      Gave Nexus another shot, new issue now, last time it was memory leak, now cpu usage.

      Changed firewall and NAT rules using pfBlocker aliases to 'any'.
      Removed the pfBlockerNG package.
      Removed the Suricata package.
      Enabled Nexus.
      Set DNS Resolver to use port 5353.
      Enabled CoreDNS.
      Enabled ThreatGate, set my Account ID and License Key, and created a GeoIP managed alias feed.
      Enabled this feed.
      Using this feed in my firewall rules (noticed that the feed is IPv4 only, so I didn't use it in IPv6 rules).

      And now, my pfSense is stuck at 99% CPU usage.

      Question: Is anyone here successfully using Nexus?

      EDIT: Closed the Nexus WebGUI and now CPU usage is around 10% for that same process.
