      well I tried editing the ua string, and still not loading that as109 I setup as test.

      let me try this for you - standby

        c) or change the line as referenced.

        I did change the line.. does it need a specific format or something?

        ua="pfSense/pfBlockerNG cURL download agent-"

        to

        ua="different-"

        And that doesn't seem to be working.. My current aliases that have table entries, they might be a bit out of date it seems.. I can for sure just wait til the new version comes out, etc. and already have my ipinfo token ;)

        But now just curious to get it working if all you would have to do is change the ua..

            pfSense/pfBlockerNG

            this is what they are currently blocking on.. change that

            the curl that actually pulls it looks like this: (I log it in the pfblockerng.log (cause I like logging)

            /usr/local/bin/curl -A "pfSense/pfBNG cURL download agent-60835222024" -sS1 https://api.bgpview.io/asn/109/prefixes

            it send the output to a tmp file as part of what gets called.
            Works fine here

            {"status":"ok","status_message":"Query was successful","data":{"ipv4_prefixes":[{"prefix":"12.5.186.0\/23","ip":"12.5.186.0","cidr":23,"roa_status":"None","name":"CISCO-SY729-186","description":"CISCO SYSTEMS","country_code":"US","parent":{"prefix":"12.

              @johnpoz delete the ASN file. So if the asn is a block it's in the "deny" folder. You can do that in the Log tab to delete the file. Once that file is deleted run a Force update to get the new update

                I did, I changed the whole ua variable to be "different-"

                @BBcan177 should a force reload do that.. not using any asn in any pfblocker rules - just an native alias and doesn't seem to want to pull any info for the AS109 test alias I created.

                But I do see a AS109 file, let me try deleting that file. And then running a forced update.

                edit: ok I deleted the AS109_v4.tx file in /var/db/pfblockerng/native

                But still show this error
                [ AS109_v4 ] Reload . completed ..
                Empty file, Adding '127.1.7.7' to avoid download failure.

                  @johnpoz no a Force Reload uses the existing downloaded files and makes any changes that you might have made with the settings. New downloads only occur if the downloaded file is missing (which is why I said to delete it) or at the Cron Frequency setting that you set.

                    @BBcan177 yeah I deleted it, says empty file in the output, but no info added other than the place holder.

                      you could also just take the exact call I provided and ssh in the device, paste it and watch the terminal window fill with json return, (or perhaps you might see some other error ?)

                        And where in pfblocker would I put this token? I am not seeing it in any of the pfblocker settings, I have my maxmind token setup.

                        The link was to see info from @BBcan177 discussing the issue with BGPview.io, and the potential solutions being explored.

                        Using IPinfo, which requires registration and a token like Maxmind does, is one of the solutions he is exploring. He is working on an experimental implementation of IPinfo, which would potentially be used in a future version of pfBlocker. As the work is experimental and unreleased, you won't find a place to enter the token yet. 😊

                        [Edit: This is what I get for reading/responding to posts in order. Sorry @BBcan177, I hadn't noticed that you had stepped in and posted.]

                              you might also need to delete the .orig and .fail files in the "original" directory if they exists there, not just the .txt in native
