Huawei B535 + bridge mode + EE SIM + pfSense

I have a 3rd-party Huawei B535 that has bridge mode function exposed with an EE contract SIM in it. I'm having massive issues with wifi calling due to the double-NATting going on between the Huawei router and my main router (pfSense).

I've put the Huawei router in bridge mode and connected to pfSense port and thought that I needed to set the WAN connection in pfSense to PPPoE - but it asks for username password. I've tried eesecure/secure but no good. I've also tried DHCP instead of PPPoE but again, no good. The WAN port seems to be up but no traffic flows through 😞

Can anyone confirm what I should be putting in as my username/password for a PPPoE connection or whether PPPoE isn't the right way to do this?

I should think PPPoE is the WTG. Try Username/pwd = "eesecure"/"secure".

Did you get this working?

 

I currently have a similar setup (B535) but with a unifi usg. All is working fine with double nat.


However, i also use a L2TP VPN from AAISP to bypass CGNAT and give me a fixed IP. Use the B535 with DMZ pointing to unifi WAN port. Unfortunately the B535 does not pass VPN traffic (by design or bug). If i put the B535 is bridge mode the VPN client cannot be used at the same time. I therefore need the L2TP client to run on the USG which bizarrely doesn't support L2TP clients!

 

So, thinking of getting a pfsense box, hence my question!
