      Is the date time correct on the pfsense box?

      Yup, the dashboard pfS reads "Current date/time Thu May 10 11:23:16 CEST 2018"

      btw what is your MaxMind from, here it reads in the dashboard "MaxMind: Last-Modified: Mon, 06 Nov 2017 19:15:47 GMT"

        MaxMind: Last-Modified: Tue, 03 Apr 2018 22:41:00 GMT

        I am out of good ideas to help you :(.

        I did see this which I thought was interesting:
        https://serverfault.com/questions/681835/freebsd-pfsense-root-ca-fails

        Suggests to me your problem is not with pfblockerng but rather with openssl.  Perhaps it is unable to update its cert store?

        other ideas which may or may not help you:

        https://www.google.com/search?q=openssl+%22unable+to+get+local+issuer+certificate%22&oq=pfsense+%22unable+to+get+local+issuer+certificate%22

        wish I had answers for you.

        Curious to know what you eventually find.

        ps: I have found that a 2 am reinstall in some cases is a quicker bug fix then diving down the rabbit hole.  I guess it depends on how stock your config is.

          All of those feeds are hosted on Github and/or Amazon, so I would assume that a DNSBL Feed or an IP Blocklist is blocking access on download…  Check the pfBlockerNG Alerts Tab...

          Might need to whitelist:

          raw.githubusercontent.com
          s3.amazonaws.com
          

          or wildcard whitelist the whole domain

          .githubusercontent.com
          .amazonaws.com
          

          For the MaxMind issue, from the pfSense box, check to see if you can access the MaxMind site:

          host -t A geolite.maxmind.com
          geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.37.47
          geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.38.47
          
          

          Then try to ping the resulting IPs and get a reply.

          The MaxMind download errors are reported to the error.log file…

          Once you have fixed connectivity, you can manually download the MaxMind database with this command:

          php -f /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dc

                I added .geolite.maxmind.com to the Custom Domain Whitelist in DNSBL, but nothing changes, still I get the ip of the VIP, instead op 104.16.etc.

                  When you manually add a domain or an IP to a whitelist, you need to run a Reload to get it to apply the change or wait until the next cron run to execute… Alternatively, when you whitelist from the Alerts Tab, the whitelist/suppression will take effect immediately.

                    Thanks yeah I was pulling my hair ;)  After I added it to the whitelist, I did a "Select 'Reload' option" All and hit run got a "exists" in return. Then I realized it and a reload solved it.

                    Now

                    host -t A geolite.maxmind.com
                    geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.37.47
                    geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.38.47
                    
                    

                    Now I works, btw I can do a manual update of MaxMind, but when will pfblockerNG do it automatically?

                    Thanks BBCan177 I hope everything it going well with the next major release, thumbs up!!

                            Did you leave MaxMind Updates unticked ?

                            There is a Cron package you can install  ;)

                                  So what does the MaxMind updates trigger?

                                    @qinn Is there a way to check when the next update of MaxMind will run?

                                      @qinn You can check /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log to see when the last update was done.

                                        Thanks, nice overview btw of the last 2 years, seems I have to wait for 11 juni (when updating comes once a month)

                                          Hmm it's been well over a month and as from what it looks in the dashboard MaxMind isn't updated, I looked in

                                          cat /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log 
                                          

                                          and it reads:

                                          So it confirms that the last one, was the one I did manually, what goes wrong, why doesn't it update automatically once a month?

                                          Thnx for any advise

                                          Cheers Qinn

                                            @qinn said in Update lists fail:

                                            Nothing is wrong for now. You did a manual update on June 5th. The next automatic update will be done by Cron between the 4th and the 10th of July.

                                            BTW my last update was on 06/07/18, but the version is from May 1st
