      Hello guys,
      On the previous pf 2.4.3 version i remember that my ram was always at 60% using my feeds selections from pfblocker.
      With pf 2.4.4 and now the latest if i do a force reload or reboot the system i see the same aprox 60% ram used but after a period of time my ram usage will go down to 24% ,i check the logs from pfblocker and i din't saw any error.
      Can someone tell me if this is normal?
      Thanks

        It's related to FreeBSD memory management and Unbound memory usage. After about 3hrs, the Kernel release the memory. Next time Unbound restart or reload it will grab that memory for another 3hrs.

        2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
        Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz 8GB
        Backup 0.5_5, Bandwidthd 0.7.4_4, Cron 0.3.7_5, pfBlockerNG-devel 3.0.0_16, Status_Traffic_Totals 2.3.1_1, System_Patches 1.2_5

          Move to pfBlockerNG-devel as it should be an improvement.

            @bbcan177 I am already using pfBlockerNG-devel, and i read yesterday about this bug with unbound reported after @RonpfS told me.
            Pfblocker is doing his job from what i saw,i was just curios about the ram behavior.
            Thanks both for the help .
