Hello,

can someone tell me how I can realize a forced separation for Germany with the Firewalla Gold. That is in Germany, my provider every 24 hours a new IP vergeb and the connection is disconnected. I want to get ahead of this disconnection and disconnect and reconnect every 24 hours at 5:30.

  I tested this once and created the following file:
  /home/pi/.firewalla/config/user_crontab.

  The content is then:
  3 4 * * root killall -HUP pppd

  Unfortunately this is not executed. What could be the reason for this?

  @Reiner M.
  
  Did you reboot after editing the file? It won't take effect until after a reboot.

  A reboot was performed without success.

  Support has sent me a solution that works.

  30 5 * * * sudo systemctl restart firerouter_pppd@pppoe0

  I think this should be part of the gui!

  This is just an odd behavior, why should it be a generic thing?

  Because here in germany we have this shitty 24h forced disconnect by the ISP. In the worst case it is disconnecting in the middle of the day while a phone call. Therefore it is a selling point here in germany.

   

  Of course I can use cronjobs with firewalla, but I don't want frickling around and I can't edit this via app... You are forcing us to use the app for configuration, so it should be in the app.

   

  Anyway thank you for your great product!
