PFsense AirVPN disconnects and errors

[dssguy11 4]

Hey guys, been with Air for about a year.  Have it running on PFsense, get 70mb out of the tunnel, 60mb inside the tunnel.  Love the service.   I started noticing disconnects and flakey internet connection recently.  It ended up being Apinger so i fixed that, but while investigating, reading all the pfsense logs i noticed a ton of WAN IP changes and errors.  If anyone can help it would be much appreciate it..

 

Here is my PFsense general error log

Losing the WAN connection will obviously make OpenVPN disconnect as well.

You should look for issues on your ISP side, there should be a reason why your modem loses the connection every once in a while.

thanks for the reply Zheng.  I'm pretty sure it isn't my ISP because when the VPN goes down I can switch over to non VPN and it works.  it looks like all of the errors are just on the VPN.
