    OK manually resetting and rebuilding the nexus license with help from @marcosm finally got things back in order. After stopping the service, resetting and deleting the license and removing it from the database tables, too, it finally got recreated completely and afterwards pkg finally got working again.

    First impressions of the new GUI after a couple of hours of 'looking around': less than a pass. I will be interested to see when the entries for packages in the pull-down menus. I use Traffic Totals quite a lot and would be quite disappointed if not included. As for the pull down menus, I find that having to scroll in the menu quite annoying. Developers: how about tightening the spacing to scrolling is NOT needed.

    @johnpoz I'm kinda out of ideas. Definitely a Proton issue—which is rare, but there's a few sites that give troubles.

    ThreatDB is downloading the MaxMind lists, and you can use them as aliases in firewall rules. However, the rule is not matching packets. I have opened a Redmine ticket: #17027

    @marcosm said in 26.07 RC memory leak?: How soon does it reach that amount after restarting the service? After about 17 to 19 hours, a memory issue occurs. Despite seeming pretty stable, it gradually starts to leak RAM. Does it still happen with ThreatGate disabled? I haven't tested it with ThreatGate disabled yet, so I can't say for sure. A little more about my setup:In CoreDNS, I'm using 3 groups with fallback.In these groups, I have a few forwards and resolvers.CoreDNS is forwarding to DNS resolver 127.0.0.1:5353 because I'm using DNS-over-TLS to Cloudflare.ThreatGate is enabled, but it is only using the GeoIP MaxMind feed, nothing else yet.

    @SteveITS said in CoreDNS and Caching best practices?: Google DNS truncates TTL to a maximum of 6 hours. Of course they do. Why ? Short answer : you would do the same thing (if you worked for them). Google (8.8.8.8) prefers that you have to come back as much a possible for fresh DNS info. This gives them a very important info : they start to know in quasi real time where and when go visit something. That info will be thrown in the 'profiler' just for 'you' so adds can be sold with an even higher price. If there wasn't a local cache in the forwarder like pfSense, neither in the end users device, then for every DNS request the DNS server has to be consulted. I won't be surprised that the DNS will start to 'throttle' your requests. There is probably a sweet spot, but 0 TTL would for sure create problems. Ok, my answer has some in it, but I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong.

    @tinfoilmatt I agree and I have read them. I would just like to know how it has been implemented in the back so I can make an educated guess on performance. I’m mostly worried about the thousands of lists of resolved IPs CoreDNS needs to maintain (one for each client), and the risk of the client attempting to pass correctly resolved traffic before CoreDNS and pfFilter is updated with the correct list of resolved IP’s for that client.
