          Hello,

          I'm encountering a problem since my update to PfSense 2.3.2.

          I've reinstalled my PfSense Box 8 times in 3 days, each time where I'm using PfSense without PfBlockerNG all is fine, and when I'm installing PfBlockerNG, after few hours (30 minutes to 6 hours) my Box begin to be unaccessible, SSH and Serial, on serial I got a lot of lines of "swap_pager_getswapspace(X): failed".

          **Material :
          I'm using Lanner Box FW-7568B (spec here in 2 words the specs are :
          Intel Atom Dual Core Pineview D-525
          8 x GbE Ports (6 x Intel 82574L and 2x Intel 82541P1)
          4 Gb DDR3 800 Mhz SODIMM (In fact it's 1 Gb on Motherboard and 4 Gb in SODIMM but the max used by system is 4 Gb)
          SSD 128 Go SATA
          Hitachi Travelstar 250 Go

          **OS :
          PfSense 2.3.2 AMD64 (built on Tue Jul 19 12:44:43 CDT 2016)
          Full Install from USB Key, with Custom options, embed Kernel

          **Interfaces setup :
          I'm using a LAGG 8 x 1 GbE with 802.3ad switch behind (2 x Netgear M5300).
          4 x WAN connection, all ADSL, 3 are fixed IP and one is dynamic.
          All interfaces are on VLAN, just LAN is on LAGG0

          **My Packages are :
          Avahi : 1.11_2
          Nut : 2.3.1
          Notes : 0.2.9-2
          Service_Watchdog : 1.8.3
          PfBlokerNG : Before reinstall it was 2.1.1 after 2.1.1_2

          **System tunables :
          I'm using system tunables since this lot of crash for this parameters : kern.ipc.nmbclusters

          I haven't modified my PfSense installation, I'm using my backuped config.xml who contains parameters for all my package listed upon, and for snort (I'm not using i since a lot of time)

          The first time where this happen (10 days ago, with 5 days of balckout because I wasn't near of the box) on 2.3.1, with the update of PfBlokerNG 2.1.1 to 2.1.1_2, I was on vacation, and my Box become unaccessible, when I was back, I've seen my Box unable to boot after the "ldconfig" message during the boot process.

          I've changed my first drive from SSD to HDD, to be sure it wasn't a failed drive problem (same if SMART was ok).

          Can someone tell me what was wrong ? I'm not sure it's only a software problem, maybe hardware too or only, because my Box was up for 90 days (approx) without any problem and suddendly my problem begin with just PfBlokerNG update …
          I don't understand why when PfBlockerNG was installed and did reload the configuration after installation process, my Box become slow specially for Rules and PfBlockerNG page from Web GUI, and for SSH and Serial too.

          My config.xml don't have any "pf_*" rules, I've suppressed it manually for all my WAN interfaces, because latest backup (just before my precedent crash contain PfBlockerNG Rules), so I've clean it all PfBlockerNG related on rules, aliases URL, etc ... All my latest PfBlocker settings still on config.xml.

          So if you can point me  where my problem is I would realy appreciate ...

          Thanks in advance.

          Best regards,
          Alex.**********

              What do you need ?

              I know top -aSH, system.log, but what other ?

              The problem is, if the box was unnaccessible, I have no other way rebooting it, and after this, PfSense no longer boot, still blocked after system 32 ldconfig, just before loading fstab I assume, so if you know how to get back the information, i could give you a lot more … (I think too many process are writing, and finaly file system was corrupted, so I can't no longer mount the system, I've try by rescue mode from PfSense installation,w ithout success !)

              I'll reinstall PfBlockerNG and wait for a crash and give you the results, juste let me know what's the best informations to keep before and after crash and Ill do !

              Thanks in advance.

              Best regards,
              Alex.

                The logs are located in /var/log/pfblockerng

                Check to see if you have a loopback address with```
                grep "^127" /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/*

                
When you restore the config, edit the config file first and change <enable_cb>on</enable_cb> to off, this way pfBlockerNG isn't enabled on reboot.

If you are using DNSBL, on restore a missing pfb_dnsbl.conf would prevent the Resolver from starting. You can :```
touch /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl.conf

                before the reboot in order to have unbound start and get Resolver service running.

                  This error from DHCPD only occur when PfBlokerNG is installed, I don't understand why …

                    Out of swap space?

                    Too little ram?

                    Pfblockerng was starting to swap for me at 8 gigs, so I bought another 8 to be safe.

