everything stops working

zerokool

used pfsense for years. still hate and do not use linux.

for some reason the os just "stops working" no fucking dhcp no ping just dead in the fucking water. all i do is. whatever? open package manager. boom pfsense died. open the logfile? good luck! this installation worked fine for a week.
was running pfblocker but my firewall as very unstable with it so attempting to disable shitblocker the firewall.. you guessed it. it died. no ping response no fuck nothing. just reset back to factory...

why is/has this been an issue for so many years? like for real WHAT THE FUCK am i doing wrong? this is brand new alderlake i5 pc.

this is like apple. just reset it to factory and start over.

Fitting name.

@zerokool Agree on the fitting name and the post appears as troll.

What do you see at the console what that happens?

If it happens spontaneously and nothing is logged it's probably a hardware issue.

@jarhead thats a fitting name for a sandbag.. Guess you never seen the movie hackers? Busy with mud in your mouth?

I have 3 pfsense units the netgate hardware is trash and Ive had to reset the pos to default 30-40 times before it wants to boot with the openvpn / dyndns settings. Leave it alone and its fine for a year at a time. The stand alone pc's appear to be different.

This brand new pc runs windowz just fine, vmware, and server 2022, centos, but pfsense sucks a fat one? Ive literally reset this pos 3 times in the last 24 hours. It stops responding to any network requests at all. It can communicate outside but not inside. Pings google from console. But clients cannot even get a dhcp address. Its like the internal network stack takes a fat shit on itself.
2.5.2 appears more stable than 2.6.0

Nope, never saw it.

Do you know what PEBCAK is?
This is clearly a case of it.
Maybe you should try to learn what you're doing, it's very clear you you don't.
