      pfSense keeps on searching for an IP6 gateway, even if I disabled it on the interface:

      The log keeps telling me:

        Is IPv6 enable on LAN? Along with Automatic Outbound NAT, the system would automatically generate some NAT rules on WAN… and maybe cause this when it looks for a way out for IPv6.
        Or do you still have any rules that specify IPv6 protocol?

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

          Yes, on the LAN interface there is IP6 as static interface. I will disable that and look if the messages are still there.

            Ok I did what you told me to do, removed IP6 static ip from LAN, removed all IP6 rules and disabled IP6 in System->Advanced->Networking.
            Even changed the "DOWN" monitoring of the gateway back from 60sec to de default 10sec.

            Now ALL the messages are gone, even the OpenVPN messages and gateway timeouts are gone as well!

            Maybe the other post (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,72289.0.html)  is having the same issues due to IP6?

              There is no such relation unless you assign the OpenVPN interface (which you should NOT do in 99% of cases.)
