Does pfsense 2.5.2 add its own DNSBL whitelist ?
-
I just noticed that on the Firewall-->pfBlockerNG-->DNSBL there is a whitelist that I had nothing to do with
---> /pfblockerng/pfblockerng_dnsbl.php Im using pfsense 2.5.2It shows the following in the DNSBL Whitelist section
Does anyone know why the whitelist has been created ? I don't recall adding it

Yes, pfBlockerNG adds that by default to prevent things being incorrectly blocked by blacklist updates.
That's a very old version of the package in a very old version of pfSense though. You should upgrade.

I would use later versions except that the later versions dont provide ASN block. There is probably a method of doing that but this version finds the ASN numbers by simply entering the company name. Thanks for bothering to reply. -
@parry yes it does
-
@SteveITS The ASN selection appears in the pfBlockerNG package. If I update it to 2.6, the ASN option disappears in the PfBlockerNG installation. That's why I have not updated. Did I misunderstand you suggestion ? Thanks again Steve. Parry

@parry Well I don't know about 2.6 but it's in the package for 23.09 so I assume it would be in 2.7.x:
You might be looking at pfBlockerNG vs pfBlockerNG-devel? -devel was moved/copied into non-devel I think when 23.01 was released, so they are identical now.
