I believe the issue is with the arpwatch binaries. After a couple of days, I'm unable to stop arpwatch which I have running on 3 interfaces (em2, em0.5, em0.10). killall doesn't work and when I reboot, it hangs until I manually shut off the router. I'm still testing this, but I left the package install, but I removed binaries and re-installed them from http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:11:x86:64/latest/All/arpwatch-2.1.a15_10.txz. Both repositories have the same arpwatch version but the file size of the package was different by 1 or 2 KBs

Kinda scary that the package is still in the official repository.. If you cant fix it / dont want to fix it atleast delete it from available packages!

I would like to find the time to troubleshoot this and prove its arpwatch... But its difficult to install and then leave running when your pfsense could hang up at any time after working fine for time. Might be away when it goes down, and then blocked from getting into my network.

We have opened a bug report here https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8620
Any input from arpwatch users is welcome. Thanks!

i'll add my findings to the bug report

I have the same problems as everyone else. Pfsense hangs and the only way to get it back is a hard reset. i noticed that any client that has a static IP set drops and loose connection when the lease is up for renew.
Don't see anything in the logs related to arpwatch. -
@dayve please post it in the bug report as well

Same problem here with arpwatch. The database hung up, Pfsense web interface and ssh hung up too, but routing is still working. I cannot even uninstall it using the GUI. How to uninstall it?

@dpa please post it on redmine so the devs can see it
