First Ever crash

[troyborg]

Yesterday (Dec. 17th 2017 around midnight) my pfsense router randomly crashed.

I was playing my Xbox One, when it happened, I noticed the game couldn't communicate with the servers, then I heard my PC say it lost connection to my teamspeak server.  Then a few seconds later I hear the pfsense PC do its POST beep.

I submitted the crash report, was wondering what caused it?

After it came back up I noticed 2.4.2 was available so I had it update to that.

So…  Have you been running it for an hour or 5 years?

Have you checked syslog to learn what caused the crash…that should have been your first step before posting!

Been running it since March 12, 2016.
If you're wondering about 2.4.2    I've been running that no issues for like 25 days.

I checked the system.log and all I see is this…

I was hoping to get something like this, where they could see my report I submitted via my IP.

No idea.  I generally don't even worry about reboots unless they are chronic.

I have never had any computer of any kind that didn't reboot ever in 6 months or a years time.  It would be nice though.

Nice run time!
Last machine I ran updates on had 102 days on it, but then had to reboot it for the update  :'(
