      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?

            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.
