- KP 10:13 AM pfSense Feature #16517: Endpoint-independent Port Restricted Cone Outbound NAT rules
- At least some NAT translations must have failed. This may be a configuration issue, or perhaps there's just so much traffic that you ran out of ports or perhaps there's another reason. I can't tell from the backtrace, and probably wouldn...

- KP 01:55 PM pfSense Bug #16478: syslogd crashes with SIGABRT during newsyslog rotation
- I've been unable to reproduce this.
Do you have any non-default settings for syslog? It may be useful to attach your syslog configuration files (/etc/newsyslog.conf, /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/*, /var/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/*).
If you can p...

- KP 09:44 AM pfSense Regression #16362: ``syslogd`` daemon can terminate when a remote log server refuses connections
- I can't reproduce this.
In my test I did see that syslogd noticed the error (ECONNREFUSED) and then marked the destination as UNUSED. It will then no longer attempt to deliver to that destination.
Arguably that's wrong, because this ...

- KP 12:28 PM pfSense Bug #16169 (Ready To Test): NAT64 states have ``src`` and ``dst`` swapped in data returned by pfSense PHP Module
- It turns out that for nat64 we need to swap the wire information. That's a little odd, but it's what pfctl does (both for us and for OpenBSD), so we'll just do the same in the module.
I've pushed that to both devel and plus-devel branch...

- KP 12:57 PM pfSense Bug #16167: if_pppoe sends invalid service name
- I'm unable to reproduce this.
There was an issue with pppcfg where '-pppoesvc' (i.e. to remove a service name) didn't work, but that has different symptoms and the PHP code never used that feature either.
I've gone through the ioct...

- KP 08:22 AM pfSense Todo #16128 (Resolved): Sanitize PPPoE configuration parameters
- A user reports (https://forum.netgate.com/topic/197026/25-03-b-20250306-0140-if_pppoe-kernel-module-chap-failure/10 ) that a leading space in a password used to be ignored as it was written to the mpd5 configuration file without quotes a...

- KP 09:23 AM pfSense Bug #16101: Kernel Panic in ``if_qlnxe`` kernel module when loaded via ``kldload``
- I'm rather confused by this panic.
`fault virtual address = 0x0` and `instruction pointer = 0x20:0x0` pretty much mean we're following a NULL function pointer.
The backtrace also points to get_operstate_ether(), where we call ...
