        That's a fun log message  :)

        I guess it continues to happen roughly once a minute? Can you get a packet capture via Diagnostics > Packet Capture? With count 0, and let it run for about 5 minutes, then click Stop and download the .cap file. Then attach that here or if it may contain sensitive info, email it to me referencing this forum thread (cmb at pfsense dot org).

          Yeah, every minute+2secs :)

          I will email it to you, as it is too large to attach.
