      Had the same problem.
      removed lists and added them back in.

      Lists that caused errors:
      https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/blocklist.php?download=ipblocklist

      https://spyeyetracker.abuse.ch/bloclist.php?download=ipblocklist

      Lists that gave 500 error.

        @BBcan177:

        I think there might be an issue with the Range to Cidr function in pfsense.. and as such it crashes when its trying to convert the Iblock lists…

        I agree with BBcan177.. I've heard of a lot of complaints that pfBlocker isn't working correctly in 2.2 due to that function change. pfBlockerNG includes a new function for this and works great! I believe there is a pull request to have the function added to pfSense but hasn't been committed yet

          What if you just send the request as pfblocker v2 update?
          Should be easier to get only this version on 2.2 as pfblockerng base was the pfblocker package.

            I imagine you may have to wait for a while for anything. Right about now I should think the devs have their hands full with the issues that are inevitably discovered when suddenly many thousands of new installs across many and varied hardware types take place.  ;)

              Most of the issue I'm seeing on the forum are because of packages not working.

                I'm trying since december to get all working but 2.2 pbi is messing everything up.

                Can't wait pbi replacement by pkg ng.

                    On 2.2 use pfBlockerNG instead of pfBlocker.

                      pfBlockerNG isn't in the package list / isn't an approved package for 2.2 yet?

                        Depends on how you look at it.. I can't speak for ESF but I've been testing it for months and its working great!

                          I realize that it does work, but many people don't know (nor should they have to in my opinion) how to install packages that aren't in the package repository - that is kind of what it is for… So end users know it has been tested, works, and is authentic.

                          I'm not personally against unofficial packages though, and agree that is better than using pfBlocker (non-NG) in 2.2.
