Hi Maciej,
Wow. If that turns out to be true, it would be really shocking. The whole intranet with all its network segments wide open and fully exposed to the internet, just because the firewall crashed...
Could you please specify what you mean with "when the firewall crashes"? Do you mean that the whole operating system (OS) hangs/reboots/freezes, etc. or do you mean that the packet filter of the OS goes crazy while the OS continues to run normally?
Sincerely worried

I have now several times experienced a situation where the firewall crashes and becomes a simple router.
<snip> the result should be no traffic passing instead of all traffic passing.
<snip> After this happens the firewall keep acting as a simple router even after a reboot, only restoring earlier configuration may fix the problem.
