I just installed OPNsense on my Proxmox with the NIC passthrough.
The NIC is an old Intel 1000 pt dual NIC card.
The OPNsense VM has 1G of RAM, and when I am trying to config the Intrusion Detection with IPS enable I got

please point me to the right direction, thanks.

No idea what really the problem might be.

I'm using KVM with i440FX UEFI with virtIO NICs and it works. Maybe give the virtIO NICs a try...
