      Hello All,

      I need your help regarding pfsense issue, i'm using pfsense version 2.3.4.
      This pfsense work as firewall / router at my shop.
      I configure my wan interface as static ip. Quite happen, sometimes my lan internet suddenly disconnect.
      Try ping any internet ip (example 8.8.8.8) from pfsense ping, but request time out.
      As a result i need to manually disable and enable wan interface, then only my internet is working.
      Its so troublesome when we using internet, then suddenly my internet disconnect.
      When i review my internet from isp, if my isp not stable got 2 or 3 request time out, then my pfsense wan will totally disconnect.
      Is there any function / command in pfsense to refresh the wan connection? Auto connect maybe?

      Thanks

        What type of WAN connection?  I bet the provider is disconnecting you because you're using an address they didn't provide.  Unless you have been assigned a static IP, you shouldn't be using a static config.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
