      Mmm, what is igc1 in your setup? It's losing link then relinking and triggering all the related scripts. Why is that happening? What is it linked to?

      That's what's causing Kea to restart.

        Hi,
        there are for sure no VPN clients ... I don't need it and I didn't add it.

          That's just get's logged as part of the newwanip script whether or not you have any VPNs defined.

            @johndoe102 I just checked the source. These are printed out regardless of whether they are defined or not.

            [Edit: Guess I should hit refresh before submit 🤠 ]

              Hello,
              igc3 - WAN
              igc2 - LAN1 interface is assigned, but there is no device connected into
              igc1 - LAN2 interface is assigned and only my PC is directly connected into (no switch in between). With DHCP static mapping and permanent entry in ARP table. But this PC is not 24/7 power on ... it's just my working PC, which I power off each day in the evening.
              igc0 - LAN3 interface is assigned (with few VLANs) and Unifi switch with access points is connected

                This will get you the behavior you are seeing. Every time your PC flaps the interface, pfSense will lurch.

                You want a switch between your PC and pfSense.

                  And you want that switch to stay energized so the physical layer link does not "flap" each time it is powered up.

                    understood ... make sense, but I think , I have the same behavior even if my PC is not power on for longer period of time ... let's say the whole night. Let me check this scenario tonight.

                    thanks

                    best regards

                      @johndoe102 I would not count on the device being truly powered off unless the power plug is disconnected and any batteries have been removed. A surer test might be to disconnect the PC's ethernet cable instead.

                        Yup if you have WoL enabled for example the NIC will remain linked when the PC is in standby.
