<![CDATA[dpinger Stops working]]>Hello,

After a week or two, under my Services Status I noticed my 'dpinger Gateway Monitoring Daemon' stops working or shuts off. Any ideas on a fix for it beside rebooting pfsense. Thanks!

Assuming that you are not doing multi-wan, two quick questions:

  • Do you have an explicit monitor address set for the gateway in System -> Routing -> Gateways?
  • Do you have addition of static routes for gateways (System / Advanced / Miscellaneous) enabled or disabled?

When dpinger stops working the service can't be restarted. This necessitates a full system reboot to restart the service.

I found this reply in another forum helpful. Currently testing pfSense with these new parameters.
