Good day,
I was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable can help troubleshoot this issue...
I switched to PFSense+ from CE, and ever since doing that several months ago, I've noticed that I would randomly get a loss of browsing. I'm not sure if it's because DNS stops responding, or something reloading, etc... Existing video streams won't stop, for example... but trying to open a new page in a web browser hangs and I'll get a message that the server could not be found...
I've tried all kinds of things, but I did seem to narrow it down to happening at the top of the hour. It seems that at the top of each hour, this issue occurs and lasts for a couple minutes. Anywhere from, say, 8:00 to 8:05 it will happen somewhere in that period. Then it recovers by itself.
There was nothing in the logs of anything obvious. I disabled writing logs to disk to see if the log rotation was restarting something. That didn't help. It's not an update to PF Blocker NG or anything like that, because it's not happening in conjunction with any updates I can find...
It seems like CRON hangs the system within the first few minutes of each hour. Here is the list of CRON entries...

Any ideas what could cause this, or where to start?
Thanks!
