@globus243 said in pfSense freezes on Saturdays in the morning and shortly after 4pm.:
1 sec it's fine, next we are seeing the output of a booting OS
That sounds like hardware. And if it's something that regular I would not rule out some external influence. It wouldn't be the first time something like this was caused by a neighbour running their drier etc.

@globus243 I've had a similar experience, which may or may not be related. Netgate 5100 locks up shortly after either 6 a.m. or 6 p.m. but not always on the same day of the week. Finally traced the problem to pfblockerng-devel updating its block lists. For some reason this results in "insufficient swap space," even though no swap space is shown in use. My wife first noticed this phenomenon because her Amazon Alexa console, which is connected wirelessly, shows "no network." I'm not competent to delve into what's actually happening, so I just reboot the firewall and everything is fine.
