pfBlockerNG not blocking URLs from feed list

[chicagoukes]

Hello, New to pfSense, coming from a smoothwall/dansguardian setup.
Goal is webfiltering for adult content and other annoyances.

I had pfBlockerNG working but I broke it and need help.

Fresh install of pfSense, Installed pfBlockerNG. I've added the lists from piehole and Steve's black lists. Per lawson systems tutorial on youtube. ( https://youtu.be/QwFpMwXEK5w )

Initially sites were being blocked, but I was over zealous with adding lists. I removed and updated some lists and now nothing is being blocked. I also was trying to add openDNS ip's to the system's DNS.

In addition I need to add a few additional urls that are not on the above public lists.

Current problem: Now sites are not being blocked at all.

Where do I begin my troubleshooting or any better tutorials to verify my setup?

See this tutorial:
https://www.linuxincluded.com/block-ads-malvertising-on-pfsense-using-pfblockerng-dnsbl/

Also to wildcard block domains, you will need to enable the TLD feature so that all sub-domains are blocked.

Thank you so much for the link. This worked.

I've enabled the ad/malware lists from the tutorial and added Steve's Black Lists for adult content. I was also able to add the easy lists.

Unfortunately I quickly found that some common URL's are note on these lists. I am going to open a new thread trying to get OpenDNS working as another layer. Unfortunately I've found that if I follow a setup for open DNS it breaks the platform.
