Re: WireGuard host crashes roughly every week

looks like OOM problem,

Send dmesg, keep a window withlog open, monitor your memory usage with something
also send some conf

If I look at the screen or serial output, I can get the "login:" prompt, and when I enter my name I get prompted for a password, but once I enter a password it hangs. Key presses and control codes still show on the screen, but the login never succeeds or fails. I thought control-C might cause it to go back to the login prompt, but it doesn't. I have to hard reboot the box to get it back.

I used to run the same WireGuard configuration on a different OpenBSD machine (a Raspberry Pi instead of x64), and the same crashing would happen. I blamed the crashing on the Pi port of OpenBSD, which is why I switched machines, but it stopped happening on the Pi and started on the x64 box.
