| + | ===== Connecting a Client ===== | ||
| + | * Everything is now set up and ready for the first client to connect. | ||
| + | * We will use OpenWrt with the following /// | ||
| + | * The PPPoE username is '' | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||

| + | </ | ||
| + | * This device has to be connected to the **same network** (broadcast domain) where our Accel-ppp server is running in order for the network packets to reach the PPPoE server. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Checking The Log File ===== | ||
| + | * The Accel-ppp log file will give us more feedback when a client connects. | ||
| + | * Run the following command | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | sudo tail -f / | ||
| + | </ | ||
