PFSense - Gateway - Gateway Monitoring
To monitor the Gateway to check it is up.
Navigate to System → Routing → Gateways → WAN_PPPOE:
- Click Edit.
- Monitor IP: 9.9.9.9.
NOTE: This allows pfSense to make sure the WAN_PPPOE connection is up.
- Not all Gateways respond to ICMP request so this gets around that issue.
- This is needed to control what happens when your connection goes down.
- You can use any reliable IP you want.
- Make sure you check the IP responds to a PING manually so you know it will work for the monitor.
- pfSense creates a static route to 9.9.9.9, which is hidden.
