      I've installed pfblockerng-devel but having a problem with browsers throwing an privacy/security alert on google ads and other links tied to google services. It appears that it's breaking HTTP Strict Transport Security. I want to continue using pfblockerng but is there a way to fix this? Any help is appreciated!

        Impossible. Installing pfBlockerNG-devel 2.2.5_3 does not change the behaviour of the router/firewall/pfSense.
        You've done something else you didn't mention.
        Like selecting feeds that contain many "Google" IP.

        Yep, impossible for pfBlockerNG to replace the info coming from from these https sites.
        This (example) :

        3528db45-0bef-438e-a64e-2d657cea8b20-image.png

        is the best you can get.

        edit : and think about it : you do not want it to get any better, because the price to pay would be huge - like breaking the entire Internet security.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          That's because you enabled rules that blocks those domains with ad content ... you can go to Firewall > pfBlockerNG > Alerts then scroll down to DNSBL then look for the domain you wanted to visit and click the plus symbol (+) to add to whitelist.
