what hardware is it?
check in the bios if you have something about intel SGX and try to disable it

Anything in the BIOS that can be switched off for the Intel secure key ring / random number generator ?

You may be better looking in the FreeBSD forums, I'm not sure if pfSense even uses the Intel RNG maybe @jimp or someone else from @netgate
