Just out of the blue
Why should u use the script to kill
The states via cron...Is there a use case that someone can explain ;)
To be honest I never thought of this, the one time was when optimize fail over n switch back of multi Wan

@Derelict said in How to reset state table with cron.:
Probably not a "modem" but an ISP router that has a built-in modem and a firewall of its own.
Concur - but killing states on downstream router (pfsense), not going to clear those.. If anything it would leave them hanging..
If I had to guess, is he prob had something using up his bandwdith.. And killing that via killing states freed that up..
Killing all states on pfsense is not the solution here, can tell you that much.

got this one

@johnpoz 20k states does not mean you have 20k users. 1 user could make 10k active connections like downloading lot of torrents.Yes it is a roiuter sorry not modem. PLDT and Converge routers has these problem with their routers . I use VPN to reduce these problem so that only the VPN pipe the modem can see. However I dont tunnel all connections, real time traffic will be lag if I pass it on vpn.

@noplan YEs PLDT Home fiber has these problem, I use to pass some traffic to vpn to reduce the problem. Whenever active states reaches 20k sometimes my internet disconnected or it gets laggy. when I flush the states it gets back to normal.

Yeah you have fun with that...
20k states does not mean you have 20k users.
Just at a loss for words, really..

@johnpoz I have lot of wifi vending machine connected to my internet.

Wifi vending machine...
So cool! -
You should get internet service that doesn't suck.
Or put whatever device is in front of pfSense in bridge mode, etc.

Exactly what the ISP service line did saturday
with one of our Wan connections here
Settin this box in bridge mode or as they call it dummy modeAfter they did it
A) connection improved
B) speed improved
C) more noise (cuz lack of providers global block list)Feels goood
