4 months ago If I understand the use-case then it's already supported in the current version of the eppp component (without the USB option), correct? The solution is just like this example https://github.com/espressif/esp-protocols/tree/master/components/esp_modem/examples/ap_to_pppos but instead of esp_modem, you'd setup the eppp in server mode.
About the USB-CDC transport, it's very easy to add actually. (you can check a similar implementation in this IDF example: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/master/examples/common_components/protocol_examples_common/ppp_connect.c if you like to contribute). I'll be adding SDIO transport soon, so adding USB to the list.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Actually, the idea is come up with the requirement for me that,
I have a Openwrt router (RPi3B+), and I'd like to add a wifi access point via ESP32, for my IoT devices. I had noticed ESP-HOSTED, but it can only be used on normal linux system (i.e. Raspbian), not openwrt such that environment is not satisified.
Hence I get the EPPP-Link, It can act as a PPP Server and NAPT a network to client. So I think it's nice to do some little trick, to get a reverse router.
Describe the solution you'd like.
The EPPP-Link Slace (PPP Server) can be used as normal. There are some points to change:
On the router I'd just add a static route to get it forward to the WAN.
So the data link would look like:
Futhermore, USB-CDC-based serial could be used to provide a higher baudrate for a stable connection, with or without flow control.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
I;d considered ESP-modem to connect to PPP Server on Openwrt, but it's somewhat hard to work, since openwrt only provided PPP client configure on LuCI.
