Errors loading rules

I did sign up for my MaxMind account everything else seems to download.

Well I don't use whatever list your using there - but could be a problem with the list, could be a problem with your connection to where that list is located, etc.

What specific list is in - there are a lot of them.. Post a pic of where you set that, and I can try and download it.

edit: is it this?

edit2: if you load it in a browser does it come up

This one isn't GeoIP related.

But if all pfBlockerNG boxes around the planet are using default Cron settings, it's possible that some web sites are getting hit hard every hour.

Change Cron Start Hour, Cron Start minutes, even better change Cron hour interval to something bigger.

CF 522 connection timeout. Also another entry that is CF 525 SSL handshake failed.

@Phantom_Stage @johnpoz That's this list.

It's part of the preconfigured feeds, not GeoIP. If you can hit the link, it should work now. Maybe it was offline temporarily.

I don't think its default to be on... I do not recall ever going in and turning it OFF... And as you can see it is..

@johnpoz Feeds have evolved over the last year, pfBlockerNG as well.

I thought maybe the default that @RonpfS was referring to was the update interval. The default on some of these lists is once per hour. If he left the default at once per hour and several other folks are trying to update once an hour as well, that could cause an overload on the server where the list is located and cause the download to fail. Really the download interval on most all of these lists should be no more often than once per day.

That is true but running the latest version.. And its off on mine.. I really don't use any of those anyway.. I just use the geoip based stuff to be honest. I just use the alias feature..

Not really sure what you guy's are talking about here kinda like a fresh nu-Bee with this. but I am using the Geo IP and DNSBL. Will look further into logs and see if I can narrow this down.

Here is what I see in the logs as failed.

If your having problems downloading lists - you have to check with the list owner.

Ok Thanks for all the help John.
