      afaik, if you uninstalled it again there shouldnt be any 'issues' arising from it..

      Keeping it installed might prevent webgui and some services from launching properly at startup.. (if you do reboot and run into this the Webgui can be 'fixed' by running (11 restart) and (16 php-fpm) commands from console menu. after which you can then login and launch other services again..)

        Yes I have to adjust for the new XMLRPC changes in 2.4…

        If you don't use XMLRPC sync in pfBlockerNG:

        A temporary workaround would be to download this file which will allow the rest of the package to function…  I haven't fully tested it, so keep in mind to fully test this before using in production... This file should be downloaded before installing the package...

        fetch -o /etc/inc/xmlrpc.inc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pfsense/pfsense/RELENG_2_3_2/src/etc/inc/xmlrpc.inc

        Once the package has been updated for 2.4, this file should be deleted…

        rm  /etc/inc/xmlrpc.inc

          There are issues with using PFsence. Here is a crash dump. Looks like a logging issue. I will turn off all PFblockerNG logging and see if it helps.

          Crash report begins.  Anonymous machine information:

            Update - Got another Crash Report. Disabling logs does not fix this issue. PFblockerNG does need some work to run on PFsense 2.4
            I sent the logs to the dev team.

              Which log file were you trying to view?

                I wasn't trying to view logs, most of them don't work, or at least the firewall logs don't work. This was a crash report that hasn't shown up since.

                  The crash report that you posted above is for the pfBlockerNG Log tab… so it looks like it didn't find a particular log file to view?? If this only happened once than ignore...

                  I haven't had any time to load 2.4 and test it out... on the list of things too do...

                  Also not the following redmine:

                    Just updated to today's version of 2.4.0 and got another PFblockerNG crash report when I forced an update. Forced update again and did not see a crash report. PFblocker does work.

                      A note for anyone that applied the forced patch above.
                      You must apply it after every update until it is fixed in 2.4

                        Adding the earlyshell-command "touch /etc/inc/xmlrpc.inc" in the shellcmd package seems to keep things happy relatively easy.. Sync wont work though, but i don't expect it will with the fetch either though.

                          Thanks for that. Installed the Shellcmd package and added the command. Let you know if any problems after the next update.

                            That Shellcmd worked great. Updated to the latest dev version 11/19 and had no issues with PFblocker this time.
                            Thanks!
