Hi,
I'm refreshing this topic to thanks franco for your suggestion and to leave more information for anyone who would have same or similar problem in future. For me removing physical interface from PPoE configuration solved most of my problems with WAN's connection stability.
I searched a lot of threads and tried a lot of options, including:
- https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=41574.0
- https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=28508.0
- tried most of tunables from https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=37006.30
and many others over Internet, but still there was same pattern:
After removing interface from PPPoE in Point-to-Point section, I no longer see these information in general log. In result I have setup:
WAN -> PPPoE -> vlan01 -> physical interface (igc0).
What's funny, I ended with this setup after taking together information from older and newer topics that pointed igc0 and vlan01 should be assigned to PPPoE. I guess that 40hzshadow ended with same result.
