        500000 should be fine.

            @jimp said in RuleError:There were errors loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:18: cannot alloc:

            Use a bigger number. Try 2000000.

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

            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!
