      Hello!

      Do you have DNSBL SafeSearch enabled? Alexa/TOP1M?

        pfbdnsblsuppression

        maybe search inside the config.xml
        there is this section:

          @serbus No, as I mentioned earlier, definitely not. Also I went through all tabs and configs, nothing enabled for "whitelisting" or "suppression"

                Hello!

                In the config under InstalledPackages, what does this look like?

                         <pfblockerngsafesearch>
                                    <safesearch_enable>Enable</safesearch_enable>
                                    <safesearch_youtube>Strict</safesearch_youtube>
                                    <safesearch_firefoxdoh>Enable</safesearch_firefoxdoh>

                    Hello!

                    I believe the safesearch is also used a whitelist.

                      @serbus Wow, you solved the mystery... Thank you very much.

                      Although I don't think enabling all *.google and yandex and bing etc is the right approach here. I think SafeSearch should be enabled without whitelisting *.google/yandex/bing etc @BBcan177

                        was this ever resolved? sorry for the necro, but I have same EXACT problem, youtube being whitelisted, no whitelist configured and no safe search enabled...

                          @iTestAndroid said in pfBlocker hidden whitelists:

                          "/var/db/pfblockerng/pfbdnsblsuppression.txt"

                          is created with what you've entered here :
                          Firewall > pfBlockerNG > DNSBL
                          at the bottom, you have a "DNSBL Whitelist", deploy it and the info shown there creates "/var/db/pfblockerng/pfbdnsblsuppression.txt".

                          When I empty :

                          e3bd17b2-6a1f-446a-bcbc-dab9f69f50c1-image.png

                          the file will be nearly empty (just one line).

                          Where does "yandex" etc comes from ?
                          Well ... ask 😊
                          SSH into your box (or console), option 8.
                          Goto /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng:

                          grep -R 'yandex' *
                          

                          or

                          grep -R 'adservices' *
                          

                          These files come with pfblockerng when you install it.
                          You'll find pfb_py_hsts.txt.

                          What I know : this file contains sites that are known to use "hsts" (wikipedia hsts please).

                          Anyway .....
                          I've emptied my 'master' DNSBL whitelist and now :

                          0a78e557-30ef-4e9d-aeab-6dcfbc346030-image.png

                          as you can see, "Whitelist" only contains "localhost.localdomain"

                          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                          Edit : and where are the logs ??
