      @token Those URLs were removed from the Feeds tab because they are offline, discontinued, etc.

      Click on the Alias/Group name and it will open the appropriate Alias/Group tab. Delete the URL, Save Settings, when done, run a Force Update, that should remove the feed from the db/pfblockerng folder. Inspect the logs, to find more problems.

            @ruicaramalho You can not delete the last URL in a Group.
            You could disable the Group or you can delete de Group from the IPv4 tab.

                On the Firewall/pfBlockerNG/IP/IPv4 page click the trash can icon on the far right, for that line.

                  Hi fellows,

                  sorry to bring up this old post but its topic is exactly what I was looking for.

                  I have set up some IP blocklists [Firewall > pfBlockerNG > IP > IPv4] and some DNSBL Groups [Firewall > pfBlockerNG > DNSBL > DNSBL Groups]

                  After reloading both the IP and DNSBL [Firewall > pfBlockerNG > Update] I always get some Feeds in the Unknown List.

                  5381fb1a-0724-4cd9-b26d-9dfd1359f6c4-image.png

                  Most of that links are updated and yet mantained, and I can even get some drops caused by them (so pfBlocker actively uses them).

                  What is the meaning of getting them in the "Unknown User defined feed" list?

                    If memory serves that can happen if the feed is no longer in pfB’s feed page. IIRC they are sorted to the bottom there as well…?

                      @SteveITS Somewhere above @token reports that "Those URLs were removed from the Feeds tab because they are offline, discontinued, etc."

                      In my case I'm sure they are not offline/discontinued and also sure that they are actually actively used by the pfBL engine (Reports show that clearly). Hence the question, why they are said to be Unknown? I thought to remove them, until I found they are actually blocking the ips or urls they list.

                        @MaxFactor-0 I suspect something isn't matching. Did the name or the URL change? Maybe the old URL is being redirected?

                        As long as the file exists on disk pfB should use it as is. It doesn't mean it's being updated. And being Unknown doesn't mean the feed isn't downloading it just means it's not recognized in the predefined list.
