    Hmm it's been well over a month and as from what it looks in the dashboard MaxMind isn't updated, I looked in

    cat /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log 
    

    and it reads:

    So it confirms that the last one, was the one I did manually, what goes wrong, why doesn't it update automatically once a month?

    Thnx for any advise

      Nothing is wrong for now. You did a manual update on June 5th. The next automatic update will be done by Cron between the 4th and the 10th of July.

      BTW my last update was on 06/07/18, but the version is from May 1st

        Thanks for you reply, always helpful, but I have to say nope. I hoped that to, but 10/15/16 08:20:12 (as you can see below) isn't possible so it's dd-mm-yy, so there is something wrong...

                  Somehow this won't go away, last Maxmind is 7 june and still pfBlockerNG did not update it. Is there anyway to restore the "automatic updates" or do I have to remove and reinstall the package?

                    Did you check to see if something is blocking access to MaxMind web site? Another possibility is that MaxMind is blocking your IP or rate limiting it for some reason...

                    Does MaxMind resolve?

                    host -t A geolite.maxmind.com
                    

                    Can you download from this URL in a browser window:

                    https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
                    

                    Did you check the pfBlockerNG error.log?

                    If you run the updater script, do you get any errors?

                    php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dc
                    

                    Try the latest pfBlockerNG-devel version and see if that solves your issue....

                      1. Yes, I can download the file GeoIP.dat.gz

                      2. I added the files

                      /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log and error.log
                      

                      0_1532592170771_pfblokcerNG.7z

                      I don't see anything out of the ordinary in these two, but I'm not a dev πŸ˜‰ The 2 last updatesof MaxMind that are mentioned in the logs, where the result of a manually update using

                      code php -f /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dc
                      

                      My best guess is that if the MaxMind update is a cron job, it's not working anymore, a:

                      code crontab -l
                      

                      results in:

                      code crontab: no crontab for root
                      

                      So my last straw would be changing the update settings to the latest development and installing it, but I don't like unsolved cases (sorry that's me πŸ€“ ) is there anything more I could look into, as I still don't get how MaxMind is updated as it doesn't seem to be a cron job?

                      btw From what I've read, when I want to move over to the latest dev of pfblockerNG I have to first deinstall pfblockerNG and then install the dev version and all settings will be restored, is this the right way to move over to the dev version?

                      Cheers Qinn

                        PfSense doesn't have user specific crontabs ( for reasons that I have hard time understanding myself) and the only crontab on the system is the /etc/crontab file.

                          @kpa Thanks for pointing that one out to me, awaiting BBcan177 advise on how to proceed, hoping he can do something with the results and logs I provided.

                            Yes I would just go to devel and see if that fixes your issue.... There are a ton of new features in devel....

                            Also install the "Cron" package for pfSense and you can see the pfSense Cron tasks from there.
