I need a WAN refresh key

I urgently need a button on my WAN connection that will simply refresh the interface, I know this can be done through scripting etc. but if there was a UI element for this my use case would be feature matched to OPNSense which would be amazing. The issue that I face an likely several others do as well is CGNAT with ATT fiber. Their stupid crappy gateways do allow IP passthrough that gives you a public IP but its fickle and will randomly jump back to issuing a private IP. Some of us that run Alta in homelab scenarios probably feel this pain as if I have no public IP I have no working forwarded services from my homelab. I know business is what matters but I am a partner and I have had to put a pause on selling Alta as we were having issues and they have all been taken care of in the past few firmware updates so I am really excited to make this my obvious choice for business purposes. Thank you again for the fast development its so refreshing to see a product move so quickly. If you need any more input or have questions let me know I am very invested in this issue.

Would that be a button to refresh the IP address being received by the router, like a DHCP release/renew? Or more to just refresh the Interface to display whatever address is currently assigned to the WAN interface?

Either way, sounds useful enough to me. Maybe a screenshot of how it’s implimented in OPNSense might be a useful point of comparison as well :slight_smile:

I will try and get into my OPNSense instance, currently you can click on the WAN port and hover here to see the IP like this,

but yes either a release/renew would be great or shut the interface off for a second and back on. Its so stupid because ATT is the one known to have this issue. You have to give the ATT gateway the expected MAC and its supposed to allocate the public IP to that interface, it works for days, or weeks sometimes but just randomly shoots back a private IP. The best part is Alta has excellent MAC spoofing so I have the OPNSense interface and the Route10 using the same MAC so that makes it so convenient.
