      So if you need the filters to resync, how do you stop the log spam from occurring? I've followed all of the advice provided.

        At the moment, you don't. There isn't a way in xinetd to stop it from being so chatty.

          What about stopping the underlying service that appears to be causing it to be chatty (i.e. the TFTP service)?

            Although I also have no interfaces selected I find a service entry in /var/etc/xinetd.conf, see attached. So I rem'd it out.

              Now I only get log entries "check_reload_status" "syncing firewall" every 15 minutes without readjusting service 6969-udp. I'll reduce the cron frequency as well.

                Well that didn't last long. Some other file removed the #rem from xinetd.conf.  Jimp, can you say how the service gets entered into the file so TFTP proxy can be rem'd out permanently?

                  FYI I just pushed a fix for this for all of the next release branches. If no interfaces are selected for TFTP proxy and reflection is not set to NAT+Proxy, the daemon will not attempt to run.

                        Will this fix be in the 2.4 release?

                          2.4, 2.3.3, and 2.3.2_2, it's in all the branches. Whichever one we put out next will have it.

                            Hi

                            2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)

                            I've just noticed I'm getting this as well.
                            No Interfaces selected in 'TFTP Proxy'.

                            Is there anything I can do manually until the next release is available ?

                            Thanks

                              Yeah, you can manually upgrade to 2.3.3-rc.

                                Any idea when 2.3.2.2 will come out?

                                  There won't be a 2.3.2_2, 2.3.3 is coming out shortly. Probably early next week, release images are building now and then we have to beat it up with testing for a couple days.

                                    I have this same issue as well since upgrading from 2.2.6 to 2.3.1 (and now 2.3.2).

                                    • Gateways are up

                                    • Happens whether monitoring is disabled or enabled.

                                    • Happens whether state killing on gateway failure is disabled or enabled

                                    I have the same issue as above although i use the most recently stable version. I'm a newcomer of pfsense. I have to say the help docs are not good. For example, I cant even find a sample or demo to help  set up flow control of my network which is so easy in other cheap routers.  Pfsense is professional but not user friend. Who can show me how to set a rule to block MACs or bind MACs to a fixed IP?
