      @garyd9:

      (reviving this thread…)  I'm using version 2.1.1_6 and am wondering if there any update on this issue?  (creating ipv4 rules for ipv6 lists)  If a fix is pending, I don't want to manually put in a work-around that I'll have to take back out in a few days...

      I hope to have the next release submitted in a month or so…

        Hi!
        I'm using version 2.1.2_3, which is the most recent, and this is still an issue. Is there still a plan to fix this?

          This should be fixed in the pfBlockerNG-devel version.

            Is there a timeframe to get this into the main package? Whenever I try to move to the -devel package it bricks my pfSense box so that's not a working workaround.

              @IamGimli What version of pfSense are you using?

                @BBcan177 I'm running pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 with pfBlockerNG version 2.1.4_16.

                  You need to provide some more details about your issue when you install pfBlockerNG-devel. Does it install without any errors? At what part do you run into issues? Did you review any of the logs (pfblockerng.log, system.log, resolver.log etc)?

                    @BBcan177 The pfBlockerNG-devel package installs successfully (according to the interface) but then clicking anything in the interface results is a frozen screen and a bricked box. I have to wipe it and recover from the last backup. I haven't looked into any log files or done any more troubleshooting because, again, that's not a solution to my actual problem, which is that IPv6 rules are created as IPv4 rules.

                      IPv6 is addressed in pfBlockerNG-devel, I don't have the time to backport all those changes to the pfBlockerNG version.

                        Alright, I was finally able to make the -devel package work, by reinstalling pfSense from scratch. Glad to see the IPv6 rules are now working properly!

                        Thank you for your help.
