      That all looks normal.

      How many IPv4 gateways do you have defined in System > Routing > Gateways?

      If there is more than 1 make sure the default is set to the WAN gateway.

          I'm sorry I can't do that currently.

          Go to Status > Gateways.
          How many gateways are shown? Can we see a screenshot?

                  So just one gateway then.

                  That error indicates the host (the gateway here) is unreachable:
                  https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/gateway-errors.html#sendto-error-65

                  That should never happen since the gateway is in the same subnet as the WAN interface.
                  So it may have lost its IP? Or maybe you have another device handing out dhcp leases?

                  You probably need to wait until it's broken and then check the WAN interface status and the ARP table.

                      We need to know what the problem is before trying to fix it.

                      Check the WAN interface status when it fails. Check the ARP table. Check the system log.

                        @bangui91 said in Pfense Internet stop working. Only works after reboot:

                        WAN_DHCP 192.168.254.130: sendto error: 65

                        Hummm.
                        A Livebox from Orange. That's what i'm using also, here @work.
                        These boxes have a default LAN I of 192.168.1.1 using 192.1681.1.0/24 as their LAN network.

                        I changed it LAN network to 192.168.10.0/24 as I didn't want the change the default LAN I had before (in my company).

                        603dad8d-61b0-448c-bcc1-867b5b605e70-image.png

                        This way : nothing (literally) is needed to make pfSense work : it 's plug and play.

                        b46751d9-6a14-40db-b133-a4b6bbdf191e-image.png

                        My pfSense gets an IP from the Livebox, just like any other network device.

                        This :

                        @bangui91 said in Pfense Internet stop working. Only works after reboot:

                        dpinger 52155 send_interval 500ms loss_interval 2000ms time_period 60000ms report_interval 0ms data_len 1 alert_interval 1000ms latency_alarm 500ms loss_alarm 20% dest_addr 192.168.254.130 bind_addr 192.168.254.13 identifier "WAN_DHCP "

                        Who is this "192.168.254.13" ???
                        Don't tell my it's the IP of your Livebox ....

                        Btw : The IP to pinged shouldn't even be the IP of your LIvebox. You should puck an IPv4 somewhat further upstream. You can find in the Livebox the gateway it uses, you could use that one for dpinger. Right now your testing the cable between your pfSEnse and the Livebox.

                        I advise you to shut down the IPv6 part of pfSense. The IPv6 network capabilitiesyour Livebox (Orange) is offering is totally useless for you.

                        Ditch the TPLink.
                        Managing a router-after-router-after-router is .... is most probably not what you want.

                        1. You use pfSense because its your choice.
                        2. The Livebox because this @=&é*$ Orange obliges us to do so, as I'm using proprietary VDSL right now myself, fibre coming up at the end of the month).

                        edit : precisions :

                        When you open the box of a new Livebox, it has pre set a LAN network of 192.168.1.0/24, the Livebox uses 192.168.1.1.
                        When you install a new pfSEnse it has pre set a LAN network of 192.168.1.0/24, pfSense uses 192.168.1.1.

                        Simpliy said : this gives a routing conflict, as you can't route 192.168.1.x to 192.168.1.y.

                        Make your choice :
                        Change the network "192.168.1.1" on your Livebox (make it, for example 192.168.2.0/24)
                        Or
                        Change the network "192.168.1.1" on your pfSense (make it, for example 192.168.2.0/24).
                        There is nothing more to do for a working set up.

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                        Edit : and where are the logs ??

                          first go into the bios and disable hyperthreading.

                          secondly, list your network adapters. are they all intel or do you have realtek?
                          Everyone hates realtek because for the longest time, BSD was shipped with broken drivers.. pfsense version 2.5 finally included working drivers for realteks, however unlike intels that just 'install and work out of the box', you have to direct pfsense to use the new realtek drivers. i've seen the commands, it's very simple. just have to search for the instructions on what to do.. again, it's very simple and as a noob myself, i wouldn't be concerned.

                          third, you should list the packages you have installed for the seasoned vets to go through.. someone here will know
