        @stephenw10 Probably too many. I went a bit overboard selecting lists.

        As an aside, my whole set up EVERYTHING network from the ONT, switch, VOIP ATA, server to wifi uses around ~36 watts

          @stephenw10 Is this something that may change in the future as a default setting, since it seems not using python mode just causes problems? Or that would be on the pfblocker dev's to make that change?

            Mine locked-up early in the upgrade process but a quick push of the power button on my Vault caused it to powered down after a short delay and when it came back up it was still working fine on 2.7.2.

              It ultimately had problems and had to be reflashed!

                Unclear. Python mode also introduces complexity many users don't need. But, yes, that would be a choice the pfBlockerNG dev makes IMO.

                  Changing over to python mode has significantly reduced cpu usage on my system from around 25% to less than 10%.

                    Just checking the power log for the server and showing a saving of about 75-100 watts per day since changing over to python mode. Or about £8 a year in electricity.

                      You mean Watt-hours per day? That's significant. Nice

                        @stephenw10 Yes, I meant Wh it went from ~900 watt hours to ~825 watt hours per day.
