DNS Resolver not resolving part 1234

The problem is, that every now and then (and that could be weeks) i loses the ability to connect to the internet.
You can check your uplink quality.
It should be constant, flat and as small as possible.
If it start to go up and down, or worse :- you are saturating your connection, and if the 'pipe', up or down is to full, dpinger starts to miss ping packets, it can go in panic mode, and 'restart' your WAN interface.
No need to explain that if the pipe (uplink) is bad or full, or not working well, the resolver can't do its work neither. Right ?
..... - call your ISP and say : good bye, I'll leave you for a better one.

Hello,
I did what you wrote.
Enable DHCP.
Got :
So disabled the DHCP Client Registration.
Saved it.
And then switch to KEAAnd the dhcpleases is gone now.

dpinger starts to miss ping packets,
if that's the problem OP might be able to mitigate some of that by changing the ping times / loss interval etc or by selecting a different monitor IP. (if that is even setup)
Most users wouldn't notice the difference between the default 500ms setting and even 2-3-4 or 5 seconds.
if Applicable OP could look https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/routing/gateway-configure.html
for the Probe Interval, Loss Interval, Time Period, and Alert Interval seeing how the adjusts could be made and the rules to follow.

Like anything, that depends a lot on scaling resolution, duration of sample as well as the connection. Great guideline but not to be interpreted as a blanket statement.
For example, the scaling that appears on the graphs, when everything is mostly sub 1ms as shown from my system the graph appears much less flat, but doesn't mean there is a problem.
Looking at the data summary under the pretty graph might tell us more ?

That is mine

Nothing really interesting here, did you have an issue with connectivity as you've described in the past day?

Ah - so read thishttps://forum.netgate.com/topic/174601/dpinger-exiting-on-signal-15?_=1702390469713
is that logging constant of just those few entries. What else happened at the same time?
take that time stamp and start looking at system and other logs, there will likely be something obvious - or something you observed at that time.
do you have both the gateways and interfaces widgets on the dashboard?
yes -> do you see any of the ports bouncing up and down?
no -> put them both on the dashboard?You'll need to figure out what is killing dpinger that rapidly, as mentioned on the other thread it is being explicitly terminated. That can then lead to a whole bunch of other things happening.
is the port connection speed and duplex what you expect and what it should be?
Tried a different cable? (modem <-> wan)
dest_addr 213.93.180.1 so VODAFONE_ZIGGO
that's your gateway.
ping something further out, setup a monitor IP on
System -> Routing -> Gateways - Edit
The field is "Monitor IP" try something external but local to you or pick one of the any-cast big boys 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 etc
what kind of response you get from that?Could still be DHCP / but I think you have tried all those checks based on previous items posted.
