Quote from: tonys on November 10, 2026, 10:56:45 PM[...]At this point, I'm wondering why the state table grows so large[...]
QuoteWhat protocol/service? TCP sessions tend to hang around; I usually have a bunch of TCP DNS sessions in TIME_WAIT, as DNS can be a spew. My old Fortigate had granular control of session timeouts, one of its few advantages. Not a functional issue, really - I mostly cut UDP DNS timeouts to reduce clutter when browsing the state table. I don't bother with OPNsense.
QuoteI'd expect sessions to be more of a memory issue than processor, and I wouldn't expect a problem with 16GB. Those session spikes may be more of a symptom than a cause - the protocol may be revealing. (I have static IPs and servers; I average a few hundred sessions, lots of bots/scrapers/whatever can put that up to 5000 or so for hours or days. That doesn't even account for the constant stream of blocked packets.)
