      @theorangefloof Hate to say it, but you might just have some bad hardware.

        @okijames You are right. I found a cx-770.

        Apparently, it should be able to hear the relay when turning the machine on, but was not heard on my previous cx-570. After I replaced the relays, those Nic worked fine.

        This has nothing to do with proxmox or pfsense.

            @lemon-k What kind of relay did you replace?. My CXA-255 has "No Bypass" set up but the NIC still won't work. Thanks.

              Hello, just wanted to know if you had any luck of finding a fix for bringing lan and wan interface up once the pfsense is up.
              keep in mind I didn't see this behavior on 755 model just 255 model so far

                  @KOTRz after some back and forwards with the seller he sent me a new board were he just removed the relays and just hard soldered the connections so the ports would work as NICs. He also tested it before sending it and I tested it again when I received the new board and pfsense worked fine then. I would of replied to the thread back them but it completely slipped my mine until I saw the email about the reply

                    That seems like cheating. 😜
