      I am running IPTV through my pfsense box using the IGMP proxy service.  It works great for about a day then it starts acting "flakey"  It seems there are currently two ways for me to "fix" this.

      1. Restart the IGMP Proxy
      2. Restart the pfsense box - I currently have this set up as cron job for the early morning hours

      However, I really dont like this solution.  Is there a way to restart just the igmp proxy with a cron job?  What might I look into to fix this problem so I wont have to do either one.  There is nothing helpful showing up in my logs..

      Update:  I checked my logs again and found this:

      igmpproxy: Warn: age_table_entry: SIOCGETSGCNT failing for (184.61.183.136 239.21.3.254); Errno(49): Can't assign requested address

        Start new thread or use this…?

        I have a similar problem with the IGMP proxy every 10 minutes this shows up in the systemlog:

        igmpproxy: Note: New origin for route 239.2.0.251 is 192.168.8.192, flood -1
        igmpproxy: Note: Route is not active. No kernel updates done.
        igmpproxy: Warn: MRT_DEL_MFC; Errno(49): Can't assign requested address
        igmpproxy: Note: Removing MFC: 192.168.8.192 -> 239.2.0.251, InpVIf: 1
        igmpproxy: Warn: age_table_entry: SIOCGETSGCNT failing for (192.168.8.192 239.2.0.251); Errno(49): Can't assign requested address

        I use the IGMP proxy to get RTSP to work over VPN-tunnel.

        Is there something that can be done about this?

          I have exactly the same issue:

          https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=74126.0

          Did you ever manage to work out how to setup a cron job just to restart the IGMP Proxy rather than the whole router?

            I ended up changing net.inet.ip.fastforwarding to 1, its under system tunables, this seemed to fix it right up.  no cron job required.

                  Unfortunately it didn't work for me…

                  I have a TV-server (DVB-T2) on my LAN-side, wich streams TV to the clients on the LAN, and I want to be able to watch TV with clients connected through an OpenVPN-tunnel, but I can't get it to work for more than a few minutes.

                  Anyone who could be nice and patient enough to explain to me how I should set this up?
