4 issues
-
I have 4 issues. The GeoIP Database keeps downloading every time my lists update, which is hourly. The Alerts tab now shows under CC, Unk for all entries. The Alerts tab under Rule and List do not match. The Alerts tab will not list more than 150 entries. I'm using v2.1.4_22. I'm on the latest pfSense.

@MacG32
I'd suggest saving your settings and upgrading to the latest devel ver 2.2.5_33 . Seems plenty stable to me. -
I appreciate your suggestion, but it doesn't quite fix the problems with the latest stable version. I did try it, but it seems very incomplete. Some pages are even missing or not finished. I prefer functionality and stability. Thanks anyway.

I rebooted my firewall and now there are errors and extra things running at the start. route: writing to routing socket: Invalid argument 6 times in the boot log and 2 extra processes starting pfb_dnsbl.sh and pfb_filter.sh. I'll be reinstalling pfSense from scratch tomorrow. What fun...

Got everything reinstalled and reconfigured and am still facing the original issues. Hopefully they'll all get fixed in an upcoming release. Thank you for the help and suggestion @provels I appreciate that.

You have to inspect pfblockerNG logs, System logs, Resolver logs, DHCP logs, etc to figure out what is wrong with your settings

The only setting that changed was adding the MaxMind License Key. Once I did that, pfBlockerNG downloaded the new database and my issues began. Before that, everything worked normally, except The Alerts tab under Rule and List do not match randomly and The Alerts tab will not list more than 150 entries.
I'm on a fresh install with very basic settings for a home firewall. Nothing out of the ordinary is changed. I use Suricata and pfBlockerNG. pfBlockerNG keeps downloading the database every single time my lists update. The Alerts tab shows Unk under CC for all log entries. These are issues with pfBlockerNG not working correctly, from how it worked with the older database.
I have no idea what changed when I entered the license key, but it's out of my control, so I brought the issues here. The basic blocking and lists downloading functionality still work, so I removed the license key. I'm sure MaxMind is not too thrilled with their database being downloaded so much.
I'll do some digging through the logs to see if there's anything out of the ordinary and post an update.

I found an unbound error unrelated to these issues and fixed it. error: duplicate forward zone . ignored. Other than that, everything else was functioning properly. Must be some internal code, because all of my logs and settings are clean as a whistle. Thank you all for your kind help. I'll just chalk this up to experience and call it a day. Take care.
