      Hi!  I added a couple more lists to my pfblocker install and now am seeing the memory allocation error…

      PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc, Line: 2496, Message: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8192 bytes)	@ 2018-01-24 17:44:39
Close

      I have 8 gigs of memory in the box at 19% utilized, and 0% swap used out of 16gb.  I was wondering if this is a fluke, or if I should change something around so that I'm not seeing this error.

      Versions:
      pfsense: 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
      pbBlockerNG: 2.1.2_2

      Thanks!

        Just clear the notice for now… I suspect that it doesn't repeat once you clear it...

        Can you try the following patch?
        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=110515.60

        The next version of the package has a new function that will improve this issue from repeating...

        Thanks!

          Thanks, I'm going to give it a shot.  I'm glad I scrolled down in that thread to see how easy the patch manager is to use in pfsense.  :)  I was going to do it by hand.

            Based on reading that thread it seems like it should be cleared up. I'm on 2.4.3 and 2.1.2_2. SG3100.  Every time I clear it I see it again the next time I login.

              pfSense 2.4.3 I have the same issue after updating to this version.
              Also My VAR usage goes from like 200mb to 2GB.
              The PHP message repeats every 2-3 days consistently.
              Interestingly restarting does not fix my var usage, If i restart my openvpn client deamon then the var usage goes back down. I am using ram disks btw and would like to allocate less ram to my pfsense vm but this error prevents me from doing so.

                Try the latest DEVEL version:
