      Hello

      I have just upgraded to 2.3.3, but an issue I had before still haunts me. At random times I am getting the following:

      Mar 9 07:47:27 check_reload_status updating dyndns GW_WAN
      Mar 9 07:47:27 check_reload_status Restarting ipsec tunnels
      Mar 9 07:47:27 check_reload_status Restarting OpenVPN tunnels/interfaces
      Mar 9 07:47:27 check_reload_status Reloading filter

      The dyndns is unconfigured, with the Check IP Services set to the default. OpenVPN is also not configured. Any ideas as to what I need to do to stop this problem?

        What is the problem? That you're seeing this in the logs? That is normal, those functions are called periodically regardless of whether you are using those features. Unless your system is not working as expected, just ignore them.

          The problem is once this happens, my connection is lost. I have to get on the server and take the NIC down, then bring it back up.

            Going to need more info than that then. Provide full(er) logs and more config details - what kind of WAN config do you have - DHCP? static IP? etc

              Do you mean the System Log? I can do a cut and past of the last several hours, or just before the stopping. The WAN is a static IP address. There is no DHCP or OpenVPN operating on the system, it is just a firewall for a mail server.

                What hardware is the pfSense running on?

                What kind of NICs?

                What is that WAN port connected to? A switch? A modem?

                What monitor IP are you using for your gateway? Next hop or something further?

                Send system.log at least 2-3 minutes leading up to the disconnect.

                  The pfSense firewall is running on a VM, which is running on Hyper-V. Here is the log from the last incident:

                    Let me add, the last two octets of the IP are 49.31, the gateway which is upstream is 49.1. The upstream is the router out to the cloud.

                      Another piece of info, from the gateway log. This is what is in the log for the most recent incident, they are all the same:
