Think I found some similar issues today.
We created a new machine yesterday with the latest RC.
We have a ppoe connection and set it up. We did not check the dial on demand box and made no entry in the time out box.
It connects with no problem. Surf the web just fine. Then we started setting up our vpn connections. Never could get it to connect.
Looked back in the support notes and had similar problems at this location before. We were told to use an mtu of 1492 by the isp in the past so
we decided to try that. Then the fun begins. When we entered the mtu sized and tried to save we were now required to enter a timeout value.
So we checked the on demand and used 0 as it suggests. Then we are able to save. At this point things are still fine you can surf but not vpn yet. So we decided to shut it all down and reboot. When it comes back up the WAN interface is disabled. Look at the screen for the wan and it does not show disabled but dashboard shows disabled and no internet connections.
The only way I got around it was to use the console and reset to factory defaults. The console shows the lan and wan ports still attached to their original settings.
We went through this for several hours and as long as we did not change the mtu settings no problems with shutdowns and reboot. As soon as we set a value in the mtu setting boom wan disabled.
We have around 30 astaro and endian boxes out there and really want to move to pfsense. What other information can we provide to help with this.

Then we were having problems with vpn connections and in the past had used an mtu of 1492 for this provider.
