Dhcpd: send_packet: Operation not permitted
-
Hello,
Everything was working fine for the past 6 months until this morning, Pfsense was very slow / not working ( packet loss ect … ) so I rebooted it, after it comes back online I checked the syslog and saw those errors:
Last 100 system log entries Mar 23 10:23:30 dhcpd: send_packet: Operation not permitted Mar 23 10:23:26 dhcpd: send_packet: Operation not permitted Mar 23 10:23:22 dhcpd: icmp_echorequest 192.168.0.196: Operation not permitted ...

Thank you,

Thinking out loud here.
Sounds like the firewall, or something is blocking those packets. Did anyone change anything just recently? If not have a look in your rules maybe something is corrupted. I would restore your config from you last backup.
Other than that that maybe Maybe a disk or flash corrupting or faulty NIC, but issues? -
Do you have any idea why it's happening?
Maybe resource exhaustion, no free mbufs. What is displayed by pfSense shell command
netstat -m
You might have to type this on the console.

Result of the netstat:

No requests were denied nor are any of the pools close to the maximum value so it looks as if the problem wasn't one of running out of a kernel network resource.
