Fall back to full FSCK - Problem
-
Hello,
I have problem in PFsense version is 2.3.4-RELEASE-p1. It is restarting on its own and the message i get is something about "Fall back to full FSCK" Im wondering why. But one day i found out it is happening when i remote our server (WIN RDP) using its domain name, i register my IP address to our hosting to get one. But using its Ip address it is not restarting.
Hope someone can help me..
Thanks a lot.

Without the contents of the crash report / panic information there is no way to know what is happening.
The "fsck" error could just be the firewall running a disk check after a crash and not anything to do with the cause of the crash.
Does it show a crash report in the dashboard after it reboots? If so, what's in it?
If not, you may have to keep a console connected (serial or VGA, preferably serial) and hopefully capture the crash data as it happens.

No crash report on the dashboard after restarting.
I will do my best to capture the error and post it here.

My suspicion is, It is restarting when someone remote our the server using its the Domain name (or computer name not ip address). Because before i register the IP address to have a name we are using ip address to remote the server and im not having this kind of issue.

This can't be a suspicion, except if you refuse to check your firewall, the rules present on WAN.
There should be none **, and in that case : impossible, non one can connect to your pfSense.Btw : you just showed that you missed one of the biggest concepts of the Internet : people rarely use IP's, or, they work well. Humans like addresses like test-domaine.fr, which are translated directly to :
test-domaine.fr has address 5.196.43.182 test-domaine.fr has IPv6 address 2001:41d0:2:927b::15Remember that addresses or URL like test-domaine.fr aren't use on the Internet : you see them on your screen, they are looked up to IP addresses and that it.
The fact that you use a domaine name - like my test-domaine.fr - doesn't mean that people can find you more easily, or not. True is, domaine name are public. But you don't care, you have a firewall, and nothing initialed from the outside come in. That was the very reason you put the firewall in place.
** if there are rules ….. well, you shouldn't. One never does before all consequences are understood ;)
Btw : Never ever expose the pfSense GUI to the outside (WAN or Internet).
