Totally weird behaviour of WAN2 when scheduling automatic reset of DSL line
-
Hi,
so I have been running pfsense for a few years without issues.
At some point, I got a second DSL line and added it as a second gateway for some experiments (on an OPT interface). That worked fine (not exactly as I had imagined but it did work). Now I got rid of my first DSL line (that was on the WAN interface). And then the problems began. I am only presenting one of them here in order to keep the discussion focused:
If I make an entry in the GUI for the second WAN to reset automatically at a certain time, I lose my internet connectivity immediately (even if the reset is scheduled only for the next morning). The interface is still shown as up and the DSL as connected, I still have an external IP, but the Gateway will be shown as pending and neither pfsense nor any internal clients will be able to connect to the internet anymore.
How can that be? I am by no means an expert, but that just doesn't make sense, does it?
Thanks!
