PFBLOCKERNG DNSBL update failing
-
Maybe you could post the pfblockerng.log from the last successfull update till now. Extras.log and error.log. (use the [ code] [ /code] (without the space!) to format the text)
And a screenshot of the Feeds, and DNSBL Easylist in case we see something.
When you go to the Update tab, does it show the running status ? -

When you go to the Update tab, does it show the running status ?I had cleared the logs so I could find the hang because there was so much in there I couldn't tell where it was. So there is no successful attempts in it any longer. I can post the pictures of the easylist sure and I can post the update tab running status but its the same that the pfblockerng.log shows..just the DNSBL Process started.

Well it possible to download the log to your computer and look at it with a text editor.
Now you don't have much to debug the failure mode.Go to Diagnostice Command prompt and execute
ps -axwwwll | grep pfb
Do you see many pfblockerng.php running?

No I manually kill the process because it just hangs there. So there is none running right now. If I run the update again there will be one process running and won't stop unless I manually stop it. I have let it go for days in the past to see if it would complete and it never did.

Go to the Firewall / pfBlockerNG / Log Browser and look at the files. You can download them in that tab.
What about a screen shots of the DNSBL feeds ?
Disable all DNSBL feeds excepts DNSBL EasyList, hit Force Reload All and post the log.

These are the only log files that had anything in them

No extras.log ? maxmind_ver ? dnsbl.log error.log ? or you empty them?

I had emptied them all before and when I do the for reload all nothing shows up in them.

Why? :o
You lost the history of what happened. Log files don't do any harm to the system and will not break anything in pfblockerNG.
Just a wild guess would be to put something in the description field but it may not change anything.

Are you able to download the Easylist URL https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist_noelemhide.txt &
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt ?Nothing is blocking in the FW logs?

I cleared the logs to find the error easier but the logs weren't showing any real errors so it was a lost cause no matter what for that.

What did you select in the Alexa Whitelist ? It hangs with Top 750K and Top 1M :(
