      Previously you say it was rebooting when you manually restarted the WAN. Is that still the case with IPv6 disabled?

          I triggered it again with different procedure.
          I simply disconnected wan interface with ipv6 enabled.... system reboots.

            Can you do each procedure with and without IPv6 as it is a bit scatter-gun at the moment?

            It will help the diagnostics as there is potentially more than 1 issue at play.

                Ok, sounds like one of the issues I have and it has been recognised by Netgate too, with an associated redmine entry.

                @stephenw10
                Steve, another one for you I guess. The absence of suitable logs is a bit puzzling though. I'm not sure if you guys have made any progress resolving this IPv6 related event though?

                  We think we know what might cause it but without being able to replicate it locally it's difficult to prove.

                  23.09 dev snapshots have been enabled for anyone able to test against that. It would be good to know if there uis any difference there.

                    I only have one Netgate device and that is in production but hopefully someone has a unit they can test with.

                    Unless you have a unit you can send for testing Steve?

                        @RobbieTT can you send the link of the redmine?

                            @stephenw10 installed 23.09 dev version.
                            Resetting wan still resets device but will check again

                              @stephenw10 found another way to trigger the issue.
                              Status interface disconnect wan
                              System reboots

                                That applies to me too but around 50% of the time. My WAN is delivered by PPPoE so that difference may impact the rate of crashes / reboots.

                                It is unfortunate that the issue impacts v23.09d.

                                    anything new?
                                    tried to replicate issue at a lab but nothing happened.
                                    I am using my production network without ipv6

                                      There have been some backend changes to our build system preventing new snaps for a few days. Let me check.....

                                        We are still digging into this. It looks like there may be several related issues here. The NDP issue being one of them.

                                          If the coding is not too complicated the understanding of this will wipe at least 3 bugs away. A 4th could be the unexplained DNS Resolver cache wipe following a pfBlocker cron-job. Seems you have more in mind though!
