Why does this happen after installing Zenarmor, and should I be concerned?

I updated my OPNSense firewall and installed Zenarmor. Before I installed it, I did a health audit and there were no errors. After installation of Zenarmor, I did another health audit and find the following error:

Hi,

Zenarmor changes some parameters in sysctl.conf So you get this mismatch warning. You can dismiss it. For the next release, it will be fixed.

Thanks!

You can compare the current file with a backup or default version to identify changes. Reverting or adjusting settings might resolve the health audit error.
