        Make sure;

        • Your clients/workstations behind pfSense are pointing to the pfSense box for DNS (normally the LAN address of your pfSense firewall)

        • using "nslookup" tool, query the pfSense DNS directly (normally the LAN IP address) and test for domain names that should be blocked

        • Do you need to check the box TLD under pfBlockerNG so that www.domainname.com and xxx.domainname.com is also blocked?

        DNSBL works great, I suspect it's a setup issue on your pfSense and/or network.
