      You can not compare pfSense to Peer-block, in comparison Peer-block is truly useless. How may Windows 7 machines act as firewalls to large networks, do you wonder why? pfSense is. Did you follow through the link to the thread I sent you above? Follow the instructions, remove the duplication? Here, I'll give it to you again:  Read this thread:https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=78062.0

      @panz:

      Thank you @wcrowder for the fast response. I don't like any list in particular: I wanted to test each of them with a firewall rule for each list so - by analyzing the logs - I'll be able to keep the lists that hit the blocking rule the most of times.

      I can't still believe that a Unix OS can't handle a simple task like this: as I wrote in this thread, my stupid Windows 7 machine with the same amount of RAM can load ALL those lists in PeerBlock FAST! And it works flawlessly, blocking and notifying 24/7.

        Yes, I removed the duplicates: I logged into pfSense with WinSCP and manually deleted those jsjdjdjjdjjddkkakirtitjjf.txt files. Then I deleted the pfBlocker package and all the files in the upper pkg dir that contained the word pfBlocker.

        Strangely enough, after pfBlocker reinstallation, all the lists were still there, listed in the GUI, so maybe do I need to purge other files?

          The xx.txt files need to be there. They are the county code files for country blocking. The duplicates I was talking about are IP's in the lists. Example: On the iBlockList website the iBlock Prime list already includes the US Government, Malicious, Piracy Related, Pornography, Ads and Trackers and Proxies lists so when you add Prime AND those lists you have DUPLICATION that you don't need…

            Ok, I'm going to dedupe the lists. Where is the lists' list stored? Even after a package reinstall, the list is there.

              Could we make a pfblocker community so we easily can share files and lists?

              Maybe from within the package itself?

                I'm emailing to I-Blocklist maintainer to ask him if he could implement a deduplication feature in the customized lists section. For now, I'll be happy if the pfBlocker package could handle a memory increase by itself. I don't want to mess with file editing in an appliance.

                        It is being very actively forked, we will just have to wait for an announcement from the author doing the update… Or, you could read this thread more carefully.  ;D Did you read the thread I posted to you Panz?  :-*

                                    I really like the idea of blocking entire countries that my network has no business connecting to and put together a script to update pfBlockers country CIDR lists with the lists available from IPdeny.com

                                    Edit - The script didn't work as intended and has been taken down

                                        Hi f34rinc,

                                        This will update the ISO files for pfBlocker but it doesn't update the XML Continent Files (ie - Africa) with the changes made to the Country Names. So there could be some inconsistencies.

                                        There are files named

                                        Africa_cidr.txt that have this type of header:

                                        Continent: Africa

                                        Country: Reunion

                                        ISO Code: RE

                                        Total Networks: 245

                                        These files are used by this command to rebuild the XML files based upon the 6 Continent Files.

                                            Thank you BBcan177 I don't believe I have the skill set to accomplish this

                                            Edit - I took the country list of top spammers from http://www.projecthoneypot.org/spam_server_top_countries.php and made a script to make my own replacement for the pfBlocker top spammers list.  Please use the link from my previous post above.
