      Hi,

      I get the following error, it happens every few hours (at random) and stops all WAN traffic. One also has trouble accessing the pfsense web interface.

      2012/05/08 16:48:00| httpAccept: FD 20: accept failure: (53) Software caused connection abort

      Thus, the only answer is to power off and on again. This is very annoying.

      Anyone has a solution for me?

      I'm running 2.01 with squid3 and multi-WAN loadbalanced. It did the same with squid2.7 so I hoped upgrading would help. But, no it didn't - still get same error.

        MrsPotter,

        I'm not getting this error on any of my 05 squid caches.

        I found this thread at freebsd forum, may help on understanding the problem.

        As you cannot access web interface, maybe you are reaching MBUF or State table size limit.

        You can check both on dashboard.

          Hi,

          Still can't find the cause - so when I get an open slot, I'll just try re-installing the whole system from scratch and see if it stops.

          This system only serves 40 users or so, and I never get anywhere near the size limit of MBUF or state table.

          I run it on a P4 3GHz with 2GB RAM, 40GB HDD and very seldomly the CPU goes above 10% and memory never above 40%. So I don't think it is a performance issue either.

          Might it be a faulty RAM module?

          Cheers,

          MrsPotter
