      Hi. I woke up today to find the solid purplish/red square and the solid blue diamond. I tried to log into the web interface and found that I would not log in to any device on the local lan. I still have internet access but cannot access the PFsense 4200 web interface or my NAS or connect to any shared drive. Any ideas would be very welcomed. Thanks.

        Are you able to connect via SSH? Or using the serial console?

          Just tried it. Does not connect on SSH just hangs. I've never used the serial console so don't know.
          I typed the above at 6:40. At 6:58 the purple light went off and I was able to connect with Lan again. WTF?
          Thanks anyway for your interest in helping.

            Huh, odd. Well I would suggest familirazing yourself with the serial console now while everything is working so you'll have it available if this ever happens again.
