    I have a 50 / 50 fiber line that gets converted to copper via an ONT then it goes into my pfsense box (xeon x3210 running 2.3.4-RELEASE)

    The issue I am having is every 24 hours or so (more like 28 I think) the connection will stop working,
    if I release and renew the wan in pfsense it will work for another 24 hours.

    How can I automatically tell pfsense to release / renew the wan every 24 hours?
    or is there some log a can look at to get more information as to whats going on, the only thing I can see is after it fails: "WAN_DHCP: sendto error: 13"

    I had the same issue with a sophos install, but if I hook up an ASUS router it will release/renew every 24 hr on its own.

    Thanks

      Ok I think I found the setting if anyone else has this issue

      Under interfaces > Wan
      Lease Requirements and Requests
      in: Option modifiers
      put: option dhcp-lease-time 86400;
