No blocks on IP
-
Hi all,
I am new to pfsense and pfblockerng.
I installed and configured the package with some default IP blocking and OISD add blocking.Before switching to pfsense I used OPNsense and configured the spamhaus drop rules.
In OPNsense I could see matches on the IP’s from the aliases that were blocked.
With pfsense and pfblocerng I didn’t had any blocks on IPs yet, thus iam wondering if everything is working fine. Is this normal behavior?

Ah, I changed the action to deny both and now I also have a wan firewall rule, which I also had on OPNsense.
With this wan rule I can see the blocks already coming now!
Is it a bad idea to have the action set to deny both instead of inbound only?
