      Hello,

      My server running version: 2.3.2-RELEASE-P1 (amd64)

      With i7 CPU and 8 GB RAM, and running services ( DHCP, IP Forwarder, Snort, Captive Portal and ntopng) and I have 80 users connected via Wi-Fi

      everything is working fine but when users logins exceeded 50 users online, the whole lan stop responding and when I access to the dash board from WAN I got error message on DHCP logs as below

      "dhcpd: failed to send 300 byte long packet over em0 interface"
      "dhcpd: send_packet: Permission denied"

      also; there are no special firewall rules running.

        "Captive Portal"

        When you do a search for that permission denied error, I only see stuff related to captive portal.  Do you have some sort of limit on your captive portal?

          Captive Portal enabled with all defaults except

          • Maximum concurrent connections : limited to 5
          • disabled concurrent user logins

          And custom login page.

          That's all

          By theway everything running fine after I reboot the pfsense but the problem repeated once or twice  every day
