Interesting.
That restores the connection. (I initially did it on the LAN, but reconnected
the LAN and did the same with the WAN, as soon as "ifconfig XXX up" was run it
was up again.)
What does that tell us?
For the record I am now running RC2 on two sites, the other remains stable (as
it has been for years...) curiously it is on a different ISP and ~50M wireless
tunnel.
Kind regards

re-negotiate its connection? Cause the ISP end to wake up?
what if you just force pfsense to bring down and back up your WAN port?
ifconfig XXX down; ifconfig XXX up
where XXX is your wan ethernet device name, such as em1 or fxp1.
