                  Thanks, applying the patch and stopping/started IPsec fixed the issue for me.

                  Not sure how long it was going on, but I found two different pfSense boxes (a SG-1100 and SG-3100) with a site-to-site IPsec VPN with this issue. On the SG-3100, we were seeing weird delays/pauses in OpenVPN traffic. Logging in we saw high CPU load and found the characteristic large number of bzip2 processes compressing ipsec logs. On the SG-1100, didn't really notice anything, but did find that the snmp daemon had died.

                    Ran into this problem also. Disabled the daemon. My next step is to establish site-to-site ipsec tunnel. Is this pcscd required to establish an ip-sec tunnel?

                      No.

                      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                          It's still there, just disabled by default. If someone needs it they can enable it.
