I'd love to, but I can't even SSH into it when it happens.

I talked with the author, there will come many more rules, so I think using this list is only for high end hardware. Probably abuse.ch will stop this ruleset.How much more "high end" do you need to get with an edge firewall than an x86 box with 8-16GB of RAM? Again, it doesn't even get to 100% RAM usage before crashing out.
You can only check If you double the size and see if it happens again.Unfortunately I don't have UDIMMs around that I can do that with... quite expensive for a home user
Just to let you guys know, we are back to stalking and harassment now from the user called "htilonom" who was allegedly causing the deletion of our Wikipedia page and involved in creating opnsense.com in the first place [1]Oh brother... what a bunch of mooks. This kind of behavior just further cements my unwillingness to recommend pfsense in any sort of professional capacity.
This topic now especially caught the spotlight:
https://www.reddit.com/r/OPNscammed/comments/93pmyk/opnsense_called_out_for_changing_roadmap_a_day/
I am sure this is just coincidental and there is no reason why anyone would focus on this. Especially not Netgate, its owner Jim Thompson, pfSense mastermind, right?

Consider this a setup and tainted discussion from the start. At this point these attempts are petty at best as if they haven't learned from the opnsense.com debacle and I guess the downwards trend will continue.

Can you watch the memory Bar in the Dashboard shortly after enabling Suricata?Yes. I refresh it several times over the course of a couple of minutes and watch the memory usage grow to about 2.8-3GB before it crashes. Once it crashes, memory usage goes back to a more normal number like 750MB-1GB depending on usage.
So you get an error in the logs? If not perhaps the ruleset is too big for you system?The only thing that shows up in the logs is Suricata crashing.
How much RAM do you have?
