      Full system log attached as a pdf inside 7z, because pdf uploads are not allowed?
      04-21-2021_GATE01.localdomain - Status_ System Logs_ System_ General.7z

      Full error message possibly in question:

      sonewconn: pcb 0xfffffd0019e3e7c0: Listen queue overflow: 49 already in queue awaiting acceptance (5 occurrences)

      I am brand new to pfsense, so I do not really know what I am looking for, but that is what sticks out to me in my system log. It poped that error a couple dozen times in a minute or so. Please see full 500 entry system log attached.

      Also in the logs, it appears that openVPN keeps restarting and restarting.

      This, or something similar, has now happened twice today forcing me to power cycle my device (SG-1100) to resolve. Any assistance would be appreciated!! Thank you so much for your time!

        the queue is full / too many connections, check with
        netstat -Lan

        try without ntopng
