OPNsense dies every 24th hour or so

[TomasL]

Every 24 hour OPNsense dies, and throughput goes down to zero.
This happens when I do large uploads, i.e full bandwidth 600 Mb/s for 24 hours continuously.
After re-boot bandwidth is restored for an additional 24 hours.
Sometimesm it goes down after half an hour
HW is Gigabyte N3150 based MB, with realtek super-io (2x 1Gb/s Lan-ports).
Intel Celeron N3150, 4 cores @ 1,6 GHz
4g MEMORY.
No overheating, memory usage around 16%, CPU maxes out at 40% on the peaks.
Any sugestions on where to look.

So the device lives, but no traffic is going thru?

That realtek NIC looks suspicious, did you install the additional realtek plugin?

Yes I did.
Before OPNsense i was running CENTOS7 with an IP-tables firewall (https://github.com/arno-iptables-firewall/aif/), without any problems.

Did you install the vendor driver plugin for Realtek NICs?

[TomasL]

Yes I did.

Can you check dmesg?

I can't say that these NICs are built for that amount of persistent stress and this will probably be very true for FreeBSD regardless of in-tree or vendor driver. Linux may be more reliable, but most people just try to find better NICs. There's a lot of good cheap Intel stuff out there.

Well, other NICS is out, there is not enough space and only one slot on the MB.
Since it worked W/O any problem with CENTOS, well, it has to be an OPNsense issue and not an HW-isue.

Yes, I already told you I have my doubts about reliability in FreeBSD with both the in-tree and the vendor driver.

Not debating that fact. But then probably a Linux based firewall would be preferable? Why not OpenWRT? Or IPFire?

Will probably go for ROXY9 and AIF, at the end.
