      Hi
      After power failure on a site, my pfsense does not route any traffic to internet.
      WAN receives an IP adress via DHCP, and when I look at the pfsense dashboard, my Gateway WAN_DHCP is green (and my OpenVPN tunnel gateway is red because it cannot communicate with internet). I have configured the WAN_DHCP as default the default IPv4 Gateway and have no gateway set in the firewall rules.

      I have compared the logs from a sucessful manual reboot with the failing one and the order of the events for receiving the WAN IP and setting the default gateway seem to differ.

      Successful:

      Jun 19 18:06:25 php-fpm 408 /rc.newwanip: rc.newwanip: on (IP address: 83.233.101.5) (interface: WAN[wan]) (real interface: mvneta2).
      ...
      Jun 19 18:06:27 php 451 rc.bootup: Default gateway setting Interface WAN_DHCP Gateway as default.

      Failing:
      Aug 13 09:36:59 php 472 rc.bootup: Gateway, NONE AVAILABLE
      ...
      Aug 13 09:37:52 php-fpm 428 /rc.newwanip: rc.newwanip: on (IP address: 31.208.129.240) (interface: WAN[wan]) (real interface: mvneta2).

      Is it possible that the routing it not correctly setup if there is no IP adress on the WAN interface when rc.bootup tries to setup the default interface? is there a way to avoid the problem?

      Disconnecting and reconnecting the WAN ehternet cable triggers pfsense to reevaluate and after that everything works fine. But the site is remote and since it often faces power outages this is a real problem for us. I have an OpenVPN tunnel to the main site for remote management but that of course requires that the client site gets its internet connection working....

      More from the logs;
