      After installing 2.3.3 on my Active/Passive APU PFSense cluster I was having issues with packet loss on my Comcast business, disabling monitoring seems to fix the issue and the internet works properly.

      on another note, when ever I have a packet loss the web interface becomes very unresponsive. This has been going on long before I upgraded to 2.3.3.

      I do have the "Synchronize states" un-checked as it seamed to crash my backup router.

        There is new option:

        Added the ability to disable gateway monitoring actions without disabling gateway monitoring #3151

        Try enabling it.
        If issues would go - you definitely have problem with failover.

        Need full pfSense in a cloud? PM for details!

          This problem too.
          Upgraded from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 today.
          2 WAN, both same packetloss - 33%. When this happens web interface unresponsive.

          P.S. From diag - traceroute monitor IPs go through different gateways (as expected).

            This was not happening before 2.3.3 upgrade on my router.

            As you can see the ping had no where near the packet loss reported.

            Before upgrading I would regularly do tests pinging google dns and I'm surprised by the 2% lose on this ping.

            my Comcast Internet is 50/10.

              We have sites where ping to 8.8.8.8 is rate limited. We have sites where it's blocked by Google. I wouldn't use that for monitoring. Not reliable/useful.

                  @doktornotor:

                  While what you say is valid point, I have been using google DNS for several months with no issues. I preformed an upgrade and have had issues. Google blocked / rate limited me on the same day I upgraded?

                  I just swapped my gateway monitors, my Comcast was using 8.8.8.8 now its 8.8.4.4 and swapped my other internet from 8.8.4.4 to 8.8.8.8. I still get packet-loss that is miss reported.
