Thanks for this thread - like others it has helped me a lot.

Thanks, applying the patch and stopping/started IPsec fixed the issue for me.

Not sure how long it was going on, but I found two different pfSense boxes (a SG-1100 and SG-3100) with a site-to-site IPsec VPN with this issue. On the SG-3100, we were seeing weird delays/pauses in OpenVPN traffic. Logging in we saw high CPU load and found the characteristic large number of bzip2 processes compressing ipsec logs. On the SG-1100, didn't really notice anything, but did find that the snmp daemon had died.

Ran into this problem also. Disabled the daemon. My next step is to establish site-to-site ipsec tunnel. Is this pcscd required to establish an ip-sec tunnel?

It's still there, just disabled by default. If someone needs it they can enable it.

@jimp that's what I meant :)

Thank you !
