      Just wondering if this should be a concern and is there anything I can do to correct it from happening again?

      There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:35: cannot define table pfB_BlockListDE_v4: Cannot allocate memory - The line in question reads [35]: table <pfB_BlockListDE_v4> persist file "/var/db/aliastables/pfB_BlockListDE_v4.txt"

          This memory warning is not for conventional RAM that you see on the Dashboard stats. This is referring to special reserved memory for pf firewall table entries. There is a setting you can adjust under the SYSTEM > ADVANCED menu for maximum table entries.

              @nasheayahu If it helps (you or others) I have a note from several years ago to, when installing pfBlocker, double the default Firewall Maximum Table Entries (with a minimum of 2 million).

              Note however there is (or was, don't have 22.05 yet) a bug where the sentence "On this system the default size is" shows the current setting, whatever it's set to.

              Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
              When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
