      I added DNS Forwarder and DHCP server modules to my pfSense box (1.2.3-RC1) and now I can't access my WebGUI. I didn't change any rules or port settings so don't know why this occurred. What is the process name of DNS Forwarder?  I tried "ps -ax | more" and don't see a possible match in the process list. Can anyone help me?

        DNS forwarder is called dnsmasq
        The DNS server (tinydns), I believe is called dnscache

        Try some of the other suggestions here:

          I tried the suggestions listed in the above link before I posted here. I'm really locked out of the webGUI and don't know why. Could the latest snort-dev build lock me out? I don't use offender blocking (I simply got too many false positives and found it annoying) so why am I having such problems?

              @chpalmer:

              Do you mean selection (11) "Restart webConfigurator"?  If so, I also tried that. Same problem. I'm really confused…

              Attached is a graphic from my log. Can anyone decipher what "No free leases" means? And why does it repeat this error so much?
