Internet goes down a couple times a day after update

Helyon

Hello all!,

I switched over to using pfSense a few months back for my home network and it has been great so far!

I decided to check out pfBlockerNG so logged in and noticed an updated. Went ahead and did that updated then also installed and configured pfBlockerNG via the wizard.

Every since my internet access goes down a couple times a day now. I can connect to pfsense fine and reboot it and all is well.

I am a novice with pfsense and am not really sure what to check. Everything seems normal in pfsense but something is obviously wrong.

I disabled and since removed PfBlockerNG but the issue still persists.

Any help on what to check when it happens again?

@helyon I don't know your detail but what you could do clean install pfsense without any packages.
pfblocker is acting like a BRAT princess right now.

@helyon Does the System log say anything at the time that it goes down? When it goes down, can you still ping out to 8.8.8.8 for example?

@kom I will check that out when it happens again and report back. Thanks!

@AKEGEC Hoping it doesn't come to that but will do it if I must.

@helyon You need to determine if it's a DNS issue or general connectivity and that's where the ping test will tell you.
