Same issue here. Only workaround is to disable the layer 7 completely.

tonybunce

We are seeing the same thing.

I was able to kill ipfw-classifyd from the shell and get back into the firewall.

There are tons of messages like this in the system log:
ipfw-classifyd: packet dropped: output queue full

mcwtim

Try increasing the queue size? The default values are pretty small.

Hi everybody! I have also this problem on my pfsense ver 2.2. cpu using 100% (new install, this first features its on) /
I trying using layer7 on ver 2.1.5. and its work normal, cpu not very use, about 5%.

Do NOT enable this on 2.2-RELEASE. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4276

Just confirming that this issue is ongoing.

Running 2.2.5 atm, and just set up a test environment for this, and can just say i get spammed by: "ipfw-classifyd: unable to write to divert socket: Operation not permitted"

All outbound traffic is completely blocked even tho i made a "queue" rule and not "block".

Guess layer 7 is just not working on 2.2.x?

Does anybody know where the root cause of the problem is?
Is it into the base FreeBSD kernel, into pfSense patches to FreeBSD kernel, into the userspace ipfw-classifyd?
