      Hello, currently running pfBlocker v3.2.0_1, but since I've installed it never ends the CRON job nor can I stop it to do a manual Force Reload. I did turn off the CRON setting also, just need to know the terminal command to stop this. Thanks

        @katinatez It's a known issue...uncheck the TLD wildcard option in DNSBL. If you can find the process name or number you can "kill" it, or just reboot.

        It's fixed in v3.2.0_3 .

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: 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 restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @steveits I don't have that package available in package manager, I installed pfsense v2.7 dev. How would I upgrade?

            @katinatez Ah, 2.7 dev is the cutting edge. You probably can't until it's released for that version. @BBcan177 may have an ETA, but for now you'll have to disable the TLD setting.
