      In setup wizard I get error on Step 3

      "The following input errors were detected:
      DNSBL Virtual IP: Address must be in an isolated Range that is not used in your Network."

      Currently I only have WAN and LAN and plan to create several VLANs

        The message was :

        f2506f38-1d62-4047-bf1f-a741c50e7fa2-image.png

        so I ask the same question differently : how is your LAN (or WAN) set up ?
        What IP is used on LAN and WAN.

        The thing is : pfBlockerng comes with the default 'out of the box' 10.10.10.1 as a VIP address.
        But it detected a conflict.
        Up to you to change the VIP, for example : 10.10.40.1

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

          My LAN is 10.10.10.1, it's not a problem to change the VIP address, does it have to exist or do I make it up. What do I gain and what do I lose if it exists and what if it doesn't exist.

            @neba just change the pfBlocker VIP to any nonexistent IP address/subnet. It’s used for the DNSBL block page which needs an IP for its web server.

            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.
