      Hey

      I have been running pfSense on a VM to secure my network
      but recently all trafic from the LAN side of the network started being blocked
      after some troubleshooting I found out that on a filter reload the error:
      There were error(s) loading the rules: no IP address found for 2400:d3a0:�� - The line in question reads [0]:
      I have not been able to find how to fix this error
      any help would be appreciated

            I was talking about the https://forum.netgate.com/recent.rss RSS feed that get broken with your line. 😉

            In you case, maybe look at the aliases to see where that IP is defined. Maybe you put a MAC address in lieu of a hostname.

              Ah right
              I don't think I have any aliasses defined (not currently on site to check)

                Look at the Firewall Rules then.

                    Provide more info on your box :

                    pfsense version, platform, packages installed, system logs files, screenshots of Services configuration , Firewall Aliases / Nats / Rules etc.

                      Hey

                      This error occurs when pfsense check file /tmp/rules.debug with command
                      pfctl -o basic -f /tmp/rules.debug
                      here is this text 2400:d3a0:� � shows that pfctl did not find the IP address for this device/interface (I don't know what it is, very similar to a part of ipv6 address)

                      Try so
                      https://your_PF_ip_address/status.php
                      and try to find the line 2400:d3a0:
                      or
                      run the ifconfig command
                      isn't there something similar ?

                        Have a look at Diagnostics Arp Table and NDP table
