      pfSsh.php playback pfanchordrill

      That lists no rules.

        Looks like having a block rule on that interface is "fixing" it for my eyes. 😉

        That turned out not to be the case, still seeing these log entries. 🙁

          Ok and your ruleset doesn't have any lines that don't have an ridentifier?

          For example this test box doesn't have any that might block traffic:

          [2.8.1-RELEASE][admin@t70.stevew.lan]/root: pfctl -sr | grep -v ridentifier
          scrub from any to <vpn_networks> fragment no reassemble

          scrub on igb0 inet6 all fragment reassemble
          scrub on igb1 inet all fragment reassemble
          scrub on igb1 inet6 all fragment reassemble

              Hmm, nothing there then. 🤔 It pretty much has to be some dynamic rule change.... Hmm

                Despite unticking "Packets blocked due to IP options" in the log-settings, those entries still come up. 😉

                  run "pfSsh.php playback pfanchordrill" for that

                  Not related, just for the the record :
                  pfanchordrill breaks when the captive portal is used :

                  [25.07.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.bhf.tld]/root: pfSsh.php playback pfanchordrill

                  hostname_0 rules/nat contents:

                  pfctl: DIOCGETRULES: Invalid argument
                  

                  Looks like 'pf' and 'pfctl' don't speak same language ^^

                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                  Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    @Gertjan Hmm, when you see that it's almost always because it's pulled in something newer. Or not rebooted after an upgrade. So some mismatch between kernel and world. But let me check....

                      There is no rule at all on that interface.

                      This feels like a clue. What is that 'interface'—PRIVVPN—then? What's it do? What's it for? What kind of traffic is supposed to be passing it, from and to where?

                      Notice in OP how the oldest packet is apparently a TCP packet without any flag set, no source/destination ports logged? But then the next packet is an ACK in the same direction, ostensibly from a webserver, and this time with logged ports?

                      And this...

                            when you see that it's almost always because it's pulled in something newer.

                            Noop. I should be on 'Release', not RC or beta.

                            I'm, imho, on a rock solid 25.07.1. I saw the same thing happening on (several ?) versions before.
                            I've installed '25.07.1' clean and it was on of the first things I've tested.
                            I've written about it in the past, in the captive portal forum (I'll look it up : edit : here it is).

                            I use(d) this : Troubleshooting Captive Portal.

                            Even when I de activate the captive portal, I'll keep seeing this :

                            [25.07.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.bhf.tld]/root: pfSsh.php playback pfanchordrill
                            
                            cpzoneid_2_allowedhosts rules/nat contents:
                            pfctl: DIOCGETETHRULES: No such file or directory
                            
                            hostname_0 rules/nat contents:
                            pfctl: DIOCGETRULES: Invalid argument
                            pfctl: DIOCGETRULES: Invalid argument
                            

                            If I recall well, restarting pfSense without the portal will solve the issue.
                            Re activating the portal will bring the issue back.

                            dit : Bob.dig, sorry for polluting your post.

                            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                            Edit : and where are the logs ??

                              But it does give some insight into this system's configuration. Definitely makes it all less of a wonder.

                              I changed mine, to look like yours. Let's see, if it has any positive impact.

                              Btw, your questions have been already answered here, it is a WAN-type interface and with that, it can have no rules and be perfectly fine.

                                [in New log type entry?:]

                                Notice in OP how the oldest packet is apparently a TCP packet without any flag set, no source/destination ports logged? But then the next packet is an ACK in the same direction, ostensibly from a webserver, and this time with logged ports?

                                Any thoughts provoked there? I don't see that as having been addressed anywhere.

                                All due politeness—but a jacked-up system has the potential to 'trigger' jacked-up logging...

                                  And this wouldn't seem feasible, so I'm not sure what you would've changed.

                                    There are a lot of interfaces but that all looks like expected output.

                                      What is hostname_0 in that context? I'll try to replicate with some clients on it....

                                        @stephenw10 If by "interfaces" you mean 'four virtualized interfaces, some outrageous number of virtual sub-virtualized interfaces, and a buncha WireGuard sprinkled in'—sure.

                                            Hey, I wouldn't have even chimed in if not for the incessant...

                                            Looks like having a block rule on that interface is "fixing" it for my eyes. 😉

                                            ...insinuation...

                                            I hope you guys will find the secret rule. 😉

                                            ...that...

                                            those entries still come up. 😉

                                            ...there's some kind of development issue here. Outrageous indeed.
