      @ezhawk Each firewall is getting a different public ip. That complicates things.

      Test with the same public IP for each device.

        I cannot run both at the same time with having the same IP and I also don't have static IPs. As I've said multiple times, behind pfSense it'll work for a few weeks and the stop. The temp fix is to spoof and get a new IP. I had the Ecobee behind the a Cisco with the same IP for more than 2 months and it never dropped once. I've been through more than a dozen different IPs trying to figure it out by using spoofing methods. The IP itself isn't the issue.

          And just to confirm when this happens everything else behind pfSense remains functional? Only the Ecobee seems to be affected?

            That is correct. Every other device that goes through the pfSense works normally.
