      My lists actually require a subscription… but nevertheless, here they are; username and password redacted:

      I just noticed this interesting tidbit in the log:

      Is the above an issue at all?

        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:

                  Looks ok to me, maybe tomorrow about 11pm EST I can help with teamviewer if you don't have right by then

                    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.

                            @McFuzz:

                            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".

                            "Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it."

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

                                  When you look at the System Logs: Firewall Logs in the GUI. Do these alerts have pfB_ in the Rule Column?

                                      Clear the Firewall Log and start fresh. When you make Rule Changes, they can go out of Sync.

                                        how do you show Rule column under system:firewall log?

                                        Filter Descriptions and select "Display as Column"

                                        Also make sure the logs are in reverse. First Checkbox at the top of the Settings page.
