ?

i use a switch, but i keep that behind my router. So it's not directly connected to the modem. Only the router is connected to the modem physically via ethernet.

in pfsense there is already a setting for adding a vlan.

done configured pfSense for tm unifi and it's so easy actually. Also got working hypptv as well

long way transition from default tm router —> asus —> mikrotik —> and now pfSense!

running pfSense as VM with proxmox host on bare metal server. running together are pihole,unifi controller, Home Assistant, netdata to monitor and heimdall as unified homepage

next time wanna try to configure pfblockerNG/pihole, ntopg and openVPN

how?? 

earlier you just said you tried a config (kudos for the pics), but you didn't mentioned what you changed to get it to work 

create vlan 500 & user port WAN  ( in my case vtne1)
look like this



port assignment WAN (use the VLAN 500 u just created)
edit WAN port to use PPPoe, then put username & password there
then it will look like this



go to PPP tab change the Interface(s)/Port(s) to ur WAN port (my case vtnet1)
it will look like this



then u should get the unifi connect!



enjoy pfSense..so powerful!

okay i deleted my old config for this, then re-did it based on this guide. had to go back and forth until i got something that worked close enuff to the instructions.

instead of add interface for pppoe, that part i just edit the existing wan, and edited the general config for it, and added pppoe and the isp credentials save. then i check interface assignments, that this is now the wan which it should be.

so in interface assignments, i only have a wan and lan.


in vlan i only have that one vlan tag 500 entry bound to the wan port.

then i go to interface, wan, then edit it to PPPOe and add isp credentials, save.

Now in interface assignments there is a pppoe is bound to vtnet0.500 , this i replace the original wan interface "vnet0" with the new pppoe vtnet0.500 entry.


i then wipe logs and then i rebooted the router via cmd "5" normal reboot.

i confirm that the wan logs into isp, i have broadband access, and no pppoe spam so far.

Question why pfsense and not opnsense?

never looked at opnsense. is it better

It seems simpler,cleaner looking UI and probably 98% similar to pfsense.
