MBUF slowly increasing over time
-
Yes, under 22.01 it was always low...
Unfortunately, I do not know how I can prepare the data. But I have you a CSV file with the readings from pfSense of the last 3 months. There the value was permanently constant. -
Must be some config you have or something you're running.
What packages do you have installed?
Steve
-
These are my installed packages
-
Are you running OpenVPN with DCO enabled perhaps?
Are you using traffic shaping at all? Captive portal?
-
I’ve enabled DCO but in the last week there wasn’t any incoming connection.
I’ve disabled DCO right now, but I dont believe that’s the reason..I’m not using traffic shaping or CP
-
You were definitely seeing it before you enabled DCO?
-
I have now tested a bit over the day. In fact, the cause was the DCO setting of the OpenVPN tunnels. After I fixed this setting on two tunnels, the problem is gone and the MBUF stays constant again!
Thanks a lot for your help!
-
Ooo, that sounds like something we need to address. You just disabled DCO and the mbuf leak stopped? Made some other change?
Steve
-
I only disabled DCO on two existing tunnels, since then it has remained constantly at that value, after a restart it is constantly low again.
-
Are you able to share the settings you were using that created the leak? None of my DCO test systems appear to be leaking.
-
Yes, what settings do you need?
-
Ideally the full server config with DCO enabled and whatever redacted you need to.
So either the OpenVPN config from:
/var/etc/openvpn/server1/config.ovpnOr the server section from the main pfSense config file.
But anything you can provide to help us replicate it would be very helpful.

Since in the VPN config is nothing big in it, I can also simply upload here, but just as TXT, because the upload here does not allow everything.
I had DCO now again for a few minutes on and connected with my cell phone via VPN, my MBUF went up in this time about 400. Therefore I have deactivated it now again. Since I pulled the config file afterwards, DCO is now disabled here.
For this VPN I have a firewall rule which allows the traffic to all destinations. Only the "Allow IP options" I have activated here.
If you need more data, I am at your disposal!
Edit:
Do you mean the OpenVPN server excerpt from the pfSense config? -
So, now I would also have the entire Config. I had DCO only a few minutes on and the value has risen directly again rapidly.
How can I send you the config?
-
That's probably good enough but more data never hurts!
