504 Gateway Time-out
0%
Description
it is checked on different hardware with the same pfsense version 2.3.4-RELEASE-p1.
If try to run a command (eg ping 8.8.8.8) in Execute Shell Command tab (diagnostics\command prompt) then nothing happens and after some minutes you getting only "504 Gateway Time-out" in your browser. Also all incoming vpn connections are getting message "Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting"
solution on this is to ssh and choose 11) Restart webConfigurator

Yeah nothing happens because the command will never return. It will keep pinging forever. PEBKAC.

If a command never terminates, it will run until something stops it (e.g. PHP execution timeout).
There is no way to know that. Using the command prompt comes with danger because of everything you can do there. The burden is on the user to not do something to break it at that point.

is there any reason vpn server not accepting incoming vpn connections?

Yes, because the certificate verification and authentication is handled in PHP. If you have more questions, please post them on the forum, mailing list, or reddit.
