      Seems the errors in the system log may help:

        pfBlocker 2.1.4_12

        Can you upgrade to the pfBlockerNG-devel version?

          Think I'll stick with the stable version and manually add for the time being. Thanks for the feedback.

            I’m having the exact same issue.

            I’m on the same versions of pfsense and pfblocker.

            I can manually add without issue.

            I too would rather not use a development build because I don’t want to deal with unpredictable bugs...which is kind of what I have here, so...

              I have posted a PR which will fix this issue here:
              https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/577/files

              Just waiting for the devs to review and merge.

              You can manually edit this file: /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_alerts.php and comment out Line #82 with // (prefix two slashes to that line)

              https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/blob/devel/net/pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG/files/usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_alerts.php#L82

                    My only question is how to get the fix apart from making the change myself or using a dev build? Am I waiting for an update to the pfblocker pkg?

                      @mloiterman There should be a new version posted for pfBlockerNG. Update to 2.1.4_17.

                      Might need to run pkg update -f from the shell.
