Increase the Firewall Maximum Table Entries size to 400000 in System > Advanced, Firewall & NAT

It Works Well!!!!!!Thanks :D

csandoval012

mine is on default
Maximum number of connections to hold in the firewall state table.
Note: Leave this blank for the default. On this system the default size is: 4909000

should I put more than that?

Derelict

It is not the Firewall Maximum States entry it is the Firewall Maximum Table Entries setting. Set it to 400000.

=================================

itlogicsystems

Thanks so much for the input! the changing of the 'max table entries' size to 400k did the trick!!

aagaag

Just wanted to say that I got the same message today, although my system says that its default is 6 million entries.

Derelict

Set it to 400000.

DrRobe

Worked perfectly, thank you!

@derelict hello, i have set it in 400000 and even don't work. Can you suggest any other solution, please?

jimp

Use a bigger number. Try 2000000.

If you have a lot of table entries (especially with pfBlockerNG) you might need that or more.

Derelict

And be sure you're changing the right value. People, for some reason, seem to confuse Maximum States and Maximum Table Entries. Maximum Table Entries is what you want to change here.

Khampol

ok that works !
ps : if i put it to 500000 ? is there any pb ?

Derelict

500000 should be fine.

Khampol

@Derelict Ok got it. Thx ! :)

How this value correspond or depend to total amount of avail for FreeBSD system memory ?

Please point me on a source where described in details how important for network operations resources like

NICs controllers (CPU, memory on controllers, number of Eth ports on each controller);
whole appliance memory amount;
main appliance CPU;
and
memory/network/cpu core settings in FreeBSD;
influence on pfSense speed, troughtput and stability of operation.

Common words are less interesting than numbers, of course :)

Thank You!
