      I have a Netgate SG-4860 running pfSense 2.4.3-RELEASE-p1 and about every week or two it stops responding. It keeps passing traffic. But I cannot ping it, check snmp, log in to the web interface, nor access it through the serial console. I have it sending system logs to a remote syslog server and even those stop coming. The last few entries in the log are nothing out of the ordinary. Usually just dhcp requests from workstations.

      Any suggestions?

            pfSense-pkg-arpwatch removal successfully completed.

            I'll re-post if the problem goes away.

              I would prob chime in on the linked to arp-watch broken thread as well. And maybe even the redmine listed in that thread.

              Mine has been rock solid since removing arpwatch..
