          Aha, that got it! I still don't know why the cron task ORIGINALLY was not updating the full list. But once I started using my manual disable list, I turned cron off because it kept changing my rule order. I will turn cron back on and make a change to the list then report tomorrow if it updates properly on its own.

            If Auto Rules doesn't fit your setup, use Action : Alias and create your own FW Rules with these aliases.

              Ok, the cron ran, but it is not picking up changes to my IPv4 blacklist. I have the blacklist set to update frequency of once per day and the overall cron settings on the general tab is set to once per day. But if I make any change to the custom IPv4 deny list, they don't show up unless I do the force with complete reload option ticked. Is this correct? I don't mind having to do that every time, but it makes me wonder if it is never truly picking up changes from maxmind either unless I hit the reload option.

                What Cronjob is it running? It certainly should be updating that.

                  The one that gets enabled by the cron settings on the general tab and the one in the list itself is the only way I know how to answer you.

                    Ok so try setting the update interval to something less than the reload interval. Like it says there: 'within the Cron Interval'.

                      Ok, to get a faster picture on if it was working... I set the general tabs schedule to once every 2 hours and set the blacklist custom list update time to 1 hour. After making those changes and saving it, I edited the custom list and then left it for 3 hours or so. It still did not update on its own.

                        Hmm, check the crontab. You can use the Cron package to do that via the GUI.
