I'm trying to start making use of the Proxmox Firewall at Node/VM/NIC level. I've enabled the firewall at datacenter and node level initially, but the rules I've put in place don't seem to take effect, and I'm also getting these lines repeatedly in my PVE logs:

Jun 03 12:32:57 pve pve-firewall[3481]: status update error: ipset_restore_cmdlist: ipset v7.10: Error in line 32: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added Jun 03 12:33:07 pve pve-firewall[3481]: status update error: ipset_restore_cmdlist: ipset v7.10: Error in line 14: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added Jun 03 12:33:18 pve pve-firewall[3481]: status update error: ipset_restore_cmdlist: ipset v7.10: Error in line 14: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added Jun 03 12:33:27 pve pve-firewall[3481]: status update error: ipset_restore_cmdlist: ipset v7.10: Error in line 14: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added Jun 03 12:33:37 pve pve-firewall[3481]: status update error: ipset_restore_cmdlist: ipset v7.10: Error in line 32: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added Jun 03 12:33:47 pve pve-firewall[3481]: status update error: ipset_restore_cmdlist: ipset v7.10: Error in line 4: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added Jun 03 12:33:57 pve pve-firewall[3481]: status update error: ipset_restore_cmdlist: ipset v7.10: Error in line 32: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added Jun 03 12:34:07 pve pve-firewall[3481]: status update error: ipset_restore_cmdlist: ipset v7.10: Error in line 22: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added Jun 03 12:34:17 pve pve-firewall[3481]: status update error: ipset_restore_cmdlist: ipset v7.10: Error in line 27: Element cannot be added to the set: it's already added

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!
 
can you send content of

cat /var/lib/pve-firewall/ipsetcmdlist2
cat /var/lib/pve-firewall/ipsetcmdlist1

Thanks for the reply, see below the output from ipsetcmdlist1, ipsetcmdlist2 returned nothing.

Hi,
if ips like:

"10.0.20.1/24"

are single ip, you shouldn't add /24.

you could use /32 ("10.0.20.1/32") or no netmask. ("10.0.20.1")

if you need to defined a full subnet , you should use netmask, like "10.0.20.0/24"
