      What I expect to see there is either something like 'LCP echo timeout' or something from the servers side closing the connection. Unfortunately those would have been imediatelt preceding those logs if there were there.

          Hmm, that implies it was closed deliberately for some reason. What do the system logs show at that time?

            @stephenw10 Status > System Logs > System > General doesn't show anything at that time.

            I had snort installed but in monitor mode (no action) as a step i've removed it as it wasn't doing anything. I do have PfBlocker installed too if that has any baring.

              The system log would at least show the WAN going down at that point, the gateway monitoring failing etc. There must be something shown?

                None of the other logs show anything at that time.

                  Nothing in the main system log? I expect to at least some duplicated entries there.

                      In the main system logs in Status > System Logs > System Tab you wiulkd usually see most of the ppp entries as well as gateway entries and, importantly, other things that may have triggered the connection to close.
                      "connection closed" is not normally the first log entry like that. If it was caused by something like the parent interface loosing link, that's where it would appear.
                      Trying to find an example but my own PPPoE has been up so long it's scrolled out of the logs.

                          This is what it looks like if the parent NIC loses link for example:

                          Your logs do not match either.

                            @stephenw10 Is there an export function of all the logs? Just thinking when it next happens i just export everything.

                              You can just download the full log files. The main system log for example is:
                              /var/log/system.log

                              You can download that from Diag > Command Prompt.

                                  So it all went again today I've grabbed the logs for someone to see if i've missed anything but these are the screenshots along with one from the draytek that shows a link (shows wrong date as in modem mode).

                                  Screenshot 2021-07-24 at 15.07.34.png Screenshot 2021-07-24 at 15.06.19.png Screenshot 2021-07-24 at 15.05.00.png Screenshot 2021-07-24 at 15.04.18.png

                                  I'm really struggling now.

                                    Just noticed that even though i can access the internet the gateway in PFsense is showing down, could it be if the gateway stops responding the connection drops?

                                    I'm clutching at straws now lol

                                      @stephenw10 Is a gateway needed in pfsense or dpinger?

                                        You need a gateway of some sort for pfSense to send traffic to but dpinger does not need to use that for the monitoring address. You can disable the monitoring completely if you only have one WAN.

                                        In that last set of logs it look like the first thing shown in the general system log is 'PPPoE: Connection closed' but there is more shown before that in the PPP log.
                                        Is what you showed there the first thing at that time in that log?

                                        Really we want to see what is triggering the connection to close. If it's something on the pfSense end we may be able to address that. If it;s the server end closing the connection the options are limited.

                                          @stephenw10 Happy to send the full logs over if you want to take a look. ISP is being...... difficult. They have advised the gateway address they gave me was actually another customers IP who has now left facepalm.

                                          I'm waiting on them to give me all the details of my connection and i'm going to start again.

                                            @f022y said in sendto: 65 with UK ISP and PFsense:

                                            Cloudscape Connect

                                            I'm not familiar with them but the fact they gave you any information at all is a good sign. Sounds like they at least looked which is more than you'd get from most ISPs!

                                            If they are saying that they sent you a bad gateway then it's on them to not do that really. I wouldn't expend too much more effort until they are at least claiming to have rectified that issue.
