Weird behaviour

[maverick_slo]

Hi!

Why do I loose SSH to pfsense on LAN when hotplug is detected on WAN?
Or when I disconnect and reconnect pppoe?

This shouldn`t interfiere?

BR,
Greg

Guess it's the state table getting flushed, kicking you out of the GUI and SSH. There was a ticket for this long time ago but it was rejected:

Hmm I will disable state flush and report back…

[maverick_slo]

Yes, that was it.
I would assume only specific gateway states are flushed not all.

@maverick_slo:

I would assume only specific gateway states are flushed not all.

It says: "The monitoring process will flush all states when a gateway goes down if this box is checked."

there isn't a way in pf to kill only states through a specific WAN and have it do anything useful, as the in direction states on the LAN have to go as well (for multi-WAN failover purposes at least, which is the intended use of that option).

Yeah it makes sense :)
