I switched out the memory and the SSD, reinstalled pfsense, and after a few weeks of operation, VPN traffic started corrupting again.

A soft reset doesn't fix it.
A hard reset (by pulling the power cord for a few seconds) does.

I tried contacting Netgate and didn't receive a response.

Does anyone know what could be going on here?

Thanks,
Jonathon

Scanned the memory with memtest this morning and scanned the Intel SSD as well, it's all fine.

I did stumble across something that fixes it though. Pulling the power cord for a few seconds. The act of removing power from my Netgate FW-7535 caused everything to start working. I probably soft reset it from the console 10 times and kept getting corrupted OpenVPN connections until I actually pulled power from the thing.

I am starting to lean towards something on it's motherboard being defective. I will switch out the memory and SSD in a few days just to make sure it's not them.

The last few months I have been having issues with OpenVPN connections from my road warriors. It appears that most of the traffic crossing the link is corrupted. I can't use remote desktop, it always says "because of an error in data encryption, the session will end". I can't use the company intranet, it always displays the pages corrupted or doesn't load them at all. What do I mean by corrupted? See how it butchered the page load of the pfSense web admin interface.

This doesn't look too bad. I am assuming that you have sliced out the data for security purposes - or is that the corruption?

All of this obvious data corruption and not a single peep in the logs. Nothing, nowhere. I have 20 installs and this is the only one that has ever given me an issue like this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Are you saying 20 installs on different hardware, or 20 installs sequentially over several months/versions on the same box.

If 20 on separate boxes, I would do a memory test on the failing box.
