    That'll happen if that traffic makes it to the firewall. At that point you can either block or pass it, but it's going to show up in your RRDs either way. Whether or not it makes it to your firewall depends on the device its WAN is plugged into. Something on that upstream device must have changed to send out that multicast on all ports rather than just ports that have joined the appropriate group. Whether or not that's configurable or you can do anything to change the behavior, not sure, better chance of finding that out from your provider (if you can get someone with a clue) or a forum of theirs if one exists.

    @dillbilly:

    Is there any way to figure out what might be advertising itself on that port?

    Traffic doesn't necessarily result from something "advertising itself" on the port. For example, some might "probe" a range of IP addresses on a particular port looking for a systems that responds. Or you might have a dynamic IP address which was recently used by a system providing a service on that port.

    Do you see a range of IP addresses accessing the port in question?  Do you see the accesses in the firewall log?

    IPv6 support is only available on 2.1.

    2.1 is not "alpha" it's BETA1, and nearly a release candidate at this stage.

    If you need IPv6, use 2.1. You may not like it, but that's the answer.

    Try using something like BandwidthD, DarkStat, or NTOP. These packages can let you see what IP's (and thus PC's) are creating the most traffic. Check for both lots of upload packets and throughput.

    Well, the error message is pretty much self-explanatory. Are you running some package that opens many files (e.g. squid) ?

    On my system, uid 62 is proxy. You can check which process(es) are responsible, by running the following command on CLI
    ps aux|fgrep proxy

    The obvious solution would be to increase kern.maxfiles, by going to webGUI System -> Advanced -> System Tunables, assuming your system has enough RAM to handle it.

    PS: Although many pfSense users run the squid package, my opinion is that if you have more than a few (~20) users it'd be best both for security and performance/reliability reasons to use an external caching proxy, appropriately sized & tuned (fs + kernel).

    It seems it's only usable as a forwarder of mails sent from external (WAN) to one internal SMTP Server:

    http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Postfix

    Postfix forwarder package at pfSense is a MTA configured to be a part of a full antispam mechanism. No local accounts are configured in this package, all messages are received, filtered and forwarded to your internal mail server.

    Sorry for bugging.

    Note that the limiter limits the traffic per IP. So multiple IP's can use a multiple of the traffic.
    Eg: if the limiter is set to 400Kbit/s then two people (with different IP's) can use 400Kbit/s EACH, eg 800Kbit/s overall.
    Maybe that is the issue?

    @pmiccich:

    i just cant Ping to or from those subnets

    More details please:
    1. What does ping report?
    2. ping from where? to where?
    3. What is the scope of the problem? The default firewall rules allow a system on the LAN interface to access anywhere. So, on one particular system connected to the LAN interface what is reported by ping when you attempt to ping an online system on each of the other subnets?
