      @paul2019 If it does, this would be the 1st comment about it.. At least I didn't see anything else about VOIP and pfblocker here in the forum.

      Since pfblockerng works blocking IPs, geoIP and DNSBL, you can check the reports tab to check if its blocking.

      Or, you could disable pfblockerng and its features to test.

        When I tried to disable it I got a few warnings regarding my rules "Unresolvable source alias 'pfB_COUNTRIES_PERMIT_v4' for rule 'NAT " and everything stopped working, should I stop the service or uncheck the "Enable" checkbox (that's what threw the warnings)?

            That shouldn't happen.
            Check the reports tab to confirm before taking actions, you will be able to see something related to VOIP if that is the case.

            You can run an update

            14130c5b-37c2-4b6c-86ab-f23ddd220f09-image.png

            Once its complete, check the logs during the process to confirm if that list 'pfB_COUNTRIES_PERMIT_v4' for rule 'NAT was downloaded.

            I don't think there is a difference, I would tick the enable option to disable the service, both pfblockerng and dnsbl.

              @mcury Did the update but still disabling pfblockerng makes the phone not work at all, I get a bunch of "Unresolvable source alias...." for all rules I have in place that forward the necessary ports.

                @paul2019 Edit that rule, check if the alias is correctly set, then save the rule again.

                  @mcury The service "pfb_dnsbl" is not starting, is that normal? I never checked this before.

                      There we go, must have happened after the update, how I can troubleshoot it?

                        Checking here the DNSBL tab, the Enabled DNSBL is unchecked, I don't remember turn it on before, not sure if that's related.

                          @paul2019 Tick enable, but I doubt that is related to the voip issue.

                            It is normal if DNSBL is not enabled. Many of our installs we use pfB for block lists and not DNSBL so it's off.

                            Unresolvable source alias

                            If the alias doesn't exist pfSense will throw that error, if a firewall or NAT rule uses the alias. It can happen for instance when uninstalling pfBlocker in order to install an update to pfSense...years ago I locked myself out that way, installing an update to our office at night through a pfB NAT rule, but fortunately had other ways to get connected. I have also seen it on rare occasions after a reboot. Just run an update in pfB to recreate the alias.

                            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.
