            Anything else in the logs at that time or just preceding it?

              @stephenw10 Unfortunately timestamps dont go back that far to see. I do have this recurring error in the routing log:

              May 29 10:35:43	miniupnpd	94484	ioctl(dev, DIOCCHANGERULE, ...) PF_CHANGE_ADD_TAIL: File exists

              Also notice that snort is turning on by itself (I use suricata) even when the service is stopped. Wondering if that is contributing to this error.

                Are you running the update miniupnpd pkg?

                How are you disabling Snort?
                Yes, running both Snort and Suricata is not supported.

                  @stephenw10 Not sure what miniupnpd pkg I'm running, For now I uninstalled the Snort package.

                    There is an updated miniupnpd pkg available in 24.03. If you run pkg upgrade you will see it offered. It addresses this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15470

                          But you're not seeing the errors from miniupnpd?:

                              Hmm, and those errors occur at the same time I assume?

                              And still nothing else logged at that time? No even triggering this?

                                @stephenw10 The miniupnpd errors are running constantly although they don't trip error logs, just in the routing logs.

                                The other DIOCADDRULENV error triggers an error and it seems to fluctuate when it does.

                                  Ah, well that's an issue!

                                  Hmm, what does uname -a show? I wonder if it's somehow still running an old kernel.

                                      Hi
                                      I don't know if this will help or not
                                      But, judging by the code in the kernel, this error (in fact, this is not even a global error) suggests that some program is trying to add a rule identical to the one that has already been loaded into the kernel .
                                      in this way,in my opinion, this is not a system error, but an application that is trying to make changes to a certain ruleset

                                        @Konstanti conflict between pfblocker and suricata or my current rules conflicting with either of them?

                                          More like a UPnP application in some downstream client trying to open the same port forward repeatedly.

                                          However I would have thought miniupnpd would know that and not try to open it. Some more useful error in that situation seems likely.
