You need to get a MaxMind Registration, just follow the steps in this link to get the registration: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/149343/pfblockerng-maxmind-registration-required-to-continue-to-use-the-geoip-functionality/16.

These steps should resolve the errors you are seeing. After you complete this if you still have questions, come back ask them.

@jdeloach Thanks I registered and got my License but don't see the latest version of pfBlockerNG 2.2.5_28 which is needed as I understand...only have 2.2.5_27 available...Will I have to uninstall the package and reinstall?

@Phantom_Stage
No pfBlockerNG 2.2.5_28 should show in the pfSense package manager as an update.

Phantom_Stage

@BBcan177 The package is not showing. for me still says 2.2.5_27... Is there a way to force the update?

BBcan177

@Phantom_Stage
What version of pfSense? Try to run this command from the shell "pkg update -f"

@Phantom_Stage
I asked the devs and got this response:

"If they are on snapshots (2.4.5 or 2.5.0) then the new packages are not immediately available, but will only show up when the next snapshot run happens."

Phantom_Stage

@Phantom_Stage Thanks BBcan177...ran the "pkg update -f"...When is the snapshot scheduled do you know? Speaking as if i know what a snapshot is. closest thing I know to that is a Hockey Slapshot...lol.

@Phantom_Stage
Not sure maybe by tomorrow?

Phantom_Stage

@BBcan177 Thanks again...! maybe I should have waited before going to 2.4.5-DEVELOPMENT just did that about two hours ago.

Phantom_Stage

Much thanks to all who jumped in on this...! I was able to install the pfBlockerNG package today 2.2.5_28. Things are running well.
