<![CDATA[The firewall has encountered an error]]>Was wonder why I could not connect, had to go to the direct console to repeating messages, after rebooting was directed to view the Crash Reporter and got this:

Crash report begins.  Anonymous machine information:

amd64
12.3-STABLE
FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE RELENG_2_6_0-n226742-1285d6d205f pfSense

This is a PC Build and below are the generated files. Is it possible for someone to take a look at them to discover the reason why the system crashed so I can fix the problem before it happens again?.

There's no time stamp so we can't say if that's related but it certainly shouldn't do that.
Check the System and Snort logs.

Okay thanks, I also notified Snort via email....

Which is not very helpful.

The message buffer shows Snort crashing out:

<118>Bootup complete

<6>pid 94944 (snort), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
KDB: enter: manual escape to debugger

There's no time stamp so we can't say if that's related but it certainly shouldn't do that.

Check the System and Snort logs.
