24.1 Legacy Series / Re: Quality Problems

Each ISP is different however, I've found the default gateway WAN_DHCP6 monitoring to be really flaky. In my case it just uses an fe80 address and the latency and packet loss are all over the place, to the point of making the interface appear "down" due to packet loss and causing issues.
For my WAN_DHCP6 I've always had to use a separate, external monitor IP. That stays super consistent and has essentially zero packet loss. In my case, I'm using Quad9 for my WAN_DHCP6 monitor (2620:fe::9).
For my WAN_DHCP monitor I'm just using the default value that OPNsense discovers when it requests an IP. Again in my case, its worked well for years.
I have the byte value for both of my monitors at 3.
