      @stephenw10 yes every night at 3 a.m. i reset my wan connection
      So you have found the bug we are discussing about?

      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.

      ☕️

          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?

                            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?

                                    @stephenw10 yes to both questions.

                                    do you want to upload again logs?
