      If started from Diagnostic->pfTop just gives me "Invalid filter, check syntax" output regardless what I put in the filter. If I start it from the shell line I get:

      Error Reading status (DIOCGETSTATUS): Permission denied
      

      Anyone else seeing this?

        Diagnostics => pfTop : Works fine for me. Although, I advise you to access SSH, go god mode (8) and type pftop.

        Btw :

        2.4.3-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
        built on Thu May 10 15:02:52 CDT 2018
        FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p10
        

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Is this on 2.4.3 or 2.4.3-p1?

          Error Reading status (DIOCGETSTATUS): Permission denied

          Maybe you're running that as a regular user and not as root? It needs root permissions, or at least sudo.

            2.4.3-p1 and I'm running the command as root.

            I'll do a clean install and restore my config to see if my installation is broken somehow.

              Solved by a clean install. Something must have gotten messed up over numerous upgrades.
