Hi!

Tell us a bit about your HW config, and as much as possible of your network topology.
Thank you!

Hi!

I have a Home Personal Firewall on an Alix APU1.C4 Board with 4GB RAM, 32GB SSD and Dual Core CPU .

Versions    OPNsense 18.1.2_2-amd64
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6
OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017
CPU Type AMD G-T40E Processor (2 cores)

On the LAN Interface (re0 Tagged Interface) are 4 Vlans configured. The WAN is directly connected to a FritzBox (Provider Router). On the other Interface (re2 Tagged Interface) are 2 DMZ Vlans configured.

Suricata is running on the wan interface. When I enabled IPS the the folowing errors are on the console.

What informations do you need about the config??

Hi there,

These are simply diagnostics messages from the kernel part of the IPS mode.


Cheers,

Okay thank you, i ignore this messages!

Almost looks like netmap running in emulation mode. Must have something to do with the type of NIC. I have never seen these messages on the console with igb or em drivers.

[Ciprian]

em (e1000 on ESXi), I have them, always considered them as alerts, or even errors, but not critical ones, since they didn't cause my appliance to malfunction.

Before I had the messages for the first time, I switched on Promiscous mode (LAN, WAN). OPNSense crashed, then came the messages. I could save the OPNSense only by a config rollback.
