      @AlexanderK said in Wan periodic reset causes system reboot.:

      What is the PIMD?

      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.

                                Even though you're still resetting the connection every night?

                                    After 3 days of continuous operation...
                                    Reboots are back

                                      Interesting. I would expect them to still be there since we didn't add anything to address it directly yet. However the fact it didn't happen for some days could be a clue....

                                        It's always been intermittent for me, so the behaviour change may be just one of those things.

                                        ☕️

                                          anything new about this?

                                          i have reboots every 3-4 days...and every time i have crash reports.
                                          This is something that it wasn't happening with previous versions.

                                            No update. I'll re-raise it.

                                            You see crashes then only about 25% of the time? You reset the PPPoE every night still?
