Description

Since at least one other user confirmed that, filing the bug here - relevant forum thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=88675.0

0. Make a backup of your shaper settings if you have some in place, remove the shaper after that.
1. Go to Firewall - Traffic Shaper - WAN, set up a quick shaper like this

(The bandwidth does not matter for this test, can be empty as well.)
2. Browse for a minute or two to check that the shaper is in place and works (Status - Queues).
3. Remove the shaper.
4. Wash, rinse, repeat steps 1-3 a couple more times if still alive.

This managed to kill WAN in 3-4 cycles on any box I tried. PPPoE with DHCP, cable modem with fixed IP, ... does not matter. (Probably "works" with other interfaces as well)
