Hi all
I installed my opnsense on a dell r610, and it is great except for one stupid thing: it losses WAN IP after rebooting and I don't know why. I have to restore the most recent backup to get the WAN IP back for some reason even though my WAN is on DHCP.
This is my version:
OPNsense 20.7-amd64
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p7-HBSD
OpenSSL 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020
At first it was suggested to me that the issue was I was running a live image, so I redid the install and made sure I am not on live image.
But that did not fix the issue.
Then it was suggested that I export the config and reimport it and see if it held. I tested it and it worked that one time.
Then recently I had another power outage and AGAIN I lost the wan IP and had to restore from the last backup AGAIN.
I also tried to just outright reconfigure the wan interface to use dhcp, but it did not reacquire the dhcp IP.
This is getting ridicules. WT#BDTY$GB am I keep losing my wan IP? It is on freaking DHCP for gods sake.
Help?

Do you have a VLan on it?
Is the interface the same after reboot and shows that something is connected under "assignment"?
no vlan, just configure the interface for dhcp.
interface is the same after reboot. it just shows no IP on it.
