Bug #7380
closedWAN DHCP Gateway Outside of Subnet Causing Route Issues
100%
Description
When deploying PFSense in OVH's public cloud, they assign a IPv4 address via DHCP in a /32 subnet. Naturally, with such a captive subnet, the default gateway will reside outside of the subnet. This causes problems with the /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-dhclient-script.
As it is currently written, the script will attempt to add the default route via: $ROUTE add default $router (see https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/src/usr/local/sbin/pfSense-dhclient-script#L232). Since the gateway is outside of the subnet, there is no route to reach said gateway, causing the route assignment to fail and thus no connectivity.
I fixed this in my copy of the 2.4 PFSense March 11 nightly build by adding a line to add a host route to the gateway on the particular interface. See my branch here: https://github.com/doransmestad/pfsense/blob/ds-dhcp-gw-out-of-subnet/src/usr/local/sbin/pfSense-dhclient-script#L240.
I opened this bug on Redmine to provide some tracking of the issue, and this being my first experience contributing to PFSense, I wasn't sure if you all would be receptive to a pull request out of nowhere. Please let me know how you would like me to proceed.
Thanks!

Seems like potential large impact(s) on 2.4.0 Will need a PR and signed CLA prior to integration

works as expected on 2.5.0.a.20200426.2333
I can see local route to the router ip address, like:
default 10.1.0.1 UGS vtnet1 10.1.0.1 0c:dd:ae:ed:96:01 UHS vtnet1
