Yes, Bridging was disabled when I used macvlan, and tried both bonding enabled/disabled.
Just enabled bridging today as I have to switch to ipvlan for monitoring; so far, left the server inactive, and S3 triggered the sleep schedule, woke it up through pfsense no problem twice. Though, it might be too little of a time to conclude yet but I got 3 crashes in 2 days, and just so happened when I updated to 6.12.9, might be coincidence, IDK.
Just to clarify, disabled Bridging is the setting under "Settings > Network Settings > Enable Bridging = No; Enable Bonding = Yes" , right?
Because that's what I've been using for months, though, the Docker Delugevpn, is still set to bridge mode as that is the only option that works properly.
