But that is in my

pfB_Blacklists IPv4 not DNSBL

RonpfS

You can also Diagnostics / Command prompt to run the dig command

For DNSBL to function, your devices have to use the pfsense DNS Resolver. On on those device you need to check the DNS service resolution config.
On a Windows system, open a command prompt and to a nslookup of one FQDN from you DSNBL Files.
Devices also have to be able to reach the VIP (10.10.10.1), try to ping the VIP ip from that device. Try to open your VIP on a browser.

I know its not working as ont he widget the packets don't update just stays on 0 used to go up etc…

It used to just work on everything in the house I never did anything to each device.

it just worked haha.

Check the Services page and restart pfblockerNG services
Check the System Logs General and Resolver

Silly question where are the "Check the System Logs General and Resolver" I can't find them.

Strange that you only get 2 entries …
Maybe increase the log files size (may need to Reset logs for this to take effect)
Also increase the GUI Log Entries

You didn't answer my questions about dig, VIP ping etc

Yes I did edited my post :P
FQDN is Fully qualified domain name … so pick one hostname from your Firewall / pfBlockerNG / Log Browser / DNSBL Files and do nslookup on it

nslookup mobiledl.adobe.com
Serveur :   pfsense.localdomain
Address:  172.xxx.xxx.254

Nom :    mobiledl.adobe.com
Address:  10.10.10.1

You mean like this?

Yes
This shows that your Windows is using resolver1.opendns.com for DNS resolution.
Now do dig amoffers.hasoffers.com in Diagnostics / Command Prompt

Next check / post your DNS Resolver configuration

So pfsense DNSBL is doing it's job on pfsense.
It's your device that is not using pfsense for DNS resolution. Does it get it's IP from pfsense via DHCP ?
What kind of antivirus / internet security are you using on your Windows. Some like AVG provide there own solution for DNS :

@BBcan177:

@xphiles:

so after much troubleshooting and trying things at the firewall level, i disabled my full avg protection and it works on the host(s) in question. so I have to granularly figure out which service in AVG is messing up my dns

I think this is what you were looking for:
https://help.avg.com/en/avg_free/17/securityantivirus_securedns.html

Riftcore34

Yes every device has an IP from pfsense and zero antivirus / security

Even my roku is showing ads but its got a ip from pfsense.

RonpfS

Check what DNS server is configured in the DHCP service. Leave empty to use pfsense config

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

is in there ill delete them and reboot.

RonpfS

Un-plug/re-plug the ethernet cable will do the same.
Or in Windows cmd run "ipconfig /renew"
"ipconfig" alone will show you the configuration
