      I installed an addon pfBlockerNG. It works fine. However, I have a few addresses I need to exclude from being blocked so I created a whitelist (alias) and placed the rule ahead of pfBlocker rules. This works fine until pfBlocker cron-updates itself every hour and moves its rules over the top of my manual whitelist. How can I make my rule stay where I want it?

        Change the rule order in pfBlockerNG.

          @peterlecki Another option is to set the block lists in pfB to Alias Native, which creates the alias but no rules. Then you can create your own rules wherever you want, use them in NAT, etc.

          Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

              Thanks for that suggestion, I might actually consider that for some more customization.

                Is there a mode or something titled "Alias Native" or do I just disable pfB on the General tab and use the aliases it created earlier?

                  Never mind on "disable" - that removes the aliases. How do I put it in "Alias Native" mode?
