RuleError:There were errors loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:18: cannot alloc

[toms88]

Hi All

Im pretty new to PFsense at the moment but just saw these flagging up from today (been running since a week ago now).

I have 5 rules in total including the 2 default ones from PFSense and GB's of memory available.

Any idea what this is about?

There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:18: cannot define table bogonsv6: Cannot allocate memory - The line in question reads [18]: table <bogonsv6> persist file "/etc/bogonsv6"

I have the same problem on 4 pfsense servers, yesterday reinstall one and today 3 more shows the errors!!!! I suspect it's a hacking problem….

Any can help us??

Thanks.

That's not a hacking problem, it's an upgrade glitch.
Several others reported this already so watch the forum and read what other threads come up with.

Not hacking ffs.

Do a forum search.

It Works Well!!!!!!Thanks  :D

[csandoval012]

mine is on default
Maximum number of connections to hold in the firewall state table.
Note: Leave this blank for the default. On this system the default size is: 4909000

should I put more than that?

[Derelict]

It is not the Firewall Maximum States entry it is the Firewall Maximum Table Entries setting. Set it to 400000.

This solved it for me after losing NAT port forwarding during a reboot this morning.  Thanks!

=================================

Post increasing the Firewall Maximum Table Entries size to 400000 , all rules started working.. Thanks buddy.. i helped a lot..

[itlogicsystems]

Thanks so much for the input!  the changing of the 'max table entries' size to 400k did the trick!!

[aagaag]

Just wanted to say that I got the same message today, although my system says that its default is 6 million entries.

[Derelict]

Set it to 400000.

[DrRobe]

Worked perfectly, thank you!

[Bon Jovi]

@derelict hello, i have set it in 400000 and even don't work. Can you suggest any other solution, please?

[jimp]

Use a bigger number. Try 2000000.

If you have a lot of table entries (especially with pfBlockerNG) you might need that or more.

[Derelict]

And be sure you're changing the right value. People, for some reason, seem to confuse Maximum States and Maximum Table Entries. Maximum Table Entries is what you want to change here.
