      Updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and now I am getting the following message for all of my DNSBL:

      Unresolvable destination alias 'pfB_Abuse_CH' for rule 'pfB_Abuse_CH auto rule'

      When I went to installed packages, pfBlockerNG (version 2.1.1_8) has a check mark indicating that it is current, but under the description I have the following messages (see attached screenshot):

      Newer version available
          Package is configured but not (fully) installed

      I tried re-installing pfBlocker from the installed packages menu with no change. I have also completely removed pfBlocker then installed it again from available packages and this also did not make any differences.

      I check /conf/pkg_log_pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG.txt  (see below) and there are no error messages. Using dig to check DNS resolution for several websites on my black list confirmed that pfBlocker is not working.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        Those are part of the "Legend"  ::)

        Did you do a Force Update or Force Reload ALL ?

          Thanks. You are correct, I was confusing the legend for messages.
