    @stephenw10 This is my final note since it seem you will always look at this as an endpoint. It doesn't appear, it actually is, the facts are the facts. Still, moderator usually have a way to remove posts and ban single users, not just the entire herd, or at least the ones use. Perhaps those are more advance, or perhaps netgate forums lack that functionality. I never said negate took this issue lightly, I was just looking for some feedback. I have seen this process many times and for the looks of it, pfsense CE is very much in maintenance mode. Just because netgate wants to be politically correct does not mean it is not. The fact are there and they are fallowing the same path as others did. Again, this subject is just becoming redundant and it is affecting other users in the forum.

    Power cycling modem and router/firewall should do the trick 99% of the time. Shut both down then power up the modem and wait until it is fully booted before powering up the router/firewall. On a side note, whenever I set up new edge device my IP changes (the modem sees a new MAC address). I then clone my MAC address from like 10 routers ago and reboot the modem and it issues me the same IP that I've been using for years. Comcast won't sell me a static without converting to a business class connection but my dynamic has been essentially static, so why bother?

    My home setup gets shutdown at the end of each day ….. so no long durations of up-time, but there have been days where system locks up and seems to do it more than once in a day when its misbehaving ...... have to perform a power reset ...... The Final release version of 2.1 is unstable on my hardware. There was a time in the early 2.1 beta it was rock solid. One of these days when I feel up to it, I will investigate the logs to see if their are any clues as to why the lockups.

    There was an effort to write an Android app to make interaction with the webgui easier on a small screen: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,61416.0.html Not really ideal though in my opinion. I think most people here would agree that pfSense would be better with greater front-end/back-end separation. At the moment it's difficult to write an alternative gui because so much is tied to the front end code. Steve

    Extraneous Logging Entries

    Before the "unseen default deny rule" I put explicit deny rule/s on WAN that block and not log whatever garbage there is on WAN that I cannot do anything about and do not care about. For example, one of my ISPs has a lot of rubbish floating about on their internal network that provides the final metro wireless hop to us. Status->System Logs->Settings you can also disable logging of the default deny rule. Then put rules yourself to explicitly block and log stuff you want to see. But usually you want to see the stuff that you are not expecting, i.e. things that do not match any of the rules you thought up.

    More importantly: why is your ssh port of your firewall open to the internet at all? If you REALLY have to have it open, at least move it to something else than 22.

    Kernel Panic m_getzone: m_getjcl: invalid cluster

    thanks for your answer… After a few weeks after i posted the previous message - i have restarted pfSense (with the usb keyboard connected) and i somehow had another Kernel Panic with the same message, so i guess connecting that USB keyboard wasn't really the solution. After googling around i found that if i add "hw.pci.enable_msix=0" in the loader.conf should bring the system up to bootable state. And indeed it did, although i still keep the USB keyboard connected to have peace of mind. I'll keep your proposition at hand just in case i experience the problem again. Thanks again.
