    Hİ,
    I reinstalled the pfsense environment and reverted to the config via the old full backup. After that, these errors are repeated in the log file.
    15:40:04 pf root[35361]: /usr/sbin/service: WARNING: $expiretable_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5).
    Apr 9 15:40:04 pf root[52858]: /usr/sbin/service: WARNING: $microcode_update_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5).
    Apr 9 15:40:05 pf root[72074]: /usr/sbin/service: WARNING: $mpd_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5).
    Apr 9 15:40:06 pf root[74298]: /usr/sbin/service: WARNING: $dhcp6c_enable is not set properly -

    What can I do about this
    Thanks.

      @SpaceXTexnologiya said in pfsense log error:

      expiretable_enable

      These messages show up after you imported your own config.xml ?
      If so (although I doubt) : reset back to default, don't use that file anymore.

      @SpaceXTexnologiya said in pfsense log error:

      Apr 9 15:40:04 pf root[52858]: /usr/sbin/service: WARNING: $microcode_update_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5)

      Check for yourself the file /usr/local/etc/rc.d/microcode_update
      The value "$$microcode_update_enable" is set : line 72 :

      : ${microcode_update_enable="NO"}
      

      Same for expiretable_enable, $mpd_enable and $dhcp6c_enable : these are not used at all by pfSense at all. pfSEnse doesn't 'use' rc.conf.

      Where did you get your pfSense installer from ?

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        @Gertjan hi,
        thanks for reply

        I didn't check before but I noticed these errors after returning to my config file. I was using the same config file before and I didn't get these errors.

        Where did you get your pfSense installer from ?
        downloaded from this address : https://repo.ialab.dsu.edu/pfsense/

          the value was set this way, I did not change it;

          : ${microcode_update_enable="NO"}
          : ${microcode_update_datadir="/usr/local/share/cpucontrol"}
          : ${microcode_update_cpus="ALL"}
          : ${microcode_update_flags=""}

            You might see those after upgrading because pfSense doesn't use the FreeBSD RC system.

              Hi @stephenw10
              Should I ignore these errors?
              After reinstalling, the interruptions continue on pfsense. I'm really tired of not being able to solve this. It gets better after a restart but then it cuts out again and I have to restart pfsense again

                Those warnings are expected after installing pkgs which is what happens at upgrade or a clean install with the net installer. They are unrelated to the connection issues.

                  downloaded from this address : https://repo.ialab.dsu.edu/pfsense/

                  What I wouldn’t do is download it from some place on the Internet.
                  https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/index.html

                  Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                  When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                      No AI or card needed : Google : pfSense download

                      The very first link is the official answer.

                          @SpaceXTexnologiya nope, you'll need an Netgate store account but since the cost is 0.- you won't need to enter any card information.

                          Login, add to card, checkout and download.

                            Or, for now at least, just use the legacy installer for CE.

                              I added 2.7.2 to the list, and checked out.
                              I reached :

                              login-to-view

                              and could summit here to finalize the transaction.

                              Was somewhat 'hoping' to see the question "Give your Visa number of the 0 $ transaction .." but didn't saw it 😊
                              That is, This was valid for me, ordering from France.

                                I made the download.
                                Thank you for your help.
                                I have installed Pfsense but these errors persist, Pfsense cuts off access for no reason, it only recovers after a reboot.
                                Unfortunately I have not found a solution to this problem. Does anyone have the same problem?
                                version 2.7.2

                                  That's not much to work with.

                                    Yes we need more information to diagnose this. Still this? https://forum.netgate.com/topic/189542/pfsense-access-interruption

                                    If so I suggest continuing there.

                                    But if you're running in hyper-V still check for the reported hveventX issue: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1207821
