      @keyser I would not want to rule this out. It's the package "I was most afraid of" to upgrade given it bumped from 7.x to 9.x.

      We don't do "anything funky" through. It's just a bunch of BGP Sessions we're running with Google Cloud VPN. No OSPF/OSPF6, no RIP; In fact we don't redistribute any routes other than "connected" (e.g. static, kernel, ospf/ospfv3). I'll go through the post you mentioned to see if there might be any similarities here.

        Do you have the backtrace? Can you upload the full crash report(s)?

          @stephenw10 I have uploaded the files as a tar Archive.

          As a reference:

          • pfSense-1 is the "usual primary" (currently in persistent CARP maintenance, thus backup), it produced a bunch of crashes out of which one dump was still available.
          • pfSense-2 is the "current primary" (usually backup), I added 4 dumps to the upload.

            Ok these are all identical crashes, on both nodes. So that's definitely a software issue.

            Backtrace:

            Previously that was seen with HAProxy: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15457

            But you're not running HAProxy.

            I do note that in each case it appears an OpenVPN instance is unable to service incoming requests:

            <7>sonewconn: pcb 0xfffff8002a4cd400 (local:/var/etc/openvpn/server2/sock): Listen queue overflow: 2 already in queue awaiting acceptance (1 occurrences), euid 0, rgid 0, jail 0

            Do you have OpenVPN servers running TCP?

              @stephenw10 Yes, we're running two OpenVPN Servers on TCP. One is a pretty boring 12 Clients instance while the other one is one of our 2 primary VPN Services. Both Servers (one on UDP the other one - this one "server2" - on TCP).

              Both usually serve around 120-150 users throughout the day while I cannot really tell how many users are connected at the point in time where the unit panics.

                Hmm, but at least one of those servers is UDP only?

                  @stephenw10 yes, we run udp/1194 (server1, 120-150 users), tcp/1194 (server2, 120-150 users) and tcp/1195 (server3, 10-12 users).

                    Hmm, the OpenVPN message is probably just a symptom then. What do you listening on TCP from?: sockstat -P tcp

                      @stephenw10 Full output (with redacted IPs) below, but major listening daemons are:

                      • nginx (80/18288, from pfSense)
                      • ssh (12689, from pfSense)
                      • openvpn (1194)
                      • isc-dhcpd (520, I switched to kea but it showed same behaviour so I reverted)
                      • node_exporter (9100)
                      • frr (179 /26xx)
