hi I've upgraded the server to Redhat 8 ... I seem to be worst off now ... I'm getting the error "kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet." every few days now instead of every few months as with Rehar 7.3 Question1: What are the dangers of increasing /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max (I've currently got 1gig of RAM in my server and the current value of ip_conntrack_max is 65528). Question2: Do i really need ip_conntrack? Since I'm only using it for my transparent proxy. Question3: If i don't need it in order to user IP Tables, how do i get rid of it safely? Will rmmod ip_conntrack.o be sufficient and save?
