      @j-koopmann Just to be super clear an update is necessary not just a reload.

      If you only want an alias then use Alias Native. Alias Permit creates rules to allow the traffic and IIRC requires ports to be specified in order to allow it.

      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 if I choose the permit or deny options above the three alias options then rules are created. The alias options should simply create suitable aliases. At least that is what they do in my other pfsense.

          @j-koopmann Sorry, brain fart, you're correct. Not enough coffee.

          I also meant to add, are they enabled?

          ...or on the GeoIP page under Action.

              @j-koopmann It is working for everyone else. If all the updates don't change the situation, I would un/re-install pfBlocker.

                @Bob-Dig thanks. It is a fresh install of pfBlockerNG. Not sure what a uninstall/reinstall will do good about it. At least I would not expect a change. I rather hoped for someone with more in depth knowledge (@BBcan177 😇) to assist me in debugging.

                Will try to find the scripts that are being called and try to work my way through them. Sometimes it is something small&stupid or someone else faced the same thing. Hence my post.

                Thanks so far for your input.

                  Hopefully he is working on the ASN-problem, that is not working for some weeks now.

                    @Bob-Dig ASN problem? Mind linking, didn't hear about this one and I think my ASN setup is working as it should.

                    @j-koopmann You may want to go ahead and reinstall it anyway, just to be sure, I believe this is working properly for everyone else and it doesn't take long to do a reinstall of the package so I'd just give that a shot to 100% rule it out.

                      Check your tables, they should be empty.

                        @planedrop I reinstalled. No changed. I deinstalled and reinstalled: No change.

                        What is your log showing for "GeoIP process"?

                        My working pfSense:

                        My not working shows nothing like this. Which is in line with what I see. The question is: Why?

                          @Bob-Dig Hmmmm I'll have to do some more digging, issue is that some of the ASNs I have in place are duplicated from some other lists so while I don't see much from those ASNs in my tables, the de-dup would be doing just that.

                          I haven't seen others complaining about this but sounds like it's maybe widespread. Was this with the latest pfB update?

                            @j-koopmann Gotcha, hmmm that is odd. Mine has been creating them just fine, I'll check several other pfSense units I have running though and see if any others are having the same problem.
