pfBlockerNG-devel v3.0.0_9

Is it safe to use this devel version in production?

@giminik In this case yes. The dev version is the version being updated with new features and bug fixes. Think of the non dev version as legacy.

I won't speak for the developer, @BBcan177, but I think the extended development cycle for pfSense 2.5 is at the root of this unusual naming situation and that it will be resolved when 2.5 is released.

There is something else I do not really understand:
I have only 1 TLD in the DNSBL Whitelist and in the "DNS over HTTPS/TLS Blocking" I have Firefox an 4 other server highlighted.
When I disable the "DNS over HTTPS/TLS Blocking" I have 3 entries in the "pfbdnsblsuppression.txt" (accordingly 3 in the widget). When I activate "DNS over HTTPS/TLS Blocking" I got 179 entries in the pfbdnsblsuppression.txt regardless what servers I highlighted in the "DNS over HTTPS/TLS Blocking". When I look in the pfbdnsblsuppression.txt all servers are in the whitelist regardless what I have chosen in "DNS over HTTPS/TLS Blocking".

Can you please explain me that behavior a simple as possible?

Thanks a lot for you excellent work!

First, click on the Blue infoblock Icons for the TLD Blacklist and TLD Whitelist.

The TLD Blacklist is used to block a whole TLD like "ru" or "top" etc
The TLD Whitelist, is used to allow a domain that is being TLD Blacklisted. IE: "example.ru". The TLD Whitelist is not required for Unbound Python mode, as those domains can now be whitelisted in the same fashion as all other whitelisting.

The TLD Whitelist, is not same thing as the DNSBL Whitelist.

The DNSBL Whitelist is where you want to add domains to be whitelisted, and its best to whitelist by clicking on the "+" icon in the Reports tab as those take effect immediately. Adding a domain manually to the whitelist, will require a Force Reload - DNSBL to take effect.

Can you please explain me that behavior a simple as possible?
Thanks a lot for you excellent work!

Thanks, and hope that helps!

@bbcan177

OK. But from where come those 181 Whitelist-Entrys shown in the pfblocker widget? (see atach)

I have nothing introduced deliberately in the DNSBL Whitelist.

@fireodo Click on it, it brings you to DNSBL Tab, how many entries do you have in Custom Whitelist?

Let me answer that question : 90 entries (close to).
This number is doubled (www is prepended for every host name if it isn't starting with www) and the final ",localhost.localdomain,," is added.

No, only 1!

The rest of the entrys in the file you mention are all the DoH/DoT Servers from the "DNS over HTTPS/TLS Blocking" -List ;-)

Post you Whitelist and the pdbdnsblsuppresstion.txt so we can help.

@fireodo You are using Unbound mode or Python Unbound Mode ?

Unbound Mode.

Thanks

RonpfS

@fireodo I am with Unbound Python mode, so I can't verify the difference in file between mode.

But this may be normal,

Hmmm, if I deactivate the DNS over HTTPS/TLS Blocking the Whitelist is reduced to 3 (in the pfblocker Widget - and also in the pfbdnsblsuppression.txt)
