        Are you allowed to use 12.10.100.1 ??
        As stated : use an IPv4 that is RFC1918.

        Example :

        [23.09.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.bhf.tld]/root: ping 12.10.100.1
        PING 12.10.100.1 (12.10.100.1): 56 data bytes
        64 bytes from 12.10.100.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=236 time=123.601 ms
        64 bytes from 12.10.100.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=236 time=123.248 ms
        ^C
        --- 12.10.100.1 ping statistics ---
        3 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 33.3% packet loss
        round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 123.248/123.425/123.601/0.176 ms
        

        You have a huge security issue
        Or
        You are using an IP that you do not own [ I vote for this one ].

        The latter can/will create routing problems.

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

            @JHODZ I also checked from my logs and got this error
            [1708589241] unbound[97875:0] error: bind: address already in use
            [1708589241] unbound[97875:0] fatal error: could not open ports

              @JHODZ said in pfBlockerNG blocks my entire network:

              [1708589241] unbound[97875:0] error: bind: address already in use
              [1708589241] unbound[97875:0] fatal error: could not open ports

              That means that unbound was told to stop, but didn't (in time). then it get restarted, but it can't, as the previous instance is still shutting down, or even dead.
              Solution : console or SSH, option 8, and :

              ps ax | grep 'unbound'
              

              and kill all the lines like these :

              17516  -  Ss     16:07.53 /usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf
              

              so

              kill 17516
              

              and when done, start unbound in GUI.

              ask I changed my web interface port

              Like :

              why not.

                You didn't change it, but it lists 12.10.100.1 as its vip? That sure looks like it was changed to me.. Where it would it come up with such an address?

                    @JHODZ yeah my bad, couldn't read this morning I guess.. but 12.something would be a really bad choice.. And points out it should be rfc1918..

                      Hi all, I got it to work by changing some of the ports, but I can't run DNSBL in python mode allthough unbound mode works fine. Please is there anything else am missing.

                          Because ?
                          You don't want to ?
                          Some other reason ?

                          edit :
                          "Python mode" is what the unbound authors advice to use when you want, for example, add dnsbkl type files. This 'mode' speeds up drastically the start and restart of unbound.

                            @Gertjan I meant I am unable to run dnsbl in Python mode. Webpages takes long time to load

                              How much DNSBL feeds do you have :

                              820408bc-f8f1-4dc7-9aa2-1d50b23a47f3-image.png

                              What does this log show you when you reload pfBlockerng like this :

                              dee28981-7849-47e1-926e-58f7d2187797-image.png

                              Do the test both in unbound and Python mode.
