Azure VM keeps Disconnecting, and requires entire VM to be built again

abhishekpapanna

Hi,

I have this VHD which has been prepared for of sense. I can deploy the VM using this image. I need to have 4 network interfaces attached to it, however when I enable the new network interfaces, the VM stays connected for sometime and it disconnects with no way of connecting back. I will have to rebuild the VM and then try again. The disconnect happens only after adding new interfaces to the VM and enabling them. I have looked into outbound NAT settings and added the local network settings to LAN address 172.x.0.0/24, however once this is done the connection remains for a longer duration but after that disconnects. Can anyone suggest me how to get this up and running.

Thanks,
Abhishek

Update from the last check, pfsense gets disconnected after a couple of minutes from enabling a second interface.

I'm assuming the VHD is a custom image and not marketplace pfSense?

To confirm:

So your setup looks like this on Azure right – assuming the vhd has one interface assigned on deployment

pfSense Nic1 (WAN) {what subnet?}
Nic2 (not yet assigned) {what subnet?}
Nic3 (not yet assigned) {what subnet?}
Nic4 (not yet assigned) {what subnet?}

When you assign & enable Nic2, you lose connectivity?
How are users connecting VPN, public ip, etc?
