            Seems to take quite some time to implement into pfsense package repository… not good!

              It's already there, but it's being tested by ESF before it's released for the public. doktornotor's post above shows the reason why it's not showing up on 2.1.5 or 2.2 :)

                Maybe it could with a bit of unsupported fiddling with /etc/version :P

                    Note: If someone does this, I'd suggest revert the change immediately after the package is installed.

                      I think I will wipe the dirt from my other diploma, that from law school, and speak in defense of ( ;D ):

                      The Pfsense team has worked hard on 2.2; I'm sure that took, and still takes, almost all of their time.

                      't Makes (pf)sense to me that other work gets delayed with relatively limited resources.

                        Don't you all appreciate that multiple sets of eyes look at code before it gets released for your perimeter security appliance  :) ?

                        I appreciate that procedure, and I'm sure BB does too, as perhaps the pfSense team notices things BB overlooked (that happens: when you look too much at something, you develop a sort of 'blindness' for things. I'm sure BB looked alot at the code  ;D . I suffer from the same: in the end, after looking at Excel sheets for 10 hours, you don't see anything anymore.)

                          Pretty confident the package is working a whole LOT better compared to the old pfBlocker thing (which, ATM, is not really usable with 2.2 any more depending on which blocklists you happen to use, plus the rest of features - the country etc. blocklists - being desperately outdated and useless.)

                            I'm really looking forward to this new release! I love pfBlocker and these upgrades are exactly what are needed. I can hardly wait!

                                Your instructions are great, they're for dummies like me.

                                It's greatly appreciated! I'm going to try and hit the datacenter this weekend. I'm doing a fresh install and moving from 2.1.5 (32bit) to 2.2 (64bit). I'll try installing pfBlockerNG then.

                                Thank you!

                                    The package? Sure. The pkg-utils.inc patch? No idea, never tried.

                                            I dont believe the pbi's are built for 32bit yet

                                            They certainly are, see https://files.pfsense.org/packages/10/All/

                                            Looking at the pkg-utils.inc file, you'd rather need $force_install = true; at proper place instead.
