Port - PFSense WAN goes offline every Hour

[c.cruz]

@aaronstuder Thanks for your reply. The pfSense appliance is a VM on HyperV.

@c-cruz Did you take a look at this?

I ran pfSense on ESXi before and experienced exactly the same behavior. I ended up putting it on bare metal, as no solutions worked. Rebuilding it, including config takes minutes, so I saw no benefits in virtualizing it, only issues.

@aaronstuder Thanks for your reply, i made the same steps as the guide. The VM is working and i have full connectivity, but after 1 hour the WAN is down. I made this change as you suggested (https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/VirtIO_Driver_Support), now i will monitor what will happen after 1 hour.

@marcinozga Thanks for your reply, i made the change that aaronstuder suggested me. I will post what happens after 1 hour.

Unfortunately, the solution (https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/VirtIO_Driver_Support) that @aaronstuder provided me didnt worked.

@c-cruz You might try the Hyper-V instructions.

Can you upgrade to 2.4.X?

[Alex Sage]

@dustinb3403 Only if he can do it in under one hour

This assumes he's not onsite. . .

Which he must be on site because he's changing the settings in PFSense when it goes offline.

@c-cruz
Do you have all offloading settings disabled in System > Advanced > Networking?

Hardware Checksum Offloading
Hardware TCP Segmentation Offloading
Hardware Large Receive Offloading

[c.cruz]

@black3dynamite Thanks for your reply, yes i have all those options disabled

[c.cruz]

@dustinb3403 Is the version 2.4 released?

[JaredBusch]

[c.cruz]

@jaredbusch Thanks for your reply. My version is the latest one

[Alex Sage]

@c-cruz Did you get it figured out?

[c.cruz]

@aaronstuder No yet, i was looking on internet but without luck.

@c-cruz I am having a similar issue with a new install

Wow. How unlikely is that?
