You need to look for anything that indicates it restarted. No. Uptime is time since it was booted.

Thanks johnpoz. Besides naming conflicts with other devices, does domain name defined in pfSense have any consequence to DNS on subnetworks. I am still not sure why the firewall has a domain name definition.

I am not doing any HTTPS traffic inspection. I will check, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be turned on as default. It turns out, the phone didn't have net connection. It uses cell when it says "Connected, no internet". Once I put it into airplane mode and turned WiFi on, it wouldn't pull up any pages. Oddly enough, it let Hangout messages and Allo messages through. That still doesn't explain why my laptop worked fine. The other thing I noticed is that the firewall isn't logging any packets from my laptop as allowed or denied. I have turned logging on for all the rules that I'm trying to follow on the log. Another thing, the when the log does show any action from my laptop, it's usually just the web portal itself. Not any page requests. I have gone to my wits end with pfSense. Need some sort of help Please

Yes I can see now that I was in a double nat scenario. Will change that. Thanks y'all for your feeback. Much appreciated!

you can change the bootloader/menu timeout https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=133220

Solved: Debian Bug with not reading the interface config correct.

Well that seemed to have worked but now i can not connect to the PFsense in my browser even with 192.168.1.1 goes straight to my website now.

I have a number of physical networks and VLANs all working happily with vswitches in pfSense running inside ESXi. Maybe it would help us to help you if you told us the IPs for each of the networks.  I'm having trouble understanding why you have physical port + VLAN for the same networks eg LAN & Wifi.  Your most recent description of what you want to achieve is different to your original post.  The more detail you give us, the easier it will be for us to understand what you are trying to do and then help you.

Why don't you put your ISP's DNS servers into the DHCP server settings?  Then all of the clients would use those DNS servers. And if you're not running internal DNS, why does it really matter which DNS servers you're using? Did you Google solutions? https://serverfault.com/questions/318563/how-to-push-my-own-dns-server-to-openvpn

It's better to use a monitoring agent tailored for monitoring. Whether that is the built-in SNMP daemon, the NET-SNMP package, Zabbix Agent, or NRPE is up to whatever you use as a monitoring/alerting system.

Thanks for the fast analysis! We'll run a memtest on the machine and look into replacing the box with modern hardware in the foreseeable future.

@vronp: @Derelict: I had to replace the realtek daughtercard in my old jetway because of the same sort of thing. It would seemingly go deaf and would manifest itself as failed DHCP renewals from the cable modem. Same router, same slot, but an intel daughtercard and I never saw it again. One of those anecdotal stories about realtek. (I did packet capture prior to swapping it out and the modem/isp were doing everything they should be doing.) Ugh….  Since your post I've done a lot more research and now see that Realtek NICs are a major issue.  Unfortunately, I've got a small single-board computer with NICs on the board..... Just to cap off this thread…..I've found some mention of a v1.93 driver that may have improved things....

What you describe isn't a "true transparent bridge" but a "half bridge". And currently pfSense cannot act in that role.
