Web GUI incredible slow after IPSEC configurations

Third time I'm going to try to get some help from here. Because this problem happened several times.

I was configuring a fresh and new PfSense (as some other times) and after configuring some IPSEC tunnels at the moment that configuration is applied the WEB GUI returns a timeout after some time trying to apply the configuration.

After that I have to just unplug the appliance and plug it again. Then when PfSense is ready it get a lot of time to get access to the login website and the Dashboard page after login it. At this point every page on pfsense it works great except the Dashboard page.

I tried to stop IPSEC service, disable IPSEC tunnels, reboot pfsense, restart interfaces services.... and still working really bad. Even I deleted all the IPSEC tunnels, reboot and still not working.

By the way, it takes 1minute and 34 secs to load the Dashboard page so clearly something its not working fine.

I want to migrate some routers to PfSense and I had this same problem each time I tried to configure this step.

Any help please? Thanks

UPDATE:

I've been doing some tests trying to know where the problem is and it seems that finally it comes from WAN interface. I configured first WAN but until I configured the IPSEC tunnels the problem didnt appear.

Today I reinstall a fresh pfsense and first of all I configured the tunnels with no problems and when I configured the WAN the problem start. If I enable WAN with DHCP or Static IP without a gateway it works everything fine, when I choose a IPv4 Upstream gatewy then return the problem.

At this point this topic can be closed.
