Hi,
as you can see here:
Shalla Secure Services
the service is dead.

[aspiringnetworkadmin]

@fireodo Thank you for the reply Sir.

Same with UT1 Sir? I tried to disable Shallalist and enable only UT1 but after I update I still get Failed status. Does it mean that also UT1 service is already dead?

I am not aware that UT1 is not available.(you can verify in your browser: http://dsi.ut-capitole.fr/blacklists/download/ ) Check maybe something in your firewall block the access to UT1.

Does ist working in your Browser? If yes it also should work in pfblockerNG ...

[aspiringnetworkadmin]

This is OK. That means the UT1 is accesible from your network. Now you should not getting any error on downloading the UT1 in pfblockerNG. You can check that by doing a force Update in pfblockerNG.

@fireodo Thank you so much Sir

I have the same issue, and it think i know what the problem is. It seems like pfBlockerNG is trying to download UT1 blacklist from this link:

ftp://ftp.ut-capitole.fr/pub/reseau/cache/squidguard_contrib/blacklists.tar.gz

And it fails because that link is no longer valid even though its listed here.

This is the link that pfBlockerNG should use:

https://dsi.ut-capitole.fr/blacklists/download/blacklists.tar.gz

I think pfBlockerNG needs to be updated to use the new link. @BBcan177 please correct me if im wrong.

[aspiringnetworkadmin]

@nimrod thank for this information Sir

@nimrod Where do I go to update the link in pfBlockerNG?

Not in the GUI. You have to edit the file:
/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/ut1_global_usage

@BBcan177 Correct me if I'm wrong ...

I think there is no need to update anything, because, since yesterday, UT1 list update is working again. Whatever the problem was, its gone now. This could be some temporary issue on UT1 servers.

I forced list update 20 minutes ago, and its working just fine.

Then everything is fine and that manual edit of pfblocker file "/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/ut1_global_usage" isnt necessary anymore.

@fireodo if I update but it does not block the contents.

[fireodo]

@miguel-1 Force Reload All in pfblocker to be shure all changements get active.

@fireodo I already did the forced restart, I also restarted pfsense but it only blocks some pages and not others.

That means its working - why it not block some other pages that you have to investigate yourself - maybe they arent on the blacklists ...
