      Hi all,

      Really need this fixed as soon as, can offer money to successful fix if that allowed.

      Hardware
      Vmware 6
      1 WAN (block of IPS)
      3 Internal LANs with VLAN

      The PPPoE does not auto connect if i disconnect it. It went off over night for few hours and never reconnected and not sure why. If i manually connect it everything works fine, no issues.

      Have attached pictures, noticed the WAN does not have an adaptor assigned yet it obtains a connection not sure if this has anything to do with it.

        Noticed Pfsense WAN remains connected even if i disconnect the WAN modem cable and restart it. Is this normal?

          Your gateway and monitor IPs are the same. If you change the monitor IP to something like google DNS or something you should get a representation of when the gateway is up or down from PF.
