        @droidlimits Start with System > General logs...that should give you date/time, reason LAN link when down and what caused the issue. Hope LAN NIC isn't going bad.

        pfSense+ 23.09 Lenovo Thinkcentre M93P SFF Quadcore i7 dual Raid-ZFS 128GB-SSD 32GB-RAM PCI-Intel i350-t4 NIC, -Intel QAT 8950.
        pfSense+ 23.09 VM-Proxmox, Dell Precision Xeon-W2155 Nvme 500GB-ZFS 128GB-RAM PCIe-Intel i350-t4, Intel QAT-8950, P-cloud.

              @droidlimits sshguard logs that whenever a log file is rotated. It’s benign.

              Looks like at 13:00 a NIC lost link, which restarts most everything. And at 8:07 it rebooted. Power loss?

              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.

                  Jan 26 13:00:44 	kernel 		re1: watchdog timeout
                  Jan 26 13:00:44 	kernel 		re1: link state changed to DOWN
                  

                  Try the alternative Realtek driver. Since I assume you can't change the NICs.
