WAN interface stops working every few days.

I doubt it, the r210 ii has excellent airflow and mobo, proc temps are all green.This has happened with onboard as well as 3 different PCIe NICs 2x broadcom, 1x Intel all different chips

@gawainxx I already faced this kind of trouble.
The latency starts growing until th Wan interface stops working.
A (not) solution was to turn monitoring IP to of.Then I changed my ISP and both, the trouble and the ISP, desappeared.
Did already established connections continue to work without issue?
IE if I'm using splashtop and connected controlling a remote desktop I'm able to continue using it with no speed delay, however I'd be unable to reconnect once I disconnect.

@gawainxx System/Routing/Gateways
Edit the Gateway and disable monitoring.
Remembering that it is not a solution but a way to get it working.

@gawainxx I am not able to answer this question.

Crapped out again, going to give this a try to see if it makes a difference.

Nope, Issue occured again 1 hour later....
Guess I'm going to throw the ISP's provided "Modem" (router) in as my main internet and double nat for a bit so that I can rule out whether it's something weird with PPPOE in pfsense, it'll also give me an escalation path as I'd be using the ISP's hardware.....
Port forwarding configuration with this config is going to suck though.
-
@gawainxx Lots of ISP modems have a "DMZ" feature. You could use this, if available, since it will pass ALL (or most) ports right into the pfsense WAN port. Once there, you can deal with the pfsense box doing the port forwarding, like it was at the edge of your network.

Thanks, I'm working with this right now. This should help me rule out pfsense because i can directly interface with the modem if needed and this provices a path for escalating with the ISP.

Welp, It's definitely an ISP issue.. it just happened to coincide with me swapping the pfsense box.
Issue occured twice today, the second time I was home and able to test some things.
Pings to the ISP modem/router had little to no latency from behind pfsense whereas pings to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 had incredibly high latency and packet loss.I then connected my laptop directly to the ISP modem/router and did pings with the same results. Rebooted the ONT to get internet back.
The good news is my network setup isn't to blame but this means that I'll likely need to go through a long painstaking process of trying to get a resolution through the ISP.
-
Urgh. Good luck!
At least you have some sort of answer I guess.
The fact existing connections stay working really makes it seem like some sort of state exhaustion. that would still have to be somewhere upstream though if pfSense is doing PPPoE, the USB router would not see those states.
