      @darrenkdean:

      ** TERMINATED - Header contains Blank/International/Special or Spaces

      In the IPv4 Tab, when you create the Alias, ensure that there are no Spaces, International or Special Characters in the Header Name field.

      Thank you for the help.  I have updated the Alias with these instructions but still receive the same error.  The Header field is blank for each of the lists.  Does something needed to be added to the Header field to make it work?

      Best-

      ** TERMINATED - Header contains Blank/International/Special or Spaces

      Enter a name for the header like: sigma-anti-infringement, sigma-webexploit, sigma-dshield

      
      'Header' : The 'Header' Field must be Unique, it will name the List File and it will be referenced in the pfBlockerNG Widget. Use a Unique Prefix per 'Alias Category' followed by a unique descriptor for each List.

        Ok just to let everyone know that I tried his lists and found that same error. There is something wrong with fetching of list.  I can download gz lists if I use browser to get it.  It looks legit inside

        Example from file
        1.0.128.0/17
        1.0.192.0/18
        1.1.128.0/17
        1.2.128.0/17
        1.9.0.0/16
        1.20.128.0/17
        1.27.1.231/32
        1.27.100.88/32
        1.34.0.0/16
        1.36.71.108/32
        1.36.79.146/32
        1.48.0.0/16
        1.50.0.0/16
        1.54.224.0/20
        1.56.44.42/32
        1.56.122.145/32
        1.56.145.114/32

        I do not get his Header problem he sees but I get

          If the lists are gz format and in CIDR format, you need to select "gz_2".

          However, these are not the best lists to use. It's best to use lists from the original provider.

            BBcan you the man.  That fixes them thanks.  GZ_2 format.  Maybe next update it can be smarter and know what to choose :p

              Hi all,

              So I got around to mimicking the setup i had in pfBlocker; I added all the lists and configured everything based on the way things used to be. However, my status widget just looks like this after a few hours:

              With the old setup, I'd be able to see all the blocked packets. In pfBlocker, I had it set as deny inbound and WAN as both inbound/outbound interface…

              Obviously the lists have loaded fine and firewall rules have been made as well but... what am I missing here?

              Thanks!

                    I seen failed download in the beginning of your log. You can fix that by putting type of url in list to gz_2

                    and I had similar issue that was fixed by reinstalling the package

                    force a reload before doing that though

                      I changed them to gz_2 and forced an update; I'll give it some time and see what happens. Thanks!

                          Just out of curiosity - there shouldn't be anything related to configuration other than the lists that could affect the behavior, could there?

                          For what its worth - this is how mine is configured:

                                Whoops - I must have accidentally toggled it. Fixed right now; will monitor.

                                  Hi McFuzz,

                                  These are IBlock lists. And they are in a range format. You need to select "gz" format. There is a chart below the URL entry section to indicate what each "Format" is for.

                                  I think the issue is with the "Ads" list. I will be doing some debugging today but try to toggle that list "off" and change all IBlock to "gz" then run a "Force Reload".

                                  If you see a "-" in the widget there are issues with pfctl and it's not going to block anything.

                                    I would also recommend removing the Bogon list and using pfSense built-in Bogon settings in the "Advanced Tab" of the GUI.

                                      Is it possible to use easy list (https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt) to block ads? I tried putting it in IPv4 Format: Text, List action Deny Inbound, but it doesn't seem to work. Also, When I do Force update it says Download FAIL.

                                        Obviously the lists have loaded fine and firewall rules have been made as well but… what am I missing here?

                                        Hi McFuzz,

                                        Seems the issue is with IBlock posting the following IP for Blocking

                                        # List distributed by iblocklist.com

                                        doclix.com:0.0.0.0-0.0.0.0

                                        I have code to remove "0.0.0.0", but as this was in a range format, it was being converted to "0.0.0.0**/32**", so the existing code was removing the "0.0.0.0" but leaving behind  "/32". This would cause pfctl to not load properly.

                                        I see that IBlock has removed that entry in their Ads List. It should never have been there in the first place.  >:(

                                        I will post a fix to resolve this potential Issue.

                                        You can manually delete the old Ads Files.

                                        rm /var/db/pfblockerng/original/Ads*.* 
                                        

                                        then Re-enable the "Ads" List and then run a "Force Reload".

                                          Is it possible to use easy list

                                          Not currently. That is a Domain Blocklist. pfBlockerNG is an IP Based Blocking solution. pfBNG v2.0 will have this functionality.
