      Yes. Just lights a led red when WAN status is down.

      There isn’t any other custom cron entry other than an update checker so even if there was a custom script buried somewhere I don’t see how it would be called.

        @wgstarks said in 4200 crashed:

        Maybe the problem is heat related? All sensors are showing between 69C and 70.1C. No idea what the normal range is for this appliance.

        That definitely seems high. My 4200 shows readings right around 50C, except for the "Zone 0" sensor which is typically 58C or so. It's in a closet that doesn't have much ventilation, so ambient temp maybe 25C or a bit more.

          Looks like all my openvpn clients got deleted too. No idea what is going on with this box. Realized the problem when I tried to connect remotely. After I got home I checked and OpenVPN clients tab is empty.

          This isn’t really a big problem since I’ve been thinking about switching to Tailscale anyway but I don’t know if it’s another symptom of a bigger issue?

            Sounds like maybe the config was reverted. Or perhaps it booted an older ZFS BE if the current one became unbootable?

              Found the problem with OpenVPN after a lot of digging. Looks like dyndns wasn’t updating cloudflare even though the dyndns client tab showed that cloudflare was up to date. I could see from the dns records on the cloudflare site that they were out of date. Forced an update and now OpenVPN is reachable.

              The dyndns package had the proper IP and the update script is working so perhaps this was just a temporary issue with cloudflare and only a coincidence with the timing. Not really sure. 🥺
