need help with pfblocker

[emammadov]

Hello,
I had the same problem. I used Alias Native in pfblockerng.

1. Choose "Alias Native" in Action in pfBlockerng
2. Copy the name of the newly created Alias name in Firewall / Aliases / URLs
3. Create a new firewall rule in Firewall / Rules / WAN
   in the source address paste the copied alias names and save
4. Put the mail.ru ip address in the top of these rules.

I am using pfBlockerNG-devel. What pfblockerng are you using?

[catalinn.stanciu]

pfBlockerNG v2.1.4_16

[emammadov]

Alias Native is located in the bottom of page where you have selected Russia and China.

I found the Alias, made and apply the rulles using them...all worked perfect until next rule update/reload.

After update/reload, the rules i made in Firewall/Rules/WAN using the Alias get deleted or something like that. I dont see them in Firewall/Rules/WAN anymore...

Any fix for that? :D

Could you show screenshots?

It worked.

Im not sure what i did different from yesterday but it worked (i think).
It updates and i can restart/reload rules without losing the rules i created.

Thank you guys! U were great!

@catalinn-stanciu
I believe that you had initially used "pfB_" in the rule description for these Alias type (manual) firewall rules. For Alias types, you should prefix the rule description with "pfb_" (lowercase) which will also allow the widget to report on the statistics for these manually created firewall rules.

@bbcan177
It is very likely that i used "pfB_" in the rule description.
Thank you very much for the help and for the package :)
