      @mtarbox "out of swap space" indicates it is running out of memory. What is the memory usage on your router? What packages are installed besides pfBlockerNG? Do you have pfBlockerNG loading lots of feeds? Can you see what's using the memory in Diagnostics/Activity?

      "Message sent to pfsense@.org" looks like an invalid email address was entered to receive notifications?

      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.

        the email address is modified. I get daily reports from pfSense just fine.
        currently memory is at 12% of 3397mb.
        edit post update is now at 30% of 3397mb.

        The screen snip is from when I just forced an update.

          @mtarbox Unless that's during the update that looks like a lot of CPU usage for pfB. Did you hear about this correction?

          That OISD list is 30.7 MB so could take a long time and a lot of memory to process.

            I did the modification to pfblocker.inc before I upgraded to 22.05. Of course I forgot the space, saw no changes, and quickly figured out I missed the space.

            Overall, I need something to block PRON. Supposed medical "professionals" will push limits, plus we have Junior Members here.

            UT1 was turning this 2100 into a slug, and I just saw OISD do the same.

              Did you check after? I believe if you don't uninstall/reinstall the package pfSense will do so for you...

                $r = explode(' ', $result, 2);
                looks legit.

                  Okay, I disabled OISD, enabled one of Chad Mayfields lists. I forced an update cycle and the memory is sitting at 10%, instead of 30%.
                  I will check the logs tomorrow morning, and see if those changes made any impact, and if Service Watchdog had to restart anything on the overnight.

                  @SteveITS thank you for the assistance so far. Obviously networking is not in my job title.

                    Everything is looking much better now. No email regarding unbound stopping, service watchdog restarting, etcetera.
                    And this was the system load this morning. Much, MUCH better!

                        Be careful with that one.
                        To keep things close to your profession : what happens when you electro choc a patients heart when it is still beating ? Right, you stop it, and thus you're making things worse.

                        When ever possible, stop using the "service watchdog".

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                        Edit : and where are the logs ??
