      Does anyone know where it writes the default gateway in the scripts? I have to make sure I don't reboot this right now or I will lose connection to the remote box. I'm tempted to rig rc.local or similar for now.

      Ah bleeding edge of technology.. it's my blood on you isn't it?

        2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Sat Feb 9 11:36:45 EST 2013
        I have LAN, WAN and 2 OpenVPN clients (peer-to-peer shared key tun) connecting out. My WAN is DHCP. It gets the WAN DHCP address fine, the OpenVPN clients come up and the default route out WAN is in the routing table - it boots clean. My default gateway is WAN (the normal ordinary thing). So, this is just to confirm that a simple config is working.
        I guess that the other posters here have an interface assigned to an OpenVPN link and have the default gateway out that? Or some other more interesting config?

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

          I went back to Feb 4th, now I have both ssl and the default gateway functional.

          I'm using both i386 and amd64 on different boxes.

          My default gateways are static on the WAN's.. nothing fancy. I do have OpenVPN in tap mode, bridged.

          On my Feb 4th install, this is the critical line:

          php: : ROUTING: setting default route to 192.168.9.1

          That doesn't show on my Feb 9th version.

            I do have three openvpn configs. Two are tun, one tap. But none are used for default routes.

            My default route is via the WAN interface that is a static IP address via ethernet Internet connection. In the pfsense admin interface, System->Routing shows my gateway and that it's set to default…it just doesn't get set.

              I also got hit by this (wanted to try a snapshot witth fixed OpenSSL).

              No routes were added and since my nameservers are not on the subnet of the WAN side but on a next one, without routing I don't have DNS too ;-)

              Going to revert to a backup (I almost forgot why I always hit full backup for snapshots)

                UPDATE: Upgrade to a newer snapshot or gitsync fixed, sorry for the noise.

                  Thanks Ermal. My test system worked because it had DHCP on WAN.
                  interfaces.inc interface_dhcp_configure() puts:

                  script "/sbin/dhclient-script";

                  into the DHCP client conf file.
                  When the DHCP address is received from upstream on the interface, and the interface is the default gateway, that script does:

                  $ROUTE add default -iface $interface

                  So the default route appeared OK on DHCP WAN interfaces, but not for those with static WAN IPs.

                  As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                    So the 2300 snapshot should have fixed this? If so it didn't :( or are you saying once a newer one is posted it will? :P

                    Thx

                      The change was only made a couple of hours ago - https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/commit/9d595f6ad4527341741e75cdbbeafdcffd99d269. The 2300 snapshot will be too old. You can wait for a 10 Feb snapshot, gitsync or paste the extra 2 lines into /etc/inc/system.inc manually.

                        Okay, yeah I kinda figured that was the case as I saw the time he posted the message but the choice of words made me think otherwise :) you would think I know better by know lol.

                        Thanks for the confirmation though.

                          Hello,

                          since Sat Feb 9th Update i lost the default routes for ipv4 + ipv6 on my pfsense ( version 2.1-BETA1 (amd64) ).
                          update to 10th Feb - 15th Feb can´t fix the problem.
                          after boot there is no default route in netstat -rn.
                          i can add the routes by executing

                          route add -inet6 default 1234:5687:9abc::1

                          and

                          route add -inet default 123.456.789.012

                          then it works to the next reboot.

                          my /etc/inc/system.inc

                          
if ($gateway['ipprotocol'] != "inet6" && (is_ipaddrv4($gateway['gateway']) || $gateway['gateway'] == "dynamic")) {
					if(strstr($gateway['gateway'], ":"))
						continue;
					if ($gateway['gateway'] == "dynamic")
						$gateway['gateway'] = get_interface_gateway($gateway['interface']);
					$gatewayip = $gateway['gateway'];
					$interfacegw = $gateway['interface'];
					if (!empty($gateway['interface'])) {
						$defaultif = get_real_interface($gateway['interface']);
						if ($defaultif)
							@file_put_contents("{$g['tmp_path']}/{$defaultif}_defaultgw", $gateway['gateway']);
					}
					$foundgw = true;
				} else if ($gateway['ipprotocol'] == "inet6" && (is_ipaddrv6($gateway['gateway']) || $gateway['gateway'] == "dynamic6")) {
					if ($gateway['gateway'] == "dynamic6")
						$gateway['gateway'] = get_interface_gateway_v6($gateway['interface']);
					$gatewayipv6 = $gateway['gateway'];
					$interfacegwv6 = $gateway['interface'];
					if (!empty($gateway['interface'])) {
						$defaultifv6 = get_real_interface($gateway['interface']);
						if ($defaultifv6)
							@file_put_contents("{$g['tmp_path']}/{$defaultifv6}_defaultgwv6", $gateway['gateway']);
					}
					$foundgwv6 = true;

                          please tell me, how can i fix this problem.

                          THX

                            http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,59005.0.html

                            I had a similar problem with a statically configured default IPv6 route.  I appear to have "solved" this problem by going to the System -> Routing page and re-saving the configuration for my default IPv6 gateway.  I don't know why, but after a reboot my default IPv6 route once again gets correctly installed.  Try that for your gateways and see if that helps you.  (I don't know why this worked for me.)

                              Bruce,

                              Check the config history and see what changed in the config when you pressed save. It's possible your gateway was missing an internal value that allowed it to function properly. This post is old but may be relevant: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,50095.0.html

                                  My config history doesn't show that change in it…it seems like the history doesn't go back far enough.  Also I read through the thread you quoted...I don't recall ever experiencing a problem like that.  In any case I'm happy with the way things are working right now.

                                  Thanks,
