        If your WAN does not directly have the public IP, and so pfSense does not always realise if the public IP has changed, then the cron job that does a daily check will need to run more often. Install the cron package, then edit the "/etc/rc.dyndns.update" job to run more often. I have ISPs that like to reassign IPs multiple times a day, so I schedule this for every 5 minutes. That way a new public IP address is re-learnt after just 5 minutes or so and my OpenVPN links can find their end-points again.

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