@runevn I use only two DNS that is openDNS. What Tzvia suggested should help.

@bbcan177 Thank you for your patience. I just could not imagine it being so hard to achieve this. I have some experience with Squid, where URL blocking/whitelisting is relatively easy. But i want to migrate away from it and pfBlockerNG seemed like a good alternative.

@mods @CTMarsh @BBcan177 @bldnightowl I wish there were some way for me to change the title of this topic. At the time I wrote the original post, pfBlocker seemed to be the culprit, but as we have all learned, it was the OS upgrade on the SG-3100. I reverted to 2.4.5_p1 and am holding there until something positive happens with the new OS.

@yorke pfBlocker doesn't look at the contents of the packets, just the FQDNS and https packets will be encrypted. So it's a no.

@gertjan said in CRON stall when reloading UNBOUND: Live Sync means that pfBlockerNG3 loads unbound with flat DNSBL files. When enabled, updates to the DNS Resolver DNSBL database will be performed Live without reloading the Resolver. During Cron Updates, it will update Unbound with only changes using unbound-control, so no interruption and no memory shortage. However Unbound Restart/Reload will check the *.conf files then load all *.conf into it's db, draining memory.

@ronpfs said in Problem after pfBlockerNG-devel 3.0.0_16 update: @chudak From any GeoIP tab : Click here for IMPORTANT info --> What's new in GeoIP2 Cool, so far I don't see what's wrong. Do you ? I had a chat with MaxMind support and one thing jumped at me "it looks like the "registered country" for that IP address range is Germany. I'm wondering if pfSense is looking at that instead of the "country"" That's interesting It'd be good to have a NordVPN and GeoIP user here to confirm this....

@ronpfs said in Disable action does not work ?: @chudak said in Disable action does not work ?: How does permit outbound actually works ? (Need to think about it) That may contain some answers : https://docs.netgate.com/ I am sure it does ! Is Permit Outbound default setting for white lists ?

@wolfsden3 See this thread https://forum.netgate.com/topic/162883/disable-action-does-not-work/16?_=1618355648005 Maybe helpful

Normally, I don't block TLD's as it needs 'huge' quantity of resources. But ok, let's test : I tried blocking the tld "today" : [image: 1618296304991-dfaf9bb0-5f17-4176-bdad-c7b2b0fc5fcd-image.png] A test : C:\Users\Gauche>nslookup 1618250475.site.goapp.today Serveur : pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net Address: 2001:470:1f13:5c0:2::1 Nom : 1618250475.site.goapp.today Address: 10.10.10.1 Which means : [image: 1618296360647-1f43da52-b94a-4dfc-a72e-ca841ad3ed91-image.png] Btw : i's very rare to see this "black screen", as no one is (should not) using http:// any more.

@ronpfs Disabling the package prior updating did the job.

@BBcan177 I had to do a clean install of pfSense to make python mode work. Not sure why. It was a two year old working configuration with multiple updates and never had an issue. Now with python mode can I let go of unbound dns now or still need to use it? I have an internal well configured BIND dns which I would like to use instead of unbound.

@bbcan177 Thank you for being so fast in fixing this and the great work you are doing with pfBlockerNG! With the modifications all is working well :).
