@Antibiotic I don't know. After editing lines 391 and 1517, it has been working as normal for me since I first tried the Beta release, as well as for the 2 Release candidates to date.

@provels Simple. Use Brave. ABP still works too but its cat and mouse. If they time you out, go watch two ads and then reblock

@AlinaQ
Did you try another internet browser?

Just updating this. Turned out to be a bad SmartTV blocklist causing the error.

@SteveITS said in pfBlockerNG v.3.2.0_8 upgrade (from _7) on 23.09.1 (stable pfSense+) caused blank "MaxMind Account ID" and problems:

3.2.0_8 is the current version for pfSense Plus. (and has the account key)

Ah my false he is on 23.09.01, I was over reading.

I got on 24.03 with version _09 the errors, and were adding the 6 digit
account ID and all was right.

@rtorres Thanks for this! So just edit that one file? This is what my entire lime 391 looks like:

$options_suppression_cidr = [ 'Disabled' => 'Disabled' ] + array_combine(range(1, 17, -1), range(1, 17, -1));

I tried changing both -1's to 1 and it did not make any difference - even after restating pfBlockerNG. And ideas? Thanks man!

UPDATE - I had to change both -1s to 1s in two different places in that same file. THANKS!

@Gertjan Right. Although interval of update shouldn't matter, it just seems 'odd' that a description field appears to be updated in config.xml with every run and yet the "feeds" themselves are outside of the config.xml - thus there shouldn't be another config backup. At least I'm not the only person who's experiencing this.

Cheers'

@BBcan177 As per https://forum.netgate.com/topic/179060/pfblockerng-sync-not-working/54 (and https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14189) the account ID doesn't sync to the HA backup without adding the one line fix "pfblockerng_sync_on_changes();" to pfblockerng.php (and waiting for cron to run).

@thearties3000 said in pfBlockerNG Created Rules:

Using version 3.2.0.7, I earlier used the 'floating' rules options and created a rule to permit outbound to certain AS #.

Can I see this rule with a screenshot? Doesn't make much sense to me to begin with.

@antonioremigio1 Curious. Are you referring to starlink being geo-ip blocked? then would bypassing by AS# works?

@MikeHalsey said in pfBlockerNG not blocking adverts in Windows 11 apps:

@SteveITS Found it, turned it on, restarted the Netgate... didn't work 😒

What are your blocklists?

I have a few that have been blocking a lot of Windows tracking/adverts, so far it's been working great at blocking.

@BobAce what updates?

was able to figure things out for the most part, however that issue with clicking the "Save DNSBL Settings" still exists..

so, i'm at a point where if i want to make any changes under the DNSBL tab, i have to first reboot the entire firewall.

performing a full reload of ip and dnsblock lists does nothing.

I click the button and nothing updates. if i reboot first, i can make changes (as long as i do it immediately after the reboot) and the "Save DNSBL Settings" button will be effective.
