      Hi!

      Yesterday my internet went down. I went to check the router and all leds blinking green (netgate 6100).
      Turns out the router updated and rebooted itself. How can this happen? I didnt touch it.

      From the log:

        There's nothing in pfSense by default that can upgrade itself like that. We'd need to see more of the logs to know more.

              @stephenw10 well that the thing. Theres a gap.
              Nov 8 07:18:03 kernel arp: 192.168.1.144 moved from 5c:cf:7f:28:d1:3b to 50:91:e3:bd:ef:aa on bridge0
              So what happened between is a mystery.
              Ive checked all the systemlogs i think could have something. But nothing.

                  Any logins shown?

                  Anything running at boot that might do this?

                  People have written scripts to do exactly this but we always advise against it. Any possibility one of those was installed?

                    @stephenw10 No logins. Se timestamps here. Empty. I havent used any of those scripts. Only pkg from the list.

                      You omitted the pkg, reboot and arp move lines there? Can we just see the complete systemlog covering that time?

                          Hmm, weird.

                          Check if you have an upgrade_log.latest.txt file in /conf. Anything unexpected in it? What's the timestamp on that file?

                          Check the output of ps -auxwwd for anything unusual running.

                              Nope nothing obvious I see there either. Could have been something run once.
                              I can only say that nothing in a default pfSense install would auto-upgrade.

                                I havent added anything. And only installed from the pkgs in pfsense. So its very strange. Hardware is all so netgate.

                                  Hmm, it does actually show a full upgrade in that log file though? I expect to see more logged for an upgrade initiated using pfSense-upgrade.

                                      Hmm, that's just the package install. I'd expect to see a lot more listed shown there after an upgrade from 23.05.1. But it might have been replaced if packages were reinstalled later.

                                          If you have any doubts reinstall 23.09 clean and restore the config.

                                          If you want to investigate further you might be able to roll back the ZFS snapshot to 23.05.1 and see if anything looks out of place there. Though the most recent snap would have been created by the upgrade.
