Auto re-start after loss of internet connection
-
Would someone be kind enough to provide me a detailed explanation/steps as how I can have my pfsense box restart after the internet connection drops? If a time interval is need then let’s say restart after 5 minutes of no internet connection. -Thank you very much in advance.

That is not a very good idea.. So your isp has an outage of say couple of hours in the middle of the night and your router reboots itself every 5 minutes?
-
Long outages are rare. Connection drops usually only last a few minutes.
-
And why would you need to reboot pfSense after a connection drop? pfSense usually handles these very well.
-
Exactly... Have never in history of using pfsense had to reboot it to regain access after an outage.. Going back 10 some years of using pfsense.

From ONLY 9 years ago... but this solution doesn’t seem to work.
Could someone please help?
