        I also alsp having the same issue as in post https://forum.netgate.com/topic/165131/service-watchdog-detected-service-dnsbl-stopped-restarting-dnsbl-pfblockerng-dnsbl-web-server after upgrading to pfBlockerNG version 3.2.0_3 just a few days ago. Email notification every minute, had to tell Service Watchdog to stop monitoring dnsbl.

        Went to the configuration page for dnsbl. Noticed that the box
        "Wildcard Blocking (TLD)" was unchecked. If I check the box and saved, but it will not save, instead I get this message at the top:

        The following input errors were detected:
        • Customlist suppression: Invalid Domain name entry: [ *.googleapis.com ]
        • Customlist suppression: Invalid Domain name entry: [ *.googleusercontent.com ]
        • Customlist suppression: Invalid Domain name entry: [ *.xn--9trs65b.com ]
        • Customlist suppression: Invalid Domain name entry: [ *.1e100.net ]
        • Customlist suppression: Invalid Domain name entry: [ *.facebook.com ]
        Seems dnsbl is telling me that the wildcard TLDs that seemingly blocked OK last week are now malformed? If I remembered where the file is located, I would ssh into the box and manually delete those TLDs and try again. I will hunt for it later, else does some one remember the file path?

        Thanks all.
