      Same problem here. I do want to add that the error happens for those block lists defined in the Lists folder. For example, I set up a block list using Bluetack Level 1. Immediately afterwards, the error message popped up and internet access was cut off. pfBlocker works correctly with built-in lists that comes with pfBlocker.

            Thank you to the people that has replied. At least I know I am not alone with this issue.

            Does anybody know how we can open a bug report for this?

            Thx.

                    Does the machine need a reboot after applying the patch? I applied it but can't reboot right now and am still getting the error.

                      Can you show the contents of that file?
                      Or does even that file exists at all?

                          This worked for me too. Thanks!

                          (Guessing this will be fixed in an upcoming build?)

                            Today's build (Thu Aug 15 16:30:12 EDT 2013 ) seems to fix this.

                            My bug is still open so this is not "official" yet. I'll confirm when it gets acknowledged and marked as fixed/closed.

                            Thx.

                              This issue was indeed fixed in yesterday's build.

                              Thanks so much to the pfSense team.

                                I am confused.

                                If this was already fixed, why does it still happen in this build:
                                2.1-RELEASE (i386)
                                built on Wed Sep 11 18:16:50 EDT 2013 ?

                                  Also, if I try to Patch using "System: Patches"
                                  I get the following errors:
                                  "Patch can NOT be applied cleanly (detail)

                                        It will depend on the size of your lists

                                        you can use default 100000 or 300000 or 400000…..

                                          It will depend on the size of your lists

                                          you can use default 100000 or 300000 or 400000…..

                                          Okay - Let me rephrase my question:

                                          Where is this value?

                                            It's on the first post of this thread System -> Advanced -> Firewall Maximum Table Entries

                                            @pppfsense:

                                            I already tried some very high values for the Firewall Maximum Table Entries  with no success (System - Advanced - Firewall Maximum Table Entries = 999999999)
