      Yes, attached is a pic of my DNS server rules, remember rules at the top override those at the bottom.
      Edit: Also I have an alias for DNS Servers which is the firewall and OpenDNS' DNS servers.

      If you need more help, start a new thread so as not to hijack this one.

      Excuse me, continued here.

        Here is a little teaser for you guys…  I still need to work on how we read/edit the blacklist.  I was doing it with PHP but it uses too much RAM, so now we're doing it in sh which runs a lot quicker.  Just need a little more time, so please be patient.

        How to add manual entries?

          I used DNS blacklist about a year ago before I started using the snapshot version.  I thought it was a great package and I'd really like to see it available for use with the snapshots.

          Is there anyone currently looking into making the DNS blacklist  package available for snapshots?  Or is there some other package people are using instead of DNS blacklist now?

            I've got a nice white 404 Error-page when clicking DNS Blacklist referring to http://pfsense:82/packages/dnsblacklist/dnsblacklist.php

            Tried first Squid allong with SquidGuard but was to much of a hassle to get it working. Was blocking websites so I had to manually Whitelist them. Ended up uninstalling Squid en SquidGuard, rebooting and installing DNS Blacklist. I Reinstalled Package version 0.2.4 but no luck! How and Why?!

              Hi,

              I also encountered almost the same problem. I install Squid and SquidGuard together with DNS Blacklist to two systems. One system blocks everything(yahoo, msn etc…) while the other one doesnt block anything at all. Need this package very much, just cant run it with squid packages. Any help on what to do....Thanks.

                Only cp.core is in /usr/local/www/packages/dnsblacklist. In /usr/local/www there are no php-files from DNS Blacklist.

                I'm not a XML- pro but I can read from the dnsblacklist.xml there should be configfiles at /usr/local/www/packages/config there is no /config Directory

                dnsblacklist.xml is in /usr/local/pkg
                dnsblacklist.inc is in /usr/local/png
                dnsblacklist.tmp is NOT in /tmp
                blacklist.tar.gz is NOT in /tmp

                What is in /tmp is pkg_mgr_DNS Blacklist.log

                
                Beginning package installation.
                Downloading package configuration file...
                Changing file mode to 0755 for /usr/local/pkg/dnsblacklist.xml
                Changing file mode to 0755 for /usr/local/pkg/dnsblacklist.inc
                Changing file mode to 0755 for /tmp/dnsblacklist.tmp
                Changing file mode to 0755 for /tmp/blacklists.tar.gz
                require_once('include_file')

                  Any word yet on manual entries?
                  I love the package, except the "adult" list blocks our payroll (adp.com)

                    Ronnie….

                    You can manually edit the files in the /usr/local/www/packages/dnsblacklist/blacklists folder then reupload them.

                      I just installed the 2.0 RC, and dont see it in my list of packages.

                      Is it not available?

                        Currently DNS Blacklist is not available for 2.0.  I spoke to xa0z, (one of the package developers) a few days ago and he said he wasn't sure if there would be an update for 2.0 but he was considering it.

                        I like the package and would like to see it continue but in the mean time I have started using SquidGuard as an alternative.  So far it has been working pretty well, it takes a bit more time to configure but it's much more versatile.

                            Just installed squidguard and enabled the blacklists.  How up to date are they?  Are they updated on a regular basis?

                              It depends which blacklist you are using, most of them are updated quite frequently.

                              SquidGuard has a list of several on their site.  URLBlacklist.com has a list the updates very often.

                                You are a life saver.  I was using the default.  Thanks for the link to those.

                                  One more thing.  Can this thing auto update its lists or would I have to setup a cron job to download, extract, and restart the service?

                                    Currently there is no auto update feature so you would need a script to take care of it.  Check out the link below for a sample script, you could probably write a much simpler one to do the job though.

                                        Hi,
                                        I am new to PfSense, I tried using DNS Blacklist and tried to block, Adult Porn and Online Gaming but I beleive it blocks all sites, if I try accessing any site it redirects to Google. For eg I tried indiatimes.com; yahoo.co; rediff.com and our Company website but it all gets redirected to Google, not sure if I am going wrong somewhere or do I need to work on the scripts.

                                        I have the same issue.

                                        I also have the same issue and even if I uninstall the dns blacklist the DNS redirector is jacked up now and no dns redirection works.

                                        me too…..  :(

                                        please help….
