Well Holy Crap @johnnyf1ve! I have been dealing with this same problem with Metronet for over 2 years. The cron script you initially wanted to implement is here. I've been using it for a long time to work around the issue.

I too have a Protectli appliance right after Metronet's Nokia modem. Bet you got one of those modem's too. I can say it's definitely not a hardware issue on my pfSense appliance because I've used the Protectli and tested with an old Dell with a Dual NIC Intel NIC. Same problems with dropped WAN.

I have long thought this is a unique problem with Metronet. They have cheap Fiber and you gotta cut costs somewhere. I have other Protectli boxes in other environments running with Metronet with the same result of losing the WAN connection. If you have a static IP from Metronet the problem of course goes away and that was the ultimate fix.

I just made the changes that you have found from the Reddit user and I'll see how it goes. I'll probably keep my Cron pintest.sh scheduled just in case. I can check the log files to see if it's actually resetting the interface after your suggestion. Thanks man!

Lastly, here are my last few pingtest.sh logs with the dropped connection from the past few weeks. When the ping test fails it turns the WAN interface off for a few seconds and then right back on which fixes the problem 99% of the time. As you can see, this happens a lot.

Thanks MEtroNeT!

Are you sure hyper-v is passing the tagged traffic? Can you test running baremetal on something?

Finalement, j'ai trouvé, mais ça n'a pas été sans mal !
J'ai été sur mon ADCS.
J'ai importé le certificat de mon autorité de certification : CA-WinServ161.
Je voulais l’éditer en texte pour faire un copier/coller et le balancer dans pfSense mais c'était crypté.
Alors je l'ai ouvert avec le certmgr.exe et l'ai exporté de nouveau sans les clefs (de toute façon je n’avais pas le choix)
Cette fois-ci quand je l'ai ouvert avec un éditeur de texte, je l'avais en clair. Je l'ai copié.
Retour sur pfSense dans l'AC, j'en créer une nouvelle, mais cette fois-ci une externe. Je colle le certificat de mon AC-WinServ161.
Je vais dans gestionnaire de certification pour en créer une version LDAPS avec la nouvelle autorité de certification externe.
Je valide, je teste ...
... et ça passe !!! Le pire, c’est que la réponse était dans les commentaires de la vidéo ...

Use Captive Portal along with FreeRadius. Create a user and restrict no of simultaneous devices to 3. Share the username and password with all the users.... at a time only 3 will be able to connect.
