I finally was able to receive an advanced replacement from Netgate a few
weeks ago. I swapped it out leaving my old install intact and the
problem disappeared on the new device. After all the installs with the
various Netgate FW models over the years (not the m1n1wall, those have
been awesome but are too outdated for me to be using on 100meg+
internet), Their reliability has been lacking and the issues that arise
are always hard to diagnose and prove (freezing, no response situations,
corrupting packets). I think I am just going to give up a few Ethernet
ports that I don't end up using anyways and start building my own.

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,

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.
