Issues after update to 2.4.3
-
This morning I updated from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3 and after rebooting I am now unable to access the web admin page. I've tried rebooting the firewall a couple of times but this hasn't helped. I am able to use the USB console cable to connect to the console but I'm not sure what I need to do to be able to get into the web admin GUI again?
Whats also strange is that although my internet is working I can't RDP into my servers on another VLAN.
So to start with, how do I get into the web admin GUI again?
-
I managed to gain access by temporarily disabling pf and this is what I was presented with in the GUI (see attached)
What is the issue here? Cannot allocate memory, what does this mean?
-
IT means you have the same problem that a lot of others are having with this upgrade. This is like the fourth or fifth post about this exact same issue that I've read.

I increased my "Firewall Maximum Table Entrie" from 200000 to 400000 and that seemed to do the trick.
-
The issue is present with 2.4.2p1 also.
Increasing the maximum table size resolve the issue. -
Yeah I believe the coincidence with 2.4.3 is just that - a coincidence. The bogonsv6 file simply seems to have grown to a point it is tickling the 200000 default, though I have no historical size data of that table.
Using things like pfBlockerNG will only increase your chances of exceeding that allocation limit.

Bogonsv6 reached 95K entries last week.
Only people with "serious" setup encountered this behaviour because they already have a lot of alias/tables configured.
I think it should be safe to increase the default value to something bigger. -
Hello
Access the console and use option 11 and retry access in the GUI
