      Hello

      I want to know how I can detect when a WAN is down (down meaning it has no internet access thru that interface) and then if detected, launch a personal script.

      Thanks

        You something like this

        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/124545/monitoring-pfsense-using-nagios-and-ssh

        Or a bash script like this .....

        if curl -s --head  --request GET https://example.com | grep "200 OK" > /dev/null; then 
           echo "mysite.com is UP"
        else
           echo "mysite.com is DOWN"
        fi
