      I plan on upgrading pfsense and the recommendation is to remove all packages before upgrading. I backed up my pfsense configuration but I dont think this backed up my pfBlockerNG settings. I do not see the domains that I added to the DNSBL whitelist (did a text search for the domains via Notepad) Is there a way to create a backup of the pfBlockerNG settings, whitelist, etc? I see the 'Sync' tab but I do not have another machine with pfsense installed to sync to, I would just like to backup to a file.

        This is zero you can do, but it's up to you :)

        Where to upgrade from, say 2.3?

        or 2.4 or .... etc. this is important as there have been FreeBSD changes, if you give us a more serious description of your problem we can help...

        Here we are 😉

            pfBlockerNG -devel???? ,on the current version? 3.1.0 should be no problem if you upgrade

            if Keep settings is checked, also takes settings, lists, etc. with it when upgrading

            BTW:

            be careful, since you are switching to new FreeBSD version and the pfBlockerNG - devel has got a lot of new features in the near past...

            I have to say you waited a long time for the update, 2.6 is almost here 😉
