      My PFSENSE+ 26.03 was running flawlessly on a DELL PowerEdge R360 (Xeon 6337P) and QAT accelerator board since April 2026. Yesterday I encounted crashes nearly every hour.
      The GUI reports (after PF reboots automatically) a page fault.
      I suspected a faulty RAM module in the DELL but cannot confirm because I was 750 km away from the datacenter and I have no access to the IDRAC (my bad !) to perform a memory test.

      Before to go back in a hurry to the datacenter, I did the update to the new 26.07 release and since
      16 hours, I did not encounted any crash.

      The update has disabled Crowdsec (as usual). I hope that Crowdsec is not the root cause of the crashes. I know that this add-on is not supported by Netgate but I really need it because my 60 public ip's have ports scans and attacks all the day long. I'm now waiting two days before reinstalling it eventually when I'll be on site.

        'Page fault' is a very generic panic string. We'd need to see the backtrace at least to know more.
