      I am looking at blocking a domain. How can I do so with pfBlockerNG? I am in the Feeds tab, but I don't see any custom entries field. I am running pfBlockerNG-devel 3.2.0_4 on pfsense 2.6.0.

        Add a group in DNSBL > DNSBL_Groups.

        In the new group expand DNSBL Custom_List and add your domain(s) there.

          @stephenw10 Thanks for the quick response. Here's what happens when I do that:

            @droidus I want to say I saw that…try setting the State to Off.

            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 reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

              Hmm, interesting. Been a while since I added that.

              You can always add custom values to an existing group.

                  I'm where I can test it now, yes it has to be Off.

                    And the list still gets loaded as expected?

                      yes:

                      Non-authoritative answer:
                      Name:    assets.remerge.io
                      Address:  10.10.10.1
                      

                      I interpreted the State option there to only be for the "Source Definitions" section. Flipped back to you...does your log show an error it's trying to update the empty source? (presumably there is a reason the validation was added, but perhaps it just skips over blanks, so maybe this question is irrelevant)

                      @Bob-Dig Haven't tried that list entry...guessing one per line? :)

                        I think it is not, I couldn't make it work with more than one address, if I remember correct.

                        It is working, maybe it had problems with domain names?

                        Also working. 👍

                          No errors here when updating or reloading.
