Is there a way to find out what causes random freezing of OPNSense?

Few days ago, there was a disconnection in WAN side, in the night, OPNSense froze, no clients were on during this time, when I turned on I couldn't access the webUI. I had to hard reset to get it back up.

I was wondering if anyone could have performed a man-in-the-middle attack while there was a disconnection in the WAN side, can I run any integrity checks or view logs? Where can I find system logs if it has  been tampered with?

Or should reinstall the whole thing again?

f the import logs are available via the GUI
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/logging_system.html?highlight=logs

You can also use shell access to view the logs in /var/log

# ls /var/log/
