    It's a default table that is usually populated with local networks that need to bypass policy routing (e.g. LAN to LAN2/DMZ type traffic). It could be empty if you only have one local interface, or if you don't use policy routing.

    @jknott I'm not going to jump the gun but I think I found it. I'm using Home Assistant for my home automation and inside it I have setup trackers for devices. I ping the devices and if they do not respond I send a message to my phone telling which device is down. In my code I was still pinging those old IP's. Lets hope that was it. Thank you so much for your help.

    @selianto pfSense 2.3.x is End of Life. As such, we do not offer older releases for download, nor do we support them. If you have an urgent upgrade project, you should consider a Netgate Global Support subscription. The Support team may be able to assist with the upgrade in a way that does not require having to use an outdated image. If you would like more information about a Netgate Global Support subscription, please email sales@netgate.com or if you need help now, you can find our different Netgate Global Support subscriptions here: https://netgate.com/support

    There is no way to exclude the hostname, it does this to ensure the filenames are unique between firewalls, so if you connect to multiple firewalls, the filenames are not the same. I'm not sure it makes much difference for the hostname in that context, whether or not you want it to show "pfsense" there or another hostname is up to you.

    The most common time I see this is when my cable connection renews DHCP and switches to a different subnet. Some states are still pointing at the old gateway which is no longer valid, thus the error. I suspect a similar issue happened there, probably as @heper said, it came from the cable modem. Lots of cable modems will hand you a private address if you lose upstream sync.

    Do your sniff, diag packet capture on your lan interface... Do you see the syn to your ftp server private IP... If you do not see an answer its not pfsense that is your problem. Here I just setup a port forward for ftp (21) and can you see me shows closed.. [image: 1548858567386-ftprst-resized.png] See how my client on 192.168.2.11 sent a RST... Basically he said to F off ;)

    In what way does the the WAN 'go down'? What do you see logged? Are you running 2.4.4p2? There were some default gateway issues in 2.4.4. Steve

    Hmm, so the command remained the same? Just the interfaces in lagg0 that changed? Steve

    Does it do the same on different switch ports? It could be a bad port. It's not any sort of limitation in pfSense. All Gigabit NICs should link at 1Gbps regardless of whether or not the hardware can make full use of that. Steve

    Hmm, that's... unhelpful! Well you can at least update to 2.3.5p2 (or 2.3.6 if you go to the last dev snaphot). If there is some bug you're hitting it may have been corrected. I'm not aware of that specifically though. Steve

    Just as an update to this. I span up a new VM with a fresh install of pfSense. Copied most of the settings across so it was ready to 'drop in'. I visited the site two weeks ago, shut down the broken pfSense, and booted the new one. Power cycled the cable modem and immediately everything worked. Two weeks in and the cable modem is still recognised and working correctly. So I assume the problem was caused by some sort of corruption in the config file.

    L3, ie layer 3... Vs L2 - layer 2... That seems to be only a layer 2 switch, so no routing..

    I've reset the SG. Connection kills are gone. No longer nginx reports in system log. Is there another log that might help dig deeper? because just that error in system log didn't helped identifying the problem.
