      OK…  Now maybe I'll try what others suggested...  :)

      I wiped and reinstalled pfsense tonight and pfblockng is still coming back with that crash and memory errors.  I know others said to adjust the memory but I thought I would give this a try.  Unfortunately, it failed.

      I also had issues with php-fpm having high utilization....so I'm hoping that the wipe/reinstall fixed the issue with that.  Time will tell.

        What about posting pfblockerNG, system log, crash report, screen shot of system activity, etc, so we can see what is happening on your setup?

        The crash report you posted earlier tells me you have under 400MB defined.

        PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 402653184 bytes exhausted

        Did you raise the Firewall Maximum Table Entries ?

          Temporary Fix for

          php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php update

          Failing with memory exhaustion:

          edit /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc as discussed above:
          …
          pfb_global();
          ini_set('memory_limit', '640M');
          ...

          cp /etc/rc.php_ini_setup /etc/rc.php_ini_setup.BACKUP
          cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini /usr/local/etc/php.ini.BACKUP
          perl -pi -e 's/536870912/671088640/g' /etc/rc.php_ini_setup /usr/local/etc/php.ini

          512 * 1024 * 1024 -> 536870912
          640 * 1024 * 1024 -> 671088640 works for me. maybe your setup needs more :)

            There is probably a setting (memory_limit?) we can configure in the System/Advanced/System Tunables that will do that for you. But it may require a reboot.

            The fix for the inc file is specific to pfblocker and shouldn't be needed once BBcan177 change the code.

              1.4mio entries? That can't be right?

              cat pfB_Top_v4.txt | wc -l
                22410

              Could this be the the root cause of all this?

                What was the size of pfB_Top_v6.txt before the MaxMind db change ?  I do not use these table, so I can't compare.

                On option BBcan177 mentioned was that he might need to aggregate the table  to shrink them.

                  pfB_Top_v6 was about 13000-ish before as far as i recall.

                    I've been busy the past couple of days and blowing it away and restoring the config was pretty simple.  I'm going to try to work on this a bit more this week and take the suggestions of what others have posted to see if it fixes it.  I am going to guess that changing the memory settings around will help, but I also need to buy more memory for my system.

                      Hi,

                      I've been reading this forum and trying to figure out if there is a fix for this or not. I really didn't see anyone say "This is the fix" with instructions.

                      Can someone point me in the right direction?
                      Has anyone contacted the package creator?
                      Why hasn't anyone pulled this package from being install if there is issues with it?

                      They should pull this package if its not working. It pretty much killed my pfsense box and I had to remove it.

                      Sorry for being so direct. But I just had to shut down my firewall ports to my websites and I'm trying to get this fixed as soon as possible so I can bring them back online.

                      Thanks,
                      Rick

                          All the php-scripts spawned by the gui are constrained by the memory-limit set by suhosin. Which is 512MB.

                          That's what my perl-one-liner was for. I even increased the limit to 4GB for testing today …

                            How I solved my problem:…

                            1. Updated Firewall Maximum Table Entries: 4000000 -> 8000000

                            This ended up being the missing link for me. My default was 2M. When Perforado mentioned the count in  /var/db/aliastables/ I checked mine: 4.4M in those lists alone. I bumped my max table entries in System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT from 2M to 10M and pfblockerng started working again.

                              Setting 'memory_limit' in the inc file is maxed by the suhosin.memory_limit.

                              The memory_limit is defined in /etc/inc/config.inc

                              // Set memory limit to 512M on amd64.
                              if ($ARCH == "amd64") {
                              	ini_set("memory_limit", "512M");
                              } else {
                              	ini_set("memory_limit", "128M");
                              }
                              

                              So for those using many IPV6 GeoIP table on amd64, they probably have to change /usr/local/etc/php.ini, /etc/rc.php_ini_setup, pfblockerng.inc as well as the Firewall Maximum Table Entries

                              The php memory issues are not specific to pfBlockerNG, backup crashes when backup size is too big, the Diagnostics/Tables will crash when viewing huge table, etc.

                                        I changed the fire wall rule # to 8000000 and added  ini_set("memory_limit", "768M");
                                        I still see the error above. But I at lest have routing back.

                                        Did you fix  /usr/local/etc/php.ini, /etc/rc.php_ini_setup ?

                                        What fix?

                                        php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php update

                                        Failing with memory exhaustion:

                                        edit /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc as discussed above:
                                        …
                                        pfb_global();
                                        ini_set('memory_limit', '640M');
                                        ...

                                        cp /etc/rc.php_ini_setup /etc/rc.php_ini_setup.BACKUP
                                        cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini /usr/local/etc/php.ini.BACKUP
                                        perl -pi -e 's/536870912/671088640/g' /etc/rc.php_ini_setup /usr/local/etc/php.ini

                                        512 * 1024 * 1024 -> 536870912
                                        640 * 1024 * 1024 -> 671088640 works for me. maybe your setup needs more :)

                                        You can edit the files or do the perl command

                                          Hello!

                                          I also had this problem. Editing the files as described earlier (including The memory_limit defined in /etc/inc/config.inc where I increased the amd64 limit to 640M)  was part of the solution for me.
                                          The last thing for me was to increase the Firewall Maximum Table Entries: 2000000 -> 10000000. When using pfBlockerNG the total of firewall rules are about 4500000 rows now. Reloading those rules requires about 9000000 table entries since that the new rules are loaded before the old ones are deleted ending up with temporary 9000000 million rows in the table.
                                          If you have lesser than 9000000 you will get an out-of-memory error message plus that some rules are not loaded correctly.
