    Hello. I installed pfsense today and register own maxmind license key
    After Add GEO IP block rule

    There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:34: cannot define table pfB_Europe_v4: Cannot allocate memory - The line in question reads [34]: table <pfB_Europe_v4> persist file "/var/db/aliastables/pfB_Europe_v4.txt"

    Sometimes change country name but same

    This is my pfsense update tab. It was 400000 table-entries hard limit after installation
    So I increased to 600000 but same symtom.

    What can I trying?

    Thanks

      increase table limit again to 800000 or more, afaik when you update the rules, new one take place before purging the old rules, from 444598 to 600000 you have litle space to move

            @GPRV9dzPhG I think you need at least double the table usage for the hard limit, because temporarily both new and old are held in memory. Mine was set at 2,000,000 out of the box.

              I increased it 1600000. And It solved

              Thanks a lot!

              I wonder how this value calculated

              Thanks
