      Huh, well that's..... unexpected! There was some speculation that it could be a race condition between multiple processes accessing the same socket. Changing the CPU frequency could affect that.

        Good morning,

        i had another Crash in the morning now with powerd, then thats not the resolution for the crashes. I uploaded the logs bug i think the crash report is the same.

          Yes identical crash.

          What's connected to igc0? It flapping a lot:

          <6>igc0: link state changed to DOWN
          <6>igc0: link state changed to UP
          <6>igc0: link state changed to DOWN
          <6>igc0: link state changed to UP
          <6>igc0: link state changed to DOWN
          <6>igc0: link state changed to UP
          <6>igc0: link state changed to DOWN
          <6>igc0: link state changed to UP

            That's one of the LAGG ports. I have disabled the port for the moment.

              Hmm, I can find no way of disabling IPv6 as a source address in tailscale.

              One thing you could try is disabling IPv6 link-local addresses on the interface. Of course that breaks IPv6 if you need it. It also doesn't disable it on localhost so tailscale can still try to bind to that.

                  Same backtrace?

                  Are you able to test disabling link-local IPv6 addresses?

                    Thats the backtrace. I dont not find where i can disable the link-local IPv6 address.

                      So, yes, it's identical.

                      You have to add a loader value so run:
                      echo net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal=0 >> /boot/loader.conf.local

                      Then reboot.

                      Then check the output from ifconfig again. You should find no link-local IPv6 addresses. Only the tailscale interface itself should have any IPv6 address.

                        Hey guys, I know this is quite an old topic, but I may have experienced the same crash due to a tailscaled process on my PfSense. Were there any resolutions to this issue? I can share a backtrace of the crash if that would help, but from a brief comparison of others here, it seems that it is the same issue.

                          Identical backtrace?

                          https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15503

                          Do you have something listening on IPv6 that doesn't have to?

                            @stephenw10 Hi, yeah, I would say so.

                            This was at the end of the dump file after I had to restart the pfsense router manually.

                            I don't believe we have anything listening on IPv6 that doesn't have to. We have IPv6 enabled on the WAN interface and also on the VLAN that office users are connected to. And to clarify, by 'listening on IPV6' do you mean some interfaces in the pfsense have IPV6 enabled or some other service connected to pfsense is listening on IPV6?

                              I mean some service that's listening on IPv6 addresses when it doesn't need to.

                              So, for example, when we saw this before there were services set to simply listen on 'all' interfaces and all IP addresses, specifically Bind. And that included IPv6 link-local and localhost addresses where it would never actually see any connections.
                              However if that's tailscale I don't think there are any interface binding options. Yet.

                                @stephenw10 I don't think so. While I do have Bind running, it is not set to listen on all interfaces and is in IPV4 mode only. I'm not aware of anything else that might fit the description. Isn't tailscale listening on all interfaces by default?

                                  @dovh said in pfSense Crash "Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode":

                                  Isn't tailscale listening on all interfaces by default?

                                  Yes it is. And that's a problem because I don't believe there's any way to limit what it listens on.

                                    How often are you seeing this? Can you replicate it on demand?

                                    We don't yet have a way to replicate it locally which makes debugging difficult.

                                      Are you actually using IPv6? Otherwise you can try disabling IPv6 link-local addresses as I outlined above.

                                        @stephenw10 I have had it happen once now. I have a hunch that it happened when a new user joined our Tailnet from a local LAN network behind pfsense and tried accessing some route advertised by the Tailscale package on pfsense. I will try replicating it, but I think it's rather random as it only happened once, and it has been up and running for some months before.

                                          @stephenw10 Yes, we do use IPv6, so disabling it is not really an option for us.

                                            You're not using IPv6 inside the tailnet though? Or explicitly as a tunnel endpoint?
