      @beerguzzle Hello, my first comment here. Same situation, SG-1100 with 85% memory in constant use. I applied that patch and Memory usage dropped to 35% after rebooting.

        Checking my system this morning after applying patch ff715efce5e6c65b3d49dc2da7e1bdc437ecbf12 and rebooting yesterday... Bliss! Nothing happened at 3 AM and my wired mem usage remains at about 35%. I consider this problem solved.

              @fsc830 Applied this patch in my SG-3100, everything OK, memory usage didn't change at night.
              Thanks

                  @jmv43-0 Install the System Patches package and use the patch ID.
                  https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/system-patches.html

                  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 reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

                    @steveits I didn't know that way, I used the fetch command on the CLI to bring the file and replace the original.

                    Thanks.

                      @machasachaira :) System Patches is relatively new (1-2 years), and a wonderful idea. Netgate publishes a list of Recommended patches for the version you're on. Updating that package updates the list of patches. Any patch with a commit ID can also be pulled in.

                      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 reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

                          Applied this patch 2 days ago. Absolutely solved the 3am memory leak. However, dns broke on my sg 1100 the past two days. I had to restart the dns resolver service to restore dns. Anyone else experiencing this?

                            @mr-castoro There are a bunch of DNS threads lately.
                            If you have Resolver set to forward, ensure DNSSEC is unchecked.

                            Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.

                              @mr-castoro Have you restarted your SG after the patch update? I have not experienced any problems after rebooting.

                                  @mr-castoro -- No problems with my SG-1100 and DNS but I use the "Forwarder" and not the "Resolver" and I point the Forwarder to my two Pi-hole IPs. Works great that way!

                                  Also, instead of pointing it to a Pi-hole, you could just use: 9.9.9.9, 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or some other external DNS.
