      env:
      PFsense 2.8.0
      tailscale, wireguard

      Eventually in 15 to 16 hours , he memory used goes upto 97% of allocated memory. Currently I have given 48GB to this VM. At the end of, DNS resolution stops and becomes unsuable. It needs a reboot and will be back in business. This DNS resolution with tailscale something is going on which is eating up and leaking memory. Any suggestions to overcome this situation, thanks in advance.

        Does it report the memory usage in both Proxmox and pfSense?

        Can you see what's using it in the output of top or ps?
