Constantly having to power cycle our pfsense we bought from pfsense.
-
I'm having an issue with my pfsense router where it's requiring us to power cycle it often. This device is less than a few months old. Bought off the pfsense store. Here are the system logs and I'm wondering if the constant "reloading endpoints" in the logs has anything to do with this?
Thanks guys.

why do you need to powercycle it ? nothing in those logs indicate a crash.
about the reloading endpoints:
pfsense thinks your vpn (or its gateway ip) is going down and thus restarts to try and reconnect …. this causes a whole bunch of other things to restart aswell.
try disabling gateway-monitoring for the openvpn, see if that "solves" it.also, if you believe it is a hardware issue: contact pfsense support and they'll handle the warranty/rma

Where is the gateway monitoring for openvpn? I don't see that option anywhere in the webgui.
When it happens, everyone inside the network can work fine, but they just cannot get out on the internet.
-
System: Gateways: Edit gateway => disable gateway monitoring for the openvpn.
When it happens, everyone inside the network can work fine, but they just cannot get out on the internet.
Can you still login to the pfSense webgui at this point? ==> check logs when the problem is occuring, it might indicate the cause.
Can you ping to a public ip (like 8.8.8.8) ? ==> if you can still ping that ip but have no internet, then you have a DNS issue.in other words, we need more data.
you can ofcourse just contact pfSense support that was included with your purchase … but if this ends up being an end-user issue, then you might waste precious minutes in the contract. (I have no clue how the official support works, so i'm not sure how the "billing" works)
