Need help trying to figure out what to unblock
-
I am running 2.4.5 with pfBlockerNG-devel and trying to tune it to watch streaming on a Roku stick with latest update. 192.168.1.121 is the Roku device.
I am running several lists
It is breaking a lot of streaming channels but when I go into Alerts, it shows nothing is being blocked.
For example, CBS doesn't allow me to watch old shows but everything is open for CBS and I show no blocks:
Anyone help me figure this out, wife is going to kill me. It's either her shows work or pfBlocker has to go.

This is happening to me also. I am new to pfsense and pfBlocker so not sure where the problem exactly is.
When i disable pfblockerNG devel and was able to stream.
In our situation, a family member was trying to stream from the CBS website directly on his chromebook it gave him a message about their supporter ad attempting to run and was likely stopped by a ad blocker. This happens with a local blocker and the user turns it off and can then stream but since last night I activated pfBlocker today he can't stream. When I turned it all of pfBlocker he was
able to stream.
So i need some help here also. -

Check the logs. go here : Firewall > pfBlockerNG > Alerts and check the Alerts and DNSBL logs list.
Btw : activating many lists as @amrogers3 did stands for asking many problems ^^
Remember : these lists could contain 'anything' so most probably also DSN names that you do not want to block (but some one else did).Ok to have big lists, but you add them one by one by one :
10) Add a list,
20 Test a week, or more, up until the moment no one complains any more,
25 Also check if this new list has positive hits = it's a useful list,
30 Then you add another list, and goto 10. -
@amrogers3 I guess you have also enabled many IP lists. You should check those alerts too, not just DNSBL's.

Agreed that's a lot of lists
Tone them down. The potential protection they are providing you are not worth the issues you are having and will have. I know it's tempting to add everything, hit save and walk away, but that's asking for trouble. Every now and then even well established lists that have been working fine for a long time can start to block legit stuff. It's the nature of the beast. Having many lists just makes it more difficult to track down which one is causing headaches. It is sometimes hard to track down which specific list it is so I think @Gertjan approach is best.
