      @nikpony honestly say in all the years using pfsense, have never seen such an issue..

      also i tried to disable the DNS Resolver

      What would that have to do with pinging the device, are you trying to ping and access via fqdn - that stops working or via IP?

          @nikpony well if your rules are failing to load, then yeah that could cause no access.. What is in the log when you change the some rule.

          How exactly do you get it back to working, you just stop the firewall and then restart it via console?

            @johnpoz As stopping the firewall it give me access again.
            These are a part of log messages appearing when firewall blocks me.

            It says that dealing with snort, but i tried also to disable it, with no luck.

              @nikpony but your not seeing any issues with loading firewall rules or anyhing of the sort, but snort is blocking you.. Yeah disable it for testing, uninstall if need be..

                @johnpoz It keeps hanging, despite the uninstallation of Snort, what else should i do?
                What type of error log it's more helpful to check?

                    @silence It does not have to do with the rule, it keeps doing it, in every rule or randomly.

                        @silence I wish i could provide more info, but as looking in General Error Logs, there is no something specific.
