Hi,

forum post as image

Sorry for posting that as an image, but I keep getting “Error - Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com” and otherwise I couldn't submit the post.

Try to run a "Force Reload - IP" and see if that clears the issue.

Otherwise, goto the Uncheck "Keep Settings", then disable pfBlockerNG, Save. then re-check "Keep Settings", re-enable pfBlockerNG, then Force Update.

A force-reload-IP resulted in:

[ blocklist_de ]	 Reload . completed ..
…
Updating: pfB_blocklistde
no changes.

No clue if that indicates success. But I'll wait 1-2 days and check if that error keeps coming up again. In case it does: the other suggestion you had, does it wipe the pfBlockerNG config? Meaning, do I have to reconfigure everything?

And thanks for the quick reply.

That did not solve the issue. Then I tried your 2nd suggestion and it seems to have worked. No issues so far. Thanks a lot for the quick help.
