[SOLVED] Dpinger broken

[DEC670airp414user]

This is an issue still with both the latest business and community
I've changed probe time to 8 and 10

If a vpn connection suddenly stops or is restarted manually it is never monitored again until you edit the gateway and simply click save

It goes green again and starts pinging at the set interval

when you say you changed probe time to 8 and 10? did you mean:
Probe Interval: 8
Time Period: 10
?

Well, turns out this one is a combined OPNsense AND layer 8 issue:
https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/6907
Increasing "Time period" to a higher value allowed Dpinger to come up again.

I was looking at this, but has everyone having issues actually changed their "Time Period" from the default of 60? because that's well above the 2.1 times the default probe time of 1.
I hadn't touched the time period, everything was default but if a gateway went offline it doesn't come back up without intervention.

Is the github link a separate issue and all we need to do is up the probe time so Dpinger doesn't just stop?

I'm going to test the following:
 Probe Interval: 5
 Time Period: 30
 Loss Interval: 4

Not sure if I need to change the Loss Interval though from default for this longer Probe Time.

upon further testing and much waiting,  yes i believe this is actually working

not they way i had expected but it does recover and go back online for all 4 tunnels i have

Dpinger is back to normal functionality

No longer requiring external dns....

Update to 24.1
