      @TheNarc:

      I'm not sure why CTRL-Z isn't working in my case, but I've tried numerous times.  I also already have sudo installed, but attempting to execute anything with sudo makes the console unresponsive as well.

      Try leaving an ssh session and the console sitting at a root shell so you don't need to get past that step later (just be sure to secure your computer if you leave those open). And rather than running programs through sudo, try launching a shell with sudo: "sudo -s"

      @TheNarc:

      I had updated to the latest pfBlockerNG, but had only restarted the service instead of the machine.  So perhaps my issue is that a full reboot is required.

      A reboot is best because there will still be stale locks out there otherwise.

      @TheNarc:

      Also I did gather the information requested from https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=137103.msg753994#msg753994 and attached it as a TXT file to my earlier post.  But I wasn't sure if that request was directed at me specifically or just anyone still experiencing the issue.

      It's directed at everyone. Even if you took it before, when you are on the latest pfBlocker it might be different. We can't assume the outputs are identical when other factors have changed.

        Unfortunately (in this case, at least) I have root login disabled for SSH.  So my only recourse is to SSH in non-root and then try sudo.  But I don't even receive a password prompt when I try to run things with sudo (I did just try "sudo -s" too).  It just hangs as soon as I press Enter.  However, not a big deal, I'll be able to reset the machine later this evening and I'll see how things go from there.  If I get a 502 again following that, I will re-gather and re-post the requested information.  If it might be helpful to have that information following a reboot but before the 502 error occurs, let me know and I'd be happy to grab that too.  Thanks again.

          Updated pfBlocker and am getting a 504 Gateway Time-out, after letting the page load for 3-4 minutes. Uptime was roughly 4 hours. Rules are also set up auto update every 4 hours I believe.

          Output attached.

            The output still shows it's hung up on the DNSBL daemon. You might manually check the index.php page for dnsbl (linked earlier in this thread) and see if it's the updated code or not.

              The code had not been removed from the index.php file after installing the update. I manually edited it and will report back with any issues.

                Reading through the thread and I get a similar issue but with 504 Gateway Timeout not a 502. Just wanted to confirm this is the same problem.

                PfSense locks up, 504 timeout on web admin. When I go to the machine and use the console via a keyboard, i try and initiate a shell via option 8 and get

                Password for admin@pfSense.rice-bucket.com:
                *** Welcome to pfSense 2.4.0-RELEASE (amd64) on pfSense ***

                And nothing further. The same if I ssh in. Via the shell I can use CTRL-Z and type reboot to reboot the server.

                I am using pfBlocker, but did turn it off. However did not restart and its now locked again. I will reinstall pfsense fresh (this is an upgrade from 2.3 to latest 2.4) and restore from backup for now.

                        Can someone with the DNSBL active and as the 'probable cause' of 502 issues perhaps try and see if adding code below to the top of the index.php would help?

                        ignore_user_abort(true); 
                        set_time_limit(0);
                        

                        I could reproduce xmlrpc locks sometimes hanging php due to 'lost' locks and made a PR for that:
                        (https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/ee0e2507b819c142b7ad6c331d401002188f1ab8), i dont have/use dnsbl myself so cant properly check.. Did try and hit index.php with AB and putting sleeps inside the index.php the code, but couldnt make it 'fail' in a way that it would just completely hang as described in the thread..

                        Not sure if it will help for pfB.. but it is 'somewhat similar' and might be an easy fix.. or not..

                          It is, I had a 502 today but unfortunately was not able to get the requested information. If and when it does again I will post it here.

                            Have upgraded to Coreboot 0.11 and Pfblocker 2.1.2 through the console connection. Have no access to the GUI via the normal LAN interface even immediately after a reboot, but can access the GUI login on the DMZ interface but it gives a 504 error timeout when I try to login. Problem only showed up after upgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.4.0

                              I successfully applied the 2.1.2 pfBlockerNG update.  I did a reboot when the update completed.  I am able to access the web GUI and SSH with no issues. I'll report back later today to make sure I can still access the web gui and SSH after it has been running for awhile.

                              It has been several days since I applied the pfBlockerNG 2.1.2 update. Everything is running normal. The upgrade fixed my 502 Bad Gateway and SSH logon issues.

                                getting the same issue after upgrade from 2.3.x to 2.4.0 even with the latest pfB update. Uptime varies between 15-30 hours till its happening again.

                                  Well now I'm getting a 504 Gateway timeout and no console. It was up for about 10 hours before the GUI and console went out. See attached text file for the requested info.
