                  So I actually was not running dev version .. so I updated to that now and yet still the same issue. Also made a new key just to be sure.

                        So it's all fixed after a reboot of pfsense. Guess something was clogged up ¯_( ͠° ͟ʖ °͠ )_/¯

                            Not a clue sorry, it maybe that I have a few rules set to block by ASN.

                            AFAIK its been there all the time.

                                A reboot seems to force geoip cc updates and asn updates 🍕

                                  This is fixed in the next version. The pfb_filer service needs to be restarted on first download of MaxMind.

                                    Hello!

                                    sg-3100 running 2.4.5.r.20200305.1800
                                    pfblockerng-devel 2.2.5_29

                                    I have been having this problem and just found this thread.
                                    Maxmind key is good.
                                    Manually ran the pfblockerng.php dc command with success.
                                    extras.log shows successful download and parsing.
                                    Restarted the router.
                                    Tried clearing all downloaded lists (disable/enable pfBlockerNG & Keep Settings check boxes).
                                    pfBlockerNG Reports -> Alerts and IP Stats still show "Unk" for GeoIP in all reports.

                                    Is there anything else I can check or try?

                                    Thanks!

                                      Restart the "pfb_filter" service and it should start reporting on new events as long as Maxmind DB was previously downloaded successfully.

                                        Hello!

                                        How do I restart the service?

                                        Not sure if this test is valid, but I ran this:

                                        /usr/local/bin/mmdblookup -v -f /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb -i 1.1.1.1 country iso_code

                                        and got this:

                                        Can't open /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb - The MaxMind DB file contains invalid metadata

                                          Hello!

                                          I tried deleting the GeoLite2-Country.mmdb file and then recreating it by running :

                                          php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dc

                                          It was recreated, but still gives the same error when running mmdblookup.

                                          The size of the mmdb file in pfb is :

                                          -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2048734 Mar 7 22:24 GeoLite2-Country.mmdb

                                          When I download the GeoLite2-Country.mmdb file directly from maxmind, the file looks like this :

                                          GeoLite2-Country.png

                                            Hello!

                                            Sorry to keep bugging you...

                                            It looks like pfb is just renaming the download from maxmind to ,mmdb without actually extracting the files.

                                            The GeoLite2-Country.mmdb file is 2048734 bytes, which is the same length as the GeoLite2-Country_20200303.tar.gz download from maxmind.

                                            cp GeoLite2-Country.mmdb GeoLite2-Country.tar.gz
                                            and then
                                            gzip -l ./GeoLite2-Country.tar.gz
                                            shows that the mmdb file was really a tar.gz file

                                            I think....
