      Hi All,

      We have deployed PFSense for securing Servers as Firewall+IDS/IPS. The problem we are facing is it gets rebooted intermittently. The deployment is as below

      WAN –------ PFSense on VM --------- LAN -------- Servers

      Please guide how can we troubleshoot the issue.

      The IDS used is snort with just 3 rules enabled

      1> Emerging Threats
      2> Emerging Scan
      3> Emerging DoS

      Attached is the crash dump.

      Thanks in Advance.

        A page fault in kernel mode, that's never good. Kernel flaw, driver bug, or memory corruption. My bet is on hardware. Memory, PSU, motherboard, or CPU, in order of probability.

          its a VM … unlikely that the host would keep running if it was a hardware issue

            Clean install or upgrade? Versions?

              Every other VM's are running absolutely fine apart from the pfsense. The Install is clean and version is 2.2

              Actual System build is

              2.2-RELEASE (amd64)
              built on Thu Jan 22 14:03:54 CST 2015
              FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p4

              BTW it reboots again. :'(
