Converting rules to Alias type and errors when disabling package
-
I used the trick of replacing all the pfB_ with pfb_ in the descriptions and did the following:
Then Disable the package.
Edit all of the IPv4/6/GeoIP aliases to be "Alias type"
Then re-enable the package…It seems to work.
But I notice that after this modification when I disable pfB I get tons of notifications, consequently my email account gets bombarded (as I have email notfications on.) Am I doing something wrong here or is there a way to suppress these notifications.
The errors on in the form of "Unresolvable source alias 'pfB_Asia_v4' for rule 'pfb_Asia_v4 auto rule'..." , they only stop from appearing when I re-enable pfB.

When you disable pfBlockerNG, it removes the aliases and FW rules it created (auto-rule).
In your case of Alias type table, you have to disable the pfb_ FW rules before disabling pfBlockerNG. -

Found it, in the [filter][rule][0][disabled] array, when using pfSsh.php
EDIT: i tried to disable a rule to see a change in the [filter][rule][0][disabled] variable, and interestingly enough it didn't change from being empty, i would have expected to be set to "yes". am i missing somthing?
