@Gertjan Thank you

@Antibiotic

Keep an eye on it :

@Gertjan Are you block for incoming?
What the reason, firewall block itself all in?

My LANs of course.

That's where the original DNS requests come from, and I want to 'disable' some of them like "incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org" (probably from my browser).
I don't know what beacons.gtv2.com is, the request came from my captive portal.

The regex has nothing to with the/a firewall.
A DNS request came in "what is the A of incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org ?"
The regex filter found it, so pfBlockerng told unbound to tell the LAN client : it's 0.0.0.0.
When the LAN clients receives 0.0.0.0 it can't connect to "incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org" because it has no valid IP to connect to.
This is how DNSBL works.

I don't need (want) a firewall that blocks "Internet" IPs. My LAN firewall is wide open - the portal a bit less, though.

@Gertjan are you using firefox?

Gertjan

@Antibiotic

The better part of my live, and for the moment, yeah....

Antibiotic

@Gertjan Idk, which platform you are using for firefox, linux or freebsd, but under windows firefox is disaster

Works fine for me, I only have Microsoft GUIs here.
Other OSs here have no GUI, only command line acces, and lynx if needed.

@Gertjan Oki))I tried a few times , but on my laptop firefox tabs are a huge, actually all a huge . Do not like it at all and native edge better integrate to windows security options.

Gertjan

@Antibiotic

Antibiotic

@Gertjan What kind of dimension?

Gertjan

Antibiotic

@Gertjan Is it not a PC screen right? It is TV screen

^stat(s|istics)?[0-9][_.-] #test RGX14

While I am conversant with regular expressions, I am puzzled by what appears to be duplicate tests?

Antibiotic

@LarryFahnoe I have the same question))) Is it type error?

Antibiotic

@Gertjan I did a liitle bit different)))
