          2.4.5-p1 did not fix the issue for me. Or it is a different issue with very similar symptoms?

          Netgate C2758 hardware, HA configuration. LAGG to switches. Configuration has been rock solid for years and unchanged, since upgrading to 2.4.5 I have had issues with unexpected CARP failovers. Thought the L2 switches had gone bad so I replaced them with Cisco switches, no improvement.

          Correction - the 2.4.5-p1 high CPU fix does fix my issue.

          Somehow both units were incorrectly in "Persistent CARP Maintenance Mode" (likely that way before the upgrade). Taking them out of maintenance mode, and the upgrade to 2.4.5-p1 for high CPU fix, seems to have resolved my CARP state change issues. Thank you Netgate!

            Disabling promiscious mode triggers the CARP failover since it talks to the NIC?

            Can you adjust failover latency?

                Hyper-V 2 CPU cores with pfBlockerNG and Table Usage Count: 24691 is every 2 seconds unbound using 1CPU at 100%. When pfBlockerNG is disabled, all ok. With same lists on 2.4.4 there is no noticeable CPU usage at all. Problem still there. but not so critical as it was.
                p.s.
                And memory usage with pfBlockerNG is increased twice compare to 2.4.4.

                  been running 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) since release and all ok however since a recent reboot i now have unbound causing 100%+ CPU spikes. This was present in 2.4.5-RELEASE (amd64) but not in 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 (amd64)

                    this causes DNS outages frequently for 10-15 seconds at a time.

                            That has nothing to do with this thread. Start your own thread for that issue. Locking.
