<p dir="auto">IP Deny List is generating at this moment !</p>
<p dir="auto">It could had been a setting I did miss on the IP Configuration page:<br />
Firewall / npfBlockerNG / IP</p>
<p dir="auto">At "IP Interface/Rules Configuration" browser I did highlight both (WAN &amp; LAN) options (both since frankly I don't know which to choose) at:</p>
<ul>
<li>Inbound Firewall Rules</li>
<li>Outbound Firewall Rules</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Then I did follow your steps to "Force Reload"</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1538702337765-pfsense-ip-config-page-resized.png" alt="0_1538702336319_pfsense ip config page.PNG" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">I do apologize for error on my side, in setting up pfBlockerNG; I hope this will help someone else too.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you BBcan177 &amp; RonpfS for your help and time on this.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you</p>

<p dir="auto">Did you go to <span style="color:#590f0f"><strong>Firewall / pfBlockerNG / Update</strong></span> and did a <em><strong>Force Reload All</strong></em> ?</p>
<p dir="auto">One thing that may fix some issues is to go to General, IP and DNSBL tab and click on <em><strong>Save settings</strong></em>. Then run a  <em><strong>Force Reload All</strong></em></p>
