      Hardware: SG-6100
      Software: pfSense+ 23.05
      Latest Change: I have Instealled Squid Proxy tuned for SSL Interception only on the LAN interface (I have multiple).
      Ive noticed that theres been an increase in Swap usage although my physical RAM is still undertilized. This has happneed since the Squid install.

      Any thouhgts on whats going on?

        You are running ZFS? Are you using the default ZFS tuning values?

            Ok, then I would try setting a limit on the arc.max initially.
