      Hi all,

      Just upgraded pfBlockerNG from 3.1.0_4 to 3.1.0_5 on my pfSense 2.6.0 box and it is no longer working.

      This was in the upgrade log:

      Executing custom_php_resync_config_command()...grep: /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl.conf: No such file or directory
      

      The full log is here:
      https://pastebin.com/embed_js/iyxwufHN

      Ideas appreciated.

      TIA

      PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
      CPU N3150, 2 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 2 Realtek Gb Ethernet ports.
      UniFi AC-Lite access point

        Try and do a “disable” pfBlocker, save, Enable pfBlocker, save, and then do a reload all under “update”

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

          Sorry, did not fix the issue. All Alerts stop at the time of the update.

            Did you go to PfblockerNG/Update and do a Force, Reload, All, Run?
            If not, you most likely need to do that in order for PfblockerNG to reload the feeds that you are using.

              Yes I did do that.

              EDIT: Just did it again and now working. Thanks.

                As a side question, is it normal to lose all your stats with an upgrade?

                eg: These on the dashboard.

                  Yes, I don't remember exactly why, but I think it has something to do with unbound restarting depending on the size of your feeds.
