      Team,

      I'm using ADSL internet link connected to pfsense for our clients. The problem is if the ADSL link goes down due to an issue from the ISP end, i wont be aware, the users will be the first to report, which makes my manager to stare on me.

      Is there a way by which we can monitor the link via pfsense and to get alerts if the link goes down?

          If the internet link is down, you probably won't be able to get an alert.  you'll probably want to monitor externally.
