Title: smart TV causes memory usage to double within Opnsense when turned on
Post by: DEC740airp414user on May 03, 2026, 10:50:25 AM
I have a 4-5 year old fully "updated". Samsung Tizen based TV.    I have also factory reset this tv and started over with the configuration.
that's means removing any additional or any apps I don't want.   It has Apple TV, amazon, and YouTube app, Samsung TV.

its on its own separate Vlan/ dedicated port on my DEC 740 Appliance.

what are your thought that would cause memory to increase by X2 by just turning on a "smart" device?    it pretty much stays that high even up to 30 minutes after the tv is turned off?

Lots of firewall states?  Do you see a big increase in Reporting->Health->System (states) for that time period?

will check the next time I turn on the tv.

I am probably going to get a different product to stream.   my gut feeling is tizen is no longer supported / EOL

was hoping for someone with more knowledge to find where its coming from thanks opnenthu
