<![CDATA[Creating a list for pfBlockerNG from uBlock's Logger]]>So I have visited a site and have uBlock's Logger running. I see several items in red. I assume the red items are being blocked by uBlock.
Can I add those items into pfBlocker?
Should they go in TLD Blacklist?
Or should I create a feed and host it on a site like pastebin and put the link in DNSBL Feeds?

Thanks for your help

I’d consider putting a trace on the port 53 traffic from that host to see what it’s looking for and where.

The LAN is on a VPN and should be routing through the VPN's DNS. By adding this firewall rule an ad will begin to play, then the app crashes. Interesting results. That's not what I was expecting.

There are instructions for blocking other DNS services, you should probably implement them.

I was asking for thoughts on the difference between an ad being blocked by pfBlocker when using a browser and an ad not being blocked when using a Google App to access the same site. What am I overlooking as to why one is served ads and the other is blocked? Thanks.

…. I need to take portions of a huge Old config, port it to the new machine and then modify it. A lot of it is IPv4 ASN lookups for outbound rules

This is more of a one time replication of portions of an old config, which does have unknown misconfigurations in it that I dont want to propagate to the new machine.

I dont think this going to be possible

Creating a DNSBL feed with custom a FQDNs list that never needs updating will greatly reduce the overhead on Unbounds workload during the pfBlockerNG Update process.

The unbound configuration doesn't need to know anything other than the FQDNs to ignore.

TLD Blacklist probably has to do many lookups to create the lists for Unbound

On another issue - how do I port pfBlockerNG config to another machine - there is zero capacity for pfBlockerNG in Backup/Restore under Diagnostics

Most of everyone uses Github to do block lists as I have started to make some lists of my own on Github and its far better than doing it on pastebin because Github will show any updates to the lists and 100% open source free.

I see now what you are referring to.
I have the clients behind pfSense and pfBlocker enabled with all the DNSBL categories selected. Adblocking is effectively working on many other sites thanks to pfBlocker.

I'm curious though why I am seeing a difference between visiting the site through a browser (ie. Firefox) and not seeing ads and using the Google App to load the site and it serves ads. Any thoughts on this difference and what I could do to block ads at the app level too?
