      Web GUI works temporary when i use option 16  (restart PHP-FPM) but after a short time it stops working again. The connections remain active and everything works fine even though the web GUI not accessible.

          I have followed the pfsense guide to resolving web gui login issues and still unable to resolve this problem.

          I can access the web gui BUT only for a few minutes after option 16 RESTART PHP-FPM.  Then it doesn't allow connection and i must use option 16 again.

          Anyone help me please?

            The SYN retransmit looks like there is nothing accepting the connection.. Would think nginx aint running then..
            Can you try when the problem occurs?:

            sockstat -4L | grep nginx
            

            Then while trying to access the webgui:

            pfctl -ss | grep 443
            

            Anything special configured/installed? bridge/HA/squid/snort/suricata/other? Any portforwards that might be preventing traffic reaching the webgui?
