      Hello,

      A pfsense noob here.
      I'm installing pfsense on a proxmox server.
      For both i use the latest version.
      Everything goes well.
      topology : ISP router(pfsense ip = DMZ and static) - pfsense router(static ip)
      when i spin up the router, but after about 20 - 25 minutes the gateway goes down.
      I;m at it form 3 days and nothing seems to work.

      It used to work perfectly, but after a crash while updating proxmox i have to re-do the server...Yes i learned the hard way backup before update

      If someone could please help me.....

          It's well known that freebsd and realtek not a first choice..

            @m0rphius FWIW (every penny paid), I haven't had any issues w/ Realteks and pfSense, even w/ VM's (but Hyper-V).
