      Good day!

      I'm experiencing an issue with the pfSense Plus GUI—it crashes and becomes inaccessible. When this happens, several firewall services such as VPN and the DHCP server also stop working, requiring me to reboot the firewall to restore functionality.

      This problem occurs frequently, around 3 to 5 times a day.

      Could you please help identify the cause of this issue and advise on how to resolve it?

      Thank you!

        @smsigroupit if PHP isn’t running then the web server/GUI isn’t going to work. None of that (PHP) is related to other services like DHCP.

        Can you see any reason why PHP isn’t running? Or what’s happening to other services?

        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.

          Hi @SteveITS,

          Thanks for the clarification.

          I haven’t identified a clear reason why PHP isn’t running yet. However, when the GUI becomes inaccessible, I also observe the following:

          The DHCP server stops assigning IP addresses.
VPN clients are disconnected.

          Are there any specific logs or diagnostics you recommend checking to pinpoint why PHP stops or why the services fail simultaneously?

              @smsigroupit Check the main system log.

              You can apply the patches but I doubt they will change your symptoms.

                Thank you for your help.

                Will monitor the main system log.

                      Do yo have the service watchdog enabled? If so what things is it checking?

                      That is really only supposed to be used for troubleshooting and doesn't play nice with everything. If you have it set to watch Suricata for example you can end up with numerous instances running.

                      But, yes, something is probably using the available php threads and I'd expect to see something in the system logs in the run up to it ceasing to respond.

                      I assume it' doesn't actually 'crash'? You don't see a kernel panic and crash report?

                        i already remove the service watchdog, will monitor the system status

                        i dont see any kernel panic in the system logs

                        if click the Crash Reporter does nothing

                          Hmm, check in /var/crash if you can. Any crash report that's still on the system should be there.

                              @smsigroupit That could simply mean, that there's no crash/kernel panic thus no dump. Mostly when there was only a PHP error that gets recorded as "crash".

                              I guess that the symptoms could match the tracked bug in redmine where the widgets/dashboard is under heavy load/overload through widget handling that got changed/fixed with 25.x then? Don't know if that fix was available as System Patch but remember seeing it in the proposed release notes for 25.x

                              Cheers

                                Mmm, possibly. Though that usually only makes it slow or use a lot CPU cycles. And the 8200 has a lot of spare CPU cycles to use up so.... it seems unlikely.

                                DHCP and VPN failures could be a filesystem problem. Is it close to full?

                                  I already applied all the patches.

                                  Will wait for netgate to fix this issue.

                                    After applying all the patches, I no longer encountered any crashes in the pfSense GUI.

                                    Will monitor the system status and this error message;
