      Three comments unreleated to your actual issue:-

      1. Why the WAN rules and why is https open on the WAN interface, hope your port forwarding it.

      2. Your 3rd LAN rule destination should be either LAN address or This Firewall.

      3. Your 4th LAN rule won't do anything as traffic will match the rule above it.

      Related to the issue:-

      1. If you mouse over pfB_DNSBLIP_v4 does it show any entries.

      1. What exactly are you trying to block, DNS requests to anything apart from your pfSense device.

                They are blocked by default no need to have rules on the WAN the default is deny.

                  There are loads of pfBlocker guides on the internet.

                  Looks to me like you need to do a few things.

                  Firewall -> pfBlockerNG -> IP in the IP Interface/Rules Configuration.

                  Set Inbound Firewall Rules to the WAN interface.

                  Set Outbound Firewall Rules to the Local LAN interface / interfaces

                  Then look at why the pfBlocker rules your creating aren't adding any ip addresses.

                  Show pfB_DNSBLIP.

                      Now the second part is i need to through all deny list data to 3rd party platform for visibility to logs on monthly basis.

                      Is there any mechanism to through PF-BLOCKER data to other platform like (API , Syslog etc.)

                        You can't syslog pfblocker events.

                        But you could syslog everything from pfSense and filter in syslog on the rule ID, it's a bit of a kludge.

                            That output is from my network attached storage, I send my pfSense logs via syslog to it, it's not great.
