Is there a way to prevent "newwanip" when an OVPN client connection changes?

[jacotec]

Hi,

I have two outgoing Open VPN connections (PIA) set up where the traffic to some destinations is routed to. These connections are used only for outgoing traffic and I don't care about the VPN IP address the connection gets.

The VPN IP addresses of these connections are changing periodically, at least once per day. The big issue is that pfSense runs the "newwanip" event in these cases which restarts several services like ntopng, but even worse my HAPROXY which affects all active connections on my main link (which has a fixed IP address).

How can I exclude the OpenVPN client connections from running the newwanip event (if that's possible and not mandatory needed when the VPN IP address changes)? Or at least exclude the HAPROXY restart from the OpenVPN IP change events. I've disabled all monitoring of the gateways associated to the OVPN connections, but that does not help.

Thought this may work but it didn't.

Untick Reset all states if WAN IP Address changes
