Deactivating service 19001-tcp due to excessive incoming connections
-
Accessing my log in Status > System Logs > System > General, I noticed that the message below appears every hour or so:
xinetd 73010 Deactivating service 19001-tcp due to excessive incoming connections. Restarting in 10 seconds.
I believe it has to do with my NAT to port 443 on my web server which is in the DMZ, could anyone confirm?

You probably have NAT reflection enabled in NAT+Proxy mode on that port forward. That's almost never required.

@stephenw10 I noticed that this happened whenever I enabled a NAT rule, so I followed this tutorial https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/port-forwards-from-local-networks.html and changed the NAT +Proxy for Pure NAT, and I checked both checkbox options... it worked, now logs no longer appear every 15 minutes... thanks
