      Is there a quick, easy way to release and then renew the ISP DHCP assigned IP address on a WAN interface?  I know my RVS4000 that PFsense replaced had 2 buttons right on the home page to do this with, but I can't find anything similar in PFsense.  I've taken to disabling and then re-enabling the WAN interface, but it'd be nice if there was a quicker way to do it.  A console command would be acceptable.

      I've been digging all over the forums and google for this and haven't been able to find anything.  I suspect its either simple and I'm just missing it for some reason.  Or its completely impossible.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          That would be it, thank you.

          I figured it was something simple…......
