      I signed up for a Bambenek malicious ip feed for pfBlocker. However, on the pfBlocker widget, it doesn't list any of the IP counts. I have no idea if it's doing anything. Am I missing a config setting?

      Happy Thanksgiving.

        @FrankZappa you did set the 'State' from OFF to something else I assume?

            Hmmmm, for some reason, it doesn't appear the Bambenek feed is referencing a file in pfBlocker. DNSBL_Bambenek is white text and when you hover over the name, nothing pops up. The ones in green reference a file.

              @FrankZappa Force Update | Reload All.

              If that doesn't do it, I'd follow the procedure noted under Firewall / pfBlockerNG / General / Keep Settings to clear and re-download all lists.

                It could also be that entries in that Bambenek list are already present in the other lists you use.

                  If it's actually a DNS list and not IPs/subnets then it doesn't create an alias like that.

                  If it is IPs you should add it via the IPv4 feeds not DNSBL
