Goto the general tab and uncheck "Keep Settings", then uncheck "Enable pfBlockerNG" followed by a Save. This will wipe all previously downloaded files. Re check both boxes then Force Update.
See if that resets it.

Thank you. It seems to have started working now by itself before I tried your suggestion. I can see many entries in the alerts page.
I had initially configured the wrong time zone (nearly 12 hours difference) when setting up pfsense. Sometime later, I changed to my timezone. This was done after I configured pfblockerng. I think that may have caused some issue.

I did this now just to be sure. Its blocking fine after that.
