How to reset pfBocker?
-
Goto the pfSense diagnostics/tables page and delete the "pfB_Test" alias if it exists.
Aliastable IP contents are saved in /var/db/aliastables. If that alias exists there, you can manually delete it.
The conversion of domains to IPs is a hit and miss process if the domain may have several different IPs. So it's use should be limited to domains that typically have a single IP address. It's probably better to use the Whois format and enter the AS number if available for the domains or block those domains via DNSBL.

I don't see it in the Tables page, although there aren't any delete icons for anything in there anyways.
Alias is not in the aliastables file either.
-
Try this command:
pfctl -t pfB_Test -T kill -
Didn't remove the trace of it. Said 0 tables were deleted.
-
Only other possibility is a firewall rule that has a reference to that alias. If it's there then delete that rule.
-
I had cleared out everything it had created in all of those Firewall sections.
-
Check the pfsense firewall / aliases / urls tab. And see if it's referenced there.
-
It is not.
-
When you goto the Dashboard are you getting an error notice? Did you clear that notice? Does it return after clearing it? Maybe it's just a remnant of an old notice. Can also try a reboot.
-
I've gotten error notices regularly upon entering dashboard, it happening overnight and waking up to it. I got one after I instructed pfSense to reboot. I think I also got one for looking at it the wrong way.
So they've come back often, even after total clear out of settings and reinstall. Have rebooted numerous times, even updated pfSense one of those times.