                      I've found (thanks johnpoz) that my problem seem to be a memory problem :

                      2016-07-25 17:18:22 err local7 dhcpd /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php: PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /etc/inc/config.lib.inc, Line: 202, Message: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 13129085 bytes)

                      johnpoz gived me thread where this problem is discussed : here

                      Is this "patch" working ? :

                      Temporary Fix for

                      php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php update

                      Failing with memory exhaustion:

                      cp /etc/rc.php_ini_setup /etc/rc.php_ini_setup.BACKUP
                      cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini /usr/local/etc/php.ini.BACKUP
                      perl -pi -e 's/536870912/671088640/g' /etc/rc.php_ini_setup /usr/local/etc/php.ini

                      512 * 1024 * 1024 -> 536870912
                      640 * 1024 * 1024 -> 671088640 works for me. maybe your setup needs more

                      What will be the correct memory size for 64 Bits installation ? On i386 BBcan77 seem to recommend 300M.

                      Perhaps, I can't upgrade memory, my embeed can handle 4 Gb at maximum (I've update it with a 4 Gb memory).

                      Thanks for your help.

                      Best regards,
                      Alex.

                        Perforado's solution modify the pfsense installation and could be overwritten when fpsense update happens. The BBcan177 solution only fixes the pfBlockerNG system, so it shouldn't break anything else. By default is is 512MB on a amd64 box, so you might rise it to 640M or 768M.

                        How big is swap? Do you have /var in ram? Is-it filling up ?

                        More info on your swap space issue : https://www.google.com/search?q=swap_pager_getswapspace&hl=en-US

                        As for pfBlockerNG have a look at https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=102470.msg645219#msg645219

                        Did you look at the pfblockerNG.log to see if things are running fine ?

                          @Perforado:

                          All the php-scripts spawned by the gui are constrained by the memory-limit set by suhosin. Which is 512MB.

                          That's what my perl-one-liner was for. I even increased the limit to 4GB for testing today …

                          For those wandering about suhosin, it is defined in /usr/local/etc/php.ini

                          ; File generated from /etc/rc.php_ini_setup
output_buffering = "0"

session.hash_function = 1

; Extensions

; opcache Settings
opcache.enabled="1"
opcache.enable_cli="0"
opcache.memory_consumption="50"

[suhosin]
suhosin.get.max_array_index_length = 256
suhosin.get.max_vars = 5000
suhosin.get.max_value_length = 500000
suhosin.post.max_array_index_length = 256
suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000
suhosin.post.max_value_length = 500000
suhosin.request.max_array_index_length = 256
suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000
suhosin.request.max_value_length = 500000
suhosin.memory_limit = 536870912

                          Setting 'memory_limit' in the inc file is maxed by the suhosin.memory_limit.

                          The memory_limit is defined in /etc/inc/config.inc

                          // Set memory limit to 512M on amd64.
if ($ARCH == "amd64") {
	ini_set("memory_limit", "512M");
} else {
	ini_set("memory_limit", "128M");
}

                          So for those using many IPV6 GeoIP table on amd64, they probably have to change /usr/local/etc/php.ini /etc/rc.php_ini_setup and the pfblockerng.inc as well as the Firewall Maximum Table Entries

                          The php memory issues are not specific to pfBlockerNG, backup crashes when backup size is too big, the Diagnostics/Tables will crash when viewing huge table, etc.

                            Hi There,

                            Let me start by saying this is an awesome package and I love all your hard work on it!

                            I have a bit of an issue from time to time with the DNSBL. It seems some sites, in this case youtube.com, are getting falsely blocked with unbound/DNSBL. It comes up with "No Match" yet the block rule is still firing away. Any thuoghts as to why?

                            I've tried reinstalling the package, doing updates/reloads, to no avail. It does seem to work temporarily if I disable DNSBL, and works for a while until the states reset or DNS refreshes I guess when I re-enable DNSBL.

                            Picture attached. Note that youtube.com is already in the suppress list as well to whitelist it!

                            Cheers
                            Humm3r

                                This has been on and off for a week. I've tried updating as per the thread you linked to all week, but hasn't helped.

                                I'll keep trying to update and see what happens. let me know if there's anything else you can suggest, I do appreciate the link! :)

                                    That helped, but IE still gets an error about the certificates. I'm guessing this has to do with the ads being blocked. Just wanted to post back my findings, thanks for the help :)

                                    It works fine in Chrome which is my main browser.

                                        Crazy Question:
                                        Have up to date PFsense,  2.3.2-RELEASE (i386)
                                        built on Tue Jul 19 13:09:39 CDT 2016

                                        Installed pfBlockerNG package from web interface.
                                        INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY as it said when it completed.

                                        Could not find (it) anywhere in the web interface.

                                        REBOOTED

                                        Shows Installed: pfBlockerNG 2.1.1_2

                                        Still cannot find it or anywhere in the web interface.
                                        I understand it should show up under <firewall>in the web interface but is not there.

                                        Rebooting does not fix it.

                                        I have no clue what to try next.</firewall>

                                        I feel more like I do now.

                                          Check the installation logs, /var/log/pfblockerng/*, Dashboard for crash report etc.
