      I finally upgraded from 22.05 and a -devel pkg to 23.05.01 and pfblockerng-3.2.0_8.

      Everything seems to be worked as usual and it picked up all the previous configs.

      My only question is that in my Services section it indicates two pfb services -- one running and one not. Does the pfb_dnsbl need to be started? or is it a remnant from prior to my upgrade (and if so, how to I get rid of it?) ?

        @deastick Did you enable DNSBL in pfBlocker? You don’t have to.

        23.09 and now 24.03 are available after 23.05…

        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.

          And why did you stop there ?

          Remember the golden rule : install (or upgrade) pfSense packages only if you have the latest pfSense version.
          23.05.1 is ancient by now.
          The latest pfSense version 24.03 also gives you the latest pfBlockerng, which is, 3.2.0_10. And newer version means : less bugs ... (or, at least, new bugs ^^)

          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            @Gertjan lol.... I think I stopped because of two reasons: it was already past my bedtime, and I didn't realise I was that far behind.

            I will try to catch-up on releases this week. I'll defer any further questions until I get caught up.

            Thanks all.

              All the lol is for us.
              pfSense is an '18+' thing, afaik.
              Things as 'bedtime' don't exist anymore as soon as you're an system admin. Is a 24/24h job. 😊

                @Gertjan yeah.... but I'm 57 now and my late nights of coding or sysadmin work are behind me.

                (former 4.2BSD user, 4.3BSD... SunOS 3.2... BSD/OS..... FreeBSD-3.2 and onwards) :)
