      I've got two networks Site A and Site B.
      Both pfsense instances are the default gateways for each site.

      I will eventually be adding more hosts to this TINC mesh VPN network (hence why I'm using TINC, and not OpenVPN or IPSEC).

      Site A config:
      WAN: siteA.fqdn.org
      LAN: 172.19.0.0/16
      Lan IP: 172.19.2.1

      Site B config:
      WAN: siteB.fqdn.org
      LAN: 172.25.0.0/24
      Lan IP: 172.25.0.1

      The gateways can ping each other, but can't ping behind each other reliably (172.19.2.1 can't ping 172.25.0.10 for example). Some hosts work intermittantly, others fail with "ping: sendto: host is down". That may be beyond the scope of this question.

      The main issue I'm having is a random restart of the "tincd" process on Site A. The default logging level is too low to get anything useful. Even killing the process and starting it manually only gets a cryptic "Got TERM signal" with no indication of the signal source.

      Could it be some buried watchdog somewhere? Both hosts are running 2.4.4-1-RELEASE and tinc-1.0.35
