      Hello. I have a very strange issue with pfSense on Proxmox.

      When i reboot a container on the LAN, it will not be able to connect to the network again until i clear the ARP table manually.

      The MAC address and IP of the container is still the same after the reboot.

      As soon as ARP is cleared, the network works on the container again.

      Strangely, this only happens to my to containers for some reason, not to VM's.

      Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

      pfSense is setup following the recipe provided by Netgate.
      (Yes, hardware checksum is disabled).

      I have experienced this before on another Proxmox instance, where changing the network driver from VirtIO to VMware fixed the issue. This time, that solution doesn't work.

      I have searched through half the internet without finding a solution to this, but i have seen some posts with users having a similar issue - no solution though.

      My setup is:
      VMBR0 (NIC with public IP forwarding all traffic to VMBR0 10.0.0.0)
      VMBR1 (LAN 192.168.1.0)

      Please note that everything WAN side works perfect - This issue only happens on LAN.

      If i change the container from VMBR1 to use the VMBR0 network, the network works instantly after every reboot on the container.

      Thanks in advance.
