      Hello everyone,
      I just installed pfBlockerNG. I used the wizard to configure the interfaces. Everything seems to go well, but when I check the status of my services, the pfBlockerNG-devel service won’t start, even when I try to launch it manually.

        ... and the rest is "IP" stuff , not DNSBL.
        Do you have DNSBL lists ?
        I mean, if you gave none, the "pfb_dnsbl - pfBlockerNG DNSBL service" doesn't need to run.

        Better put this one on a hold for now - or call the guy who host the file and ask him to repair the situation ^^

        Masterfile Count [ 16446 ]
        Deny folder Count [ 16445 ]

        Euh ..... one is awol. Not sure what to say : disable one by one your lists and when things start to work again, you'll know which one to disable.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          This sanity check failure might be the issue as discussed here:
