      @chain:

      Is there a way to add this to pfBlockerNG or Aliases, this list of domains

      Hi Chain, that list can be parsed without issues… If that was from a URL, just add the URL to a DNSBL alias ... You could also paste that into a custom list and the package will parse it...

      i did that, but I notices that it don't show up in the list of site to block, that the link below for the site

      http://pastebin.com/050GLwG8

      Its a good site for block windows 7-10 spying on people

        Click the "Raw" button, and you should be able to pull that list with DNSBL, as it removes the HTML formatting…

          I've attached some pictures to hopefully shed some light on the issue. As I've said, I have configured pfblockerng and DNSBL succesfully many times in the past without issue.

          Can you run this command and send me the output:

          grep -B10 -A12 "pfB_DNSBL_Allow_access_to_VIP" /conf/config.xml

                      Just have to add the domains that you want to block into a DNSBL Alias…

                            Using pfBlockerNG v2.0.16 I have DNSBL EasyPrivacy turned on from before. It was working fine. After updating to v2.0.16 twitter.com is getting blocked. Was not getting blocked before. I tried to add twitter.com to DNSBL->Custom Domain Suppression (Whitelist) but that doesnt unblock it. If I set the EasyPrivacy feed to Off, twitter.com loads successfully.

                              You can suppress directly from the Alerts Tab, which will remove the Domain immediately… if you add the domain manually to the Whitelist, you need to select the "update custom list" checkbox, and run a "Force Reload - DNSBL" for it to take effect...

                                  Ahh crap… I have to make another change to the code as it shouldn't have picked up that Domain name :)  Sorry guys... I will post a PR to get this fixed ASAP...

                                    I suspect that EasyList will also change file formats at some point, but I will make those changes at that time.

                                    Until the PR is merged, either disable EasyPrivacy, or fetch the file from my Github repo:

                                        Hi–

                                        Firstly, thanks again for an awesome package!

                                        I'd like to revisit an issue brought up numerous pages ago, that issue being that with pfBlockerNG and DNSBL enabled, along with the DNSBL Easy List to block ads, some web clients will throw an error like so:

                                        Is this a Safari/Mobile Safari issue only? How are people working around this with pfBlockerNG? This issue is causing Wife Approval Factor to drop precipitously.

                                        Thanks again,
                                        Paul

                                          Is this a Safari/Mobile Safari issue only? How are people working around this with pfBlockerNG? This issue is causing Wife Approval Factor to drop precipitously.

                                          Hi Paul,

                                          Is this device on the latest Apple Software build? Is Safari updated?

                                          Two other options.. 1) Install Chrome  2) Set the DNS setttings for this device to a different DNS server, so that it bypasses DNSBL.

                                            Hello BBcan177–

                                            Thanks for your reply--much appreciated.

                                            All our desktops/laptops/devices are up to date running the latest: Safari 9.1.1 and OS X 10.11.5 on the desktop. All iPhones and iPads are running the latest as well.

                                            Getting folks in the family to use another browser won't go very far :(  Such is the life of the family sys admin.

                                            Regarding:

                                            1. Set the DNS settings for this device to a different DNS server, so that it bypasses DNSBL.

                                            All devices are using pfSense for DNS (forwarder is enabled).

                                            If I'm understanding this issue correctly, these certs are all delivered via https. Since these connections are blocked by the EasyList, Safari throws these alerts?

                                            Is this a known issue with Safari, or is there some configuration available that I'm not aware of?

                                            thx
