      Ok
      Will monitor on console and post results when a crash occurs.

        What exactly happens when it crashes? Stops responding? Reboots?

          Internet access disappears and connectivity networks connected to it goes. It does not reboot
          I have rebooted and the problem goes away until the next time.

            So you're still able to connect to the 4100 itself when this happens? At the GUI? Via the serial console?

              @stephenw10 Yes I can get to the GUI.
              I have connected a PC via Putty to the console, just seeing the menu options so far, and the problem has not happened for two weeks. Will the console show messages when it crashes?

                @feisal Depends on the type of crash.

                You may want to upgrade to 23.05.1

                    Sounds like it isn't crashing then if you're still able to connect to the GUI.
                    Try to ping out from pfSense itself when this happens. How does it fail?

                      Since I posted, It has not crashed at all.

                        Hmm, so maybe something changed locally?

                          I am running syslog logging to a remote machine so as not to clutter the 4100 with logs, but that was in place before the crash. Not sure what could have changed. I login every day to check but so far it has been solid.
