Thank you @RonpfS!

[RonpfS]

pfBlockerNG-devel 2.2.1 is now available under 2.3.5-RELEASE-p2

[bbrendon]

Any idea when this new version is going to be a "non-devel" version?

I have only seen this on a few systems. So far the solution has been to change the SQLite3 PRAGMA journal_mode from "wal" to "delete". I haven't had much time to investigate the reason. Before I post a fix, I want to do some additional testing, however; you can test the following:

If you can edit the file:

/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc

and change the following line 3842
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/blob/devel/net/pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel/files/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc#L3842

From:

$db_handle->exec("PRAGMA journal_mode = wal;");

To:

$db_handle->exec("PRAGMA journal_mode = delete;");

No adverse behavior observed thus far.

Edit: Had another two of these same crash reports generate.

Edit: make that three .. still no adverse side-effects though.

@netgate-james Did changing wal to delete fix the issue for you?

See: https://forum.netgate.com/post/775962

The crashes are fewer and farther between, on a recent (not current) 2.4.4 snap (before php56 went to php72).

If you have already changed "wal" to "delete" and are still experiencing those issues, can you try the following:

Delete the sqlite dbs and run a Force Reload - All to rebuild them.

rm /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl.sqlite*
rm /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl_cache.sqlite*
rm /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl_levent.sqlite*

[Okijames]

I have 4GB RAM so increasing /var RAMDISK to see what happens.

[Okijames]

Holding strong and working great at 26% of 250GB on /var.

Any idea when this new version is going to be a "non-devel" version?

I ask because 2.1 has some really annoying bugs. I'm trying to decide how long I should hold out or just install the devel version.

Same here, I went for the devel 2 weeks ago and I'm happy so far.
Take care to switch the update branch to "unstable" first and grab the devel from there, then you can switch the update branch back to stable (no need to go to unstable with pfSense itself).

Uninstall the 2.1 first, your settings will be preserved. I made a snapshot of my pfSense VM first so I felt really safe ;-)

I've been having similar issues with this error:
/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc: New alert found: PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc, Line: 3958, Message: Call to a member function bindValue() on boolean.

Been happening for some time - not sure when it started - but I'm currently running 2.4.4-Dev. I made the change that was suggested - changing "wals" to "delete" - so I'll try to report back in a few days. When this PHP issue occurred CPU load for the PHP process would be very high - to the point you could not log in even via serial console. Most of the time you could log in but could not do anything - even reboot seems to hang.
