PFBlockerNG 2.1.1_2 Memory Errors
-
pfB_Top_v6 was about 13000-ish before as far as i recall.
-
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 ?
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 -
Me Too…..
(NOTE - malloc failure still shows 512mb of ram. My mem limit seems to be ignored)I'm using
pfb_global();
ini_set('memory_limit', '4096M');Still fails when updating with....

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:…
- 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.

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.

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. -

I don't think you need that PR, if you are following the pfBlockerNG v2.0 w/DNSBL thread, you should have known that we are working on a fix that shouldn't require modifying memory_limit or php.ini.

I don't think you need that PR, if you are following the pfBlockerNG v2.0 w/DNSBL thread, you should have known that we are working on a fix that shouldn't require modifying memory_limit or php.ini.
A 55 page, nine month old thread introducing the feature seems like a weird place to have active commentary on fixing the bug reported in this one.
-
This thread is about fixing memory issues introduced by MaxMind database changes.
The post about "Blocking the world" is about people configuration that trigger the bug.
It is normally useless to Block the world and the comment is in the right place in the pfBlockerNG w/DNSBL thread.The thread has 55 pages, because pfBlockerNG is not trivial to configure.
Since when the size of a thread make it irrelevant to read it? -

I followed the post below, and then ran the geoip download which completed successfully. Then while running the update from pfBlocker it froze, and the network went down. Now the DHCP does not assign addresses to the network and I cannot access the box except going directly to it with KBB and monitor.
Reverting changes and rebooting does not resolve. Running any option from the terminal returns the above error. If only the devs hadn't removed the script for manual backups and recovery….

So what modification did you do.
On i386, only the pfblockerng.inc fix is normally required.The config.inc was just stated for referenced.If you modified it, maybe you forgot to put the "M" in 256M? (262144 bytes exhausted)The /etc/rc.php_ini_setup & /usr/local/etc/php.ini fix is for amd64 that need more than 512MB.
