Issue with Dynamic IP WAN gateway monitoring
-
Hmm, none of that looks too odd.
You have at least 4 IPv4 gateways configured there. The other 3 are VPNs?
What is odd is that you appear to be using BT directly? I would not expect to see the IP renewed at 24hrs. I have a BT PPPoE WAN and it stays up for months. Are you using anything special on that connection?

@stephenw10 i do have 3 vpns configured i know its overkill but i have 1 primary server and 2 failovers. I dont use a BT home hub as a modem, I have an actual broadband modem like this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/BT-OPENREACH-Infinity-TalkTalk-Providers/dp/B00UWBXXTC
That is directly connected to my pfsense box. -
Yup I also have an HG612 (unlocked of course.
). What I meant was your ISP is actually BT rather than one of the secondary providers so I would not expect it the renew the IP address like that. Has it always done that?Steve

@stephenw10 its been doing it as long as i remember and long before i started using pfsense. its only recently come to the surface because i have been getting into GW monitoring and vpn failover. I am thinking of getting vodafone buisness broadband (already a consumer user and can get a good deal) so i can have a fixed IP hopefully that will stop me needing to restart dpinger now.

@stephenw10 Ummm something interesting has happened , with me restaring dpinger daily my wan IP has not been refreshed for over a day now.

Hmm, that is interesting. I assume the WAN IP is not changed when you restart dpinger? I.e. it's not somehow restarting the connection? (it shouldn't).
