      any one can help me?

      Looks like this :

      703c3537-0198-44b4-a151-da4ca11a6bac-image.png

      isn't checked, right ?

      The message "Clearing all DNSBL Feeds" is showed under one condition :

      // When DNSBL is enabled and no Aliases are defined, or all Aliases are Disabled
      

      as in that case there is nothing to do.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        no, it is enable, I make a fresh install of pfsense pfSense-CE-2.5.2-RELEASE-amd64, than install the pfBlockerNG-devel version 3.1.0.

            Any word on safe search allowing duckduckgo? It appears it doesn't work.

              Hi
              I have some challanges with pfBlockerNG on version 22.05.
              I have 2 pfSense were i have a custom IPv4 source defination.
              On one of my pfSense it does not update the entire list on my other it does.
              They are sync the settings to eachother so it has the same configuration.
              Any idea why this might go bad?
              It seems that pfSense 1 is just stuck on some cache or some "obsolete" list

                Do a Force reload, and look at what the log, at the bottom of the page, produces.

                Note : where I live, its December 7.
                So, it might be possible that files on your two pfSense are not 100 % identical.
                This behaviour is normal. List don't get reloaded every hours or so as this (xx thousands of pfBlockerng-devel are running out there) would destroy the web servers that hosts these files.

                Btw : I've demanded to update my one and only DNSBL list Weekly, as these lists do not get updated massively every hour or day and I don't bother missing one or two.

                    You didn't show what I've showed you.
                    The part with the dates and hour.

                    I've tricked my pfblockerng-devel by forcing it to download the lists again.
                    I've deleted all the files in /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsblorig/
                    Then I did a force reload.
                    It showed :

                    ====================[ DNSBL Last Updated List Summary ]==============

                        Yep.
                        Rookie mode : Delete them all - and sync pfblocker
                        Better be safe then sorry : copy them on a safe place and then delete them all, and sync pfblocker

                        Btw : Dec 7 13:03 3CX_ServerPublic_custom_v4 (your own list ?) seems recent enough.

                        Other lists : if they didn't changed, they won't get downloaded (I guess ?!)

                          I removed the list. And added it again. This works.
                          But if i go and add an IP to the list an run the job it doesn't get updated :/

                          There should be 1278 and 1276 in /var/db/aliastables/pfB_Allow_Hosting_Customers_v4.txt

                          I can also see that it seems like it doesn't get updated from when i create it to i update it.
                          But my 3CX_ServerPublic_custom_v4 seems to be updated everytime. This is an Alias Native. and not a list.

                            You posted (now) 11 hours ago. It's 08h00 AM here.

                            The last time that your file was downloaded, was :

                            That's also some 11 hours ago.
                            That file seems pretty up to date to me.

                            If you set pfBlockerng to do house hold tasks every hour :

                            2a571df8-0a8b-40fa-bae5-89f25f4a8120-image.png

                            and set your list ( I showed a DNSBL list here ) to be downloaded every hour :

                            5f293093-c307-447e-a897-92c36e65e29d-image.png

                            then this file will ... should (?!) get downloaded every hour.

                            In your case, as you host this file yourself, that's ok, you' hitting your infrastructure.
                            I strongly advice you not to do this for any other feed/list that is on a host that you do not own.

                            Edit : and where are the logs ??

                              I have figured it out now.
                              I was running the reload command and not the cron command.
                              When i run the cron command it updates the list in the firewall.
                              And you are right I shouldn't spam other list. A workround for now is that i make my own custom list that contains the IP addresses from the other list and update the backend list once a day.
                              Thanks for the help
