      Hi to All,

      I have some problem randomicaly with this pfsense, after an upgrade of file system to ZFS to 4 different firewall and upgrading space on the disk i have encountered only a problem with this.
      Sporadically the firewall freeze don't respond and the only solution is to reboot in console web interface, refuse any tipe of connection.

      This appears every 1 or 2 months.
      Ant suggestion?

        So it remains responsive at the console? But you can no longer connect to the webgui or SSH?

        The only thing in the logs there seems to be that the WAN goes down, or at least the gateway stops responding.

          @stephenw10 Thanks for your response.
          by direct console works but SSH refuse my connection also the webgui.
          i have 2 CPU on this pfsense and randomically the first CPU stop working, infact i have the 51 % of cpu in use because the first is down.

          After i restart the appliance for 1 or 2 moths all ok

          the GW down i think because the pfsense is stucked, but i see all the logs and i didn't find anything

              Try running top with:
              top -HaSP

              That should show you what's using the CPU.
