pfBlockerNG DNSBL service will not start
-
I try to start the service several times but its refusing to.
-
check the system logs, there is nothing here to help you
-
I ssh into the device to view the system log live as I attempt to start the service. I also use the following command to view anything to do with DNS: cat system.log | grep DNS. After entering the command in terminal it displayed the service is started. I check the GUI and sure enough its started. I then reload DNSBL and now its good. I am at a loss on how "cat" command can start a service.

Go to pfblocker - Update - and run a update

All is good now. Thank you for your time. Somehow "cat" command got the service started. I don't understand it, but will take it.
