        Its saying that your block list table in pfsense is huge and php ran out of memory.

        You can get rid of that error by removing the blocked ips from the snort2c pf table.

        and putting them in another table.

          HI Thanks

          about this

          "You can get rid of that error by removing the blocked ips from the snort2c pf table."

          I have removed every thing from Block log and alert log. it does not have anything in there

          still i have seeing the same error

          Or php programm was eating too much memory almost 99% of the cpu .

          what shall i do ??
          Thanks
