Internet disconnects on Intervals due to Schedule
-
Hi! As the title of this post my internet drops every 15min, disconnecting voip, and causing games to reconnect. I found out the cause is the schedule I created for a particular firewall rule. Why is it that this is the behaviour? How to solve this? TIA

Show your Firewall Rules and schedule.

@Rico I already deleted the schedule and the rule. It is simply a block rule for a specific IP in the LAN that triggers based on the schedule defined. It works great except the issue mentioned above.

Please try to to reconnect to your Internet. If that does not work, click on forget this network and try to put your password again. This should help, since your internet would not disconnect every 15 minutes.

@negate1 Are you referring to WiFi? This is somewhat a large network, with almost a thousand clients connected to Pfsense.
Pf is acting as an edge network loadbalancing 4 WANs. Behind Pfsense is an OSPF network with several subnets. An IP in one of the subnets need to follow a schedule where there are times in a day that we need to block from accessing Internet. It is just a simple block rule with a schedule. After we applied the rule, Pf is disconnecting all clients in all subnets every 15min but reconnects them immediately. This is unnoticeable in most internet activities except games and voip. We disabled the rule and everything is back to normal.
Is this something a cron job not doing as intended?
