      First time using pfBlockerNG (only for GEO IP) and the it seems like I should be seeing rules and/or aliases somewhere, but I'm not seeing either. I've run the force update job. According to another site, I should be seeing fw rules with aliases. pfSense v2.6.0-RELEASE (+patches) and pfBlockerNG v3.2.0_4.

        @kx93 Per the second screen cap you have no IPv4 feeds.

        For the Geo it is subtle but you have to select the countries:

        I would consider allowing North America instead of "blocking the world"...it would be fewer IPs in memory to check against. Then a "block all" would catch the rest.

        If you ever want more flexibility with rules I usually pick type Alias Native which only creates the aliases, which I then use in my own rules.

        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.
