pfSense cannot get WAN IP after reboot

I do have around 20-30 devices, so is it still a good idea to make all of the recognized devices static? Cuz I am planning on segregate IoT /Guest devices to another VLAN (not familiar with it), so I think I might possible to keep only reserved devices on LAN, and others goes to IoT VLAN.

and this is necessary:

use the ARPWATCH package for tracking

May I know where can I find this setting? And tracking of what? I know what is DHCP Static mapping, like mapping devices to my desired IP. But what about ARP?

this is the configuration:

Thanks for letting me know. Will try replicate it HAHA. Since my setup was up only few days ago (though I did research for months already), I am still working on it and adding more "features" on it.

And I thought people generally use DNS resolver on pfSense instead of 3rd parties.

@DaddyGo Great news I brought you (and to myself)! set WAN to 100baseTX full-duplex works! Thanks!!!! But what is the reason behind?

DaddyGo

What I wrote above is that the different ethernet controllers (chip) (one is the modem eth. port the other is the pfSense WAN port) can't match the link speed properly, since I have seen that when it works you are on 100base, so you should be forced the WAN port not to use the Auto-negotiation.

"And I thought people generally use DNS resolver on pfSense instead of 3rd parties"

with this I too have experimented a lot over the years and all my systems are built that way
so I can control everything and in the greatest security I think

You know (privacy is a myth):

Do you usually turn this on or off then?

@DaddyGo Really huge thanks to you, thank you!

for a static entry always on

@daddygo I have the same problem but my pfSense is running in Proxmox. I have a 30 Mbs connexion and the only option I have in the interface config is 10baseT.

Any option ?

There is a way.

If this forum complains about the URL, do the 'smart' thing :

https: slash slash pastebin dot com/cMNrLnjC

@gertjan Thanks. I know how to use pastebin. My problem is I cant download the log with WinSCP.
