      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.

                          Hi,

                          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.

                                          That looks like it was taken just after a reboot, not when the problem was happening. No sign of anything getting backed up in there.

                                            And judging by the output, it's still DNSBL getting backed up.
