      hey forum. maybe someone can help me with pfBlocker. I have this nice overview on pfsense mainpage but it logs nothing.

      I found a related thread that never got resolved however https://forum.netgate.com/topic/175045/pfblockerng-not-logging-everything
      Is this normal behaviour? I am using the default out of the box settings here.

      When doing a nslookup of a blocked domain I seem to be getting the correct response.
      nslookup c.bing.com
      Server: 127.0.0.53
      Address: 127.0.0.53#53

      Non-authoritative answer:
      Name: c.bing.com
      Address: 10.10.10.1

      But I don't see anything logged in the main tab. Do I need to change something in this setting here:
      Global Logging/Blocking Mode
      By default it is set to "No Global Mode"

      Under alerts I see my nslookups but it only shows "unknown" and not the actual website. I also expect more than just this to show up here when browsing the web. What do i need to change to get this to resolve properly? I have searched already and couldn't find a good answer. I am using Unbound btw. and this under general setup:
