      We noticed some strange log messages today for about 5 hrs today. Then, the system crashed. The messages below repeated up until the crash. I've pasted a copy of the messages that continually repeated up until the crash.

      I've confirmed no one was using nor attempting to use the OVPN service today. The messages combined with a crash (first crash in years) make my spidey senses tingle, and I'm hopeful someone can give me a clue what might have been happening.

      Thanks, FS

        This appears to be related to apinger. We turned off gateway monitoring, and that solved the problem.
