Hello Community,

I hope I’m in the right place. I already posted about this issue in the OPNsense forum and was redirected to the CrowdSec forum. I’ll give it a try here—otherwise, I’ll create a post on Discord as well. 🙂

My issue:  
After the latest OPNsense update and reboot, I had to manually access the console and terminate the CrowdSec process using kill -9 (PID). I know other users who are experiencing the same problem.

No special configurations have been made in CrowdSec—only the add-on was installed to make it visible in the dashboard. Interestingly, this issue does not occur on clients where the add-on is not installed.

Additional information:

A regular reboot works without any issues.  
The problem only happens after an OPNsense update when the system restarts.  
The service hangs while shutting down.  
System details:

os-crowdsec: 1.0.8\_1  
OPNsense: 24.7.12\_4-amd64  
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
