      This is happened on my amd machine, Motherboard A68N-5745 AMD A10-5745M, but not happened on intel machine. But when i rebooted manually all captive portal configuration that i save run smoothly
      Is this software bug or bios bug?

        How exactly is it 'freezing'? Stops handing out dhcp leases? Stops passing all traffic? Loses link?

        Hard to imagine it's anything in the BIOS. It far more likely something in ipfw blocking traffic.

          Well, geez, with the weather we had recently, what do you expect? 😁

          It might help if you describe what you mean by "freezing? What's failing or not working? Can you ping the firewall? Beyond? A little info would be useful, as my crystal ball is busted.

          I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            All connection from lan (Captive portal selected interface) are lost, i can't ping access web admin from client or vice versa, but wan connection not interupted, i can ping or connect to internet via pfsense console or from another interface that does not selected on captive portal.

              But the interfaces do not lose link? Do they still hand out DHCP leases?

              If you're unable to send any traffic at all it sounds like the ipfw rules are not being generated or maybe loaded correctly after making a change. Try running ipfw show at the command line when it's working and when it isn't and compare.

                @stephenw10 The interfaces what captive portal selected lose link at all, but on my intel machine its okay, might be this is bios bug.

                  @dhmyess said in Ethernet LAN freezing when saving captive portal configuration:

                  Very very unlikely. I can't imagine how the BIOS could possible effect this.

                      The config is different? Or are you actually restoring the config onto both machines?

                      I would bet it's different.
