      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.

        Do a forum search.

            No, I'm pretty sure it's hacking.  It's always hacking.  ;D

                  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?

                    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!

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

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

                                      Use a bigger number. Try 2000000.

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

                                        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.
