No Internet connection until I reseat the WAN cable
-
Hi, after many attempts at moving my pfSense-router I finally have it set up on the new machine.
The only problem is that when I reboot the router I have to unplug and replug the WAN cable and only then can I get an Internet connection on the LAN side.
I can connect to the webConfigurator also most of the times.
The router itself has internet access as I can ping "1.1.1.1" without any issues from the shell.
When I try to do that on a device conected to the LAN interface it only works after reseating the WAN cable.After that everything works fine.

1.1.1.1 is a bad example, it's anycasted and not all of the 1.1.1.1 servers respond to ICMP echo (ping), if any.
If you are getting a response from 1.1.1.1, it's probably not coming from what you expect or want. Use a different target.

Its the same with any other adress, 1.1.1.1 was just an example.

What does the browser says when it doesn't work?Ā Amazingly return/un-returned message has meaningā¦
SITE UNREACHABLE = routing issue/missing gateway.
SITE NOT FOUND = no DNS resolution.
SITS FOR A WHILE BEFORE RETURNING ERROR = TTL timeout, packet dropped by somebody in transit. Sometimes congestion.Odd.
