Good evening,
I am unsure what is going on and unfortunately can't find logs that help me out. I am running a FreeNAS with a couple of plugins, Plex and Transmission. I have a pfSense that runs the whole of the network, and one of the things that I have done is set up a VPN and have certain traffic, among which the FreeNAS is included, that routes through the VPN. Now, I have set up my FreeNAS to sit on .23 and it uses the VPN and everything is cool and dandy. Furthermore, the jails are set up to use DHCP (I tried static first) which the MAC are added to the DHCP server on the pfSense box. The jails are 60 and 61.
So, the problem is that every...maybe hourish? the jails just stop getting internet. They can ping around the network but they cannot ping out to the internet. Not 8.8.8.8 or DNS. Currently I have a cron script that runs every 30 min to do:
/etc/rc.d/netif restart
dhclient epairb1
This magically fixes everything.
I have no idea what's happening or where the root cause is. The FreeNAS itself has no problems either and it's also going through the VPN as well, thus I don't think this is the problem.
Thank you for your help. I apologize if this is the wrong spot to put this, but it seemed the place to go.
