Bug #13729
open
Gateways stuck in Unknown status
0%
Description
My pfSense is virtualized, so its interfaces are always up.
I have a multi-WAN setup with WAN and WAN2 interfaces.
I booted VM today with physical connections on the host for both interfaces unplugged, so pfSense wasn't able to get IP addresses over DHCP from ISPs.
When I later connected physical interfaces, pfSense was able to get IP address and things seemed to work, however gateway status remained "Unknown" forever.

There's a decent chance this is fixed in 2.7/23.01. Please test there.

I'm willing to try, how safe is 2.7 to daily drive without any third-party apps at this point?

I would not recommend it for production, but it should be fine for personal use.

It is for personal home use, so I went ahead and updated to 2.7.0.a.20221209.0600, but unfortunately the issue is still present.
Also I noticed that when pfSense gets IP addresses on both WAN interfaces, routing works, but DNS resolver is not until I manually restart it.
Probably related, if not I'm not sure how to reproduce it outside of this issue.

what virtual environment, host version, etc?

Qemu 7 with 3 virtio network interfaces (WAN, LAN, WAN2), host is x86-64 Alpine Linux that bridges virtual interfaces to physical ones and runs some other VMs as well. Nothing special really.

Were you able to see if dpinger service was started or not?

It didn't, only when I re-applied settings on WAN it caused dpinger to start on all interfaces and they went "Online"
