        Probably an extreme measure but we appreciate your commitment! 🙃

                Ok one of those is different. It looks like this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14917
                Almost certainly because you're running PIMD. Are you able to test running without PIMD?

                That and the PPPoE bug are likely related if not actually the same root cause IMO. The interface is detached without closing/clearing the connections on it.

                  What is the PIMD?

                  The issue with PPPOE is that i reset my connection everything night at 3 am. After resetting i have kernel panic and reboot

                    It's a package you have installed:

                    <118> Starting package PIMD...done.
                    

                    I note you also have the UDP broadcast-relay installed and those things server similar functions. You probably don't need both.
                    I have only seen that multicast routing bug caused by PIMD or IGMPProxy though.

                          Ok that is almost certainly the PPPoE + IPv6 crash:

                          I assume your PPPoE link went down at that time?

                              Of course - you are not alone in having this issue - hence the redmine activity and additional fault-finding. The first part of this issue was fixed a while back but the 'fix' unmasked a deeper problem.

                                @RobbieTT so we disable ipv6 and wait for the fix?

                                  It's going to up to the individual users. I need IPv6 so turning it off is not an option. I also have no option for WAN other than PPPoE, so that is fixed too.

                                  I also cannot be without a connection, so have another box ready to go. I also cannot leave it to my wife and/or daughter to sort-out when I am away and they are working from home - so I have to have a non-pfSense option for those periods.

                                  It hasn't been a great experience for me but pfSense needs* contributors to get these things addressed.

                                  ☕️

                                  * Well, ignoring the recent kick-in-the-face for dev users. That behaviour will have to change or pfSense will start to die, just like many others before them.

                                    Is there a reason you are resetting it every night? Though obviously that shouldn't trigger this.

                                        Ah OK just to cycle a new WAN IP? Do you actually get a new IPv6 IP doing that?

                                          i haven't noticed about ipv6 but ipv4 is new every time.

                                          i have some personal selfhosted apps and by changing ip every day i think i protect them somehow....

                                            Second day with 2.7.1 and no reboots at all.
                                            I don't know what have changed but there is no reboot at all.
