      @bbcan177 This is the best news in a long time given the slightly shaky rumours that have been circulating.

      Thank you for your excellent work - your package is what makes pfSense the best solution around :-)

      Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

        I don't see any issues listed in any of the messages, that
        I have ever had.

        This is also not a must be for everybody I would be glad about to see the same here, but I am also using very old
        hardware and perhaps to "small foot print" for this load.
        PC Engines APU4D4

        Granted I don't use Netgate hardware and only run
        CE 2.6.0.

        It is an software problem so it should be nothing to do
        with the hardware it selfs, but with much packages installed and much of list feeds, snort rules and av signatures it is perhaps here and there able to point on.

        Swap space is always 0% and CPU usage is never
        spikes above about 3%.

        Only my AV signatures are taking 1 GB - 1,7 GB of ram and I only own 4 GB hard soldered on the board! So 4 GB swap is not such a great thing if you have to deal with a bunch of rules and lists.

        By the way I'm running Snort as well as pfBlockerNG.

        Me too, but it comes squid & squidguard plus clamav on top of it and with some lists I haven´t seen such numbers
        before like you. And WiFi and FreeRadius are not activated
        at this time. I really think it should be in the near future another box more strong or powerful.

          As I understand the issue, it’s related to a change in the logging format pfsense uses in pfSense+ 22.05
          That release is as far as I remember a pfsense+ release only - there where no CE 2.6.1 or whatever that could have been called.
          I might remember wrong, but CE2.6 came with pfsense+ 22.01

            CE branch (CE tree)
            pfSense CE 2.5 > 2.6 > 2.7.....
            Plus branch (Plus tree)
            pfSense+ (Plus) 22.01 > 22.05 > 22.09 > 22.11....
            Developer branch (devel tree)
            pfSense x.y devel is even a developer version for testing out
            using at home and/or in some rarely cases, only.

                  I upgraded from _4 to _6, had to manually restart unbound (as usual), and had to reapply the pre-existing patch in /net/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc

                  ...
                  -                $r = explode(')', $result, 2);
                  +                $r = explode(' ', $result, 2);
                  ...
                  

                  Watching the git commits, there was activity in the pfblockerng.inc file but not the above change.

                  Is there a Redmine bug tracking that?

                      FYI, 3.1.0_7 is out now with the included fix... Just installed it on my 6100 and everything is working fine.

                          Same here. This is only my 2nd time upgrading pfBlocker and I guess that's expected behavior.

                              @jmv43-0 It is, which is why I just posted that. I noticed it as an available upgrade in Package Manager on my 6100 running 22.05+. Plus he already said it would be coming out this week.

                                  More or less...I seem to recall a post from BBCan177 a while back, saying it was a bug in pfSense's package system, so he can't fix it.

                                          @turker are you getting any table memory errors? That might indicate that you need to increase your Firewall Maximum Table Entries in the System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT section. I had to increase mine from 400,000 to 1,000,000 to account for all of the pfBlocker lists I have configured.

                                            Did you manually create firewall rules for those aliases or did it create them automatically? Check your firewall rules and see if those aliases still appear in your firewall rules, if they do, delete those firewall rules.

                                            I've seen cases where I created rules with aliases in pfBlocker but didn't delete them and they would still show up in that table, like you are showing.
