      Hi there, I see those two problems on a regular basis. I know, these are not bad problems, but I would like to see some mitigation from pfSense here.

      Problem one is that after a boot-up of pfSense, those vpn-client-connections are all shown as offline and stay so, but they actually do work, unless...

      problem two comes into play, that some connections get the same IP-address from those vpn-servers.

      My solution for both problems is to manually restart all of those vpn-client connections.

      The first problem I would describe as kind of a bug in pfSense. The latter would need some kind of watchdog that restarts those client connections, if there is a routing problem?

      Thanks for reading.

        I'd say this is the gateway monitoring status (the packet loss)
        The gateway prob doesnt answer to pings

        Tune here , or disable

        System --> Routing --> Gateways
