      @spyderturbo007 Since this is WAN2, do you have WAN2 selected on:
      54c3a8e2-091a-434d-8a19-b8d09b76fb09-image.png

      Are the aliases created if you look in Diagnostics/Tables?

      Alternately, I usually set up pfBlocker to use Alias Native, and then create my own rules in the order I want.

      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 The tables do not appear in Diagnostics -> Tables. I do have WAN2 selected. Thank you for the help.

          @spyderturbo007 What does your pfBlocker log say for an update?

            @steveits Is this what you need? This was from yesterday, when you said that I should run the update.

            Thank youpfBlocker Update Log.txt

              @spyderturbo007 Well the GeoIP section is empty. Do you have the MaxMind key set up?

                @SteveITS I do. I generated a key and entered it just as I did with mine.

                  @spyderturbo007 Did you (have to) put in the patch for the new key format?

                    @steveits I think the patch you mentioned is included in pfBlockerNG 3.2.0_4.

                      @steveits @pfsjap Thank you for the help.

                      I am running 3.2.0_4 with a key that was generated in the old format. I generated a new key in the new format and then ran the Reload (All) and am attaching the new log file. I also did an Update which didn't appear to do anything either.

                            @spyderturbo007 If you edit one of the continents, are any countries selected?

                            One can also create a list manually like so:
                            c2dbe7cf-bd2a-4314-91e8-2fd42ad7158d-image.png

                            I just updated our office router (on 2.6) to the _4 version and it updates fine.

                                @pfsjap @SteveITS Unfortunately that screen is different on the one I'm trying to fix.

                                Here are some screenshots showing that screen, the Maxmind account and the screen in pfsense. I even tried generating a key in my account and adding it to his netgate. That didn't work either.

                                Thank you for the continued help. I really want to get this working.

                                  @spyderturbo007 If you click the pencil to the right of the PRI1 line, to edit it, you'll see the page I showed.
