    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
