unable to update any feeds in PFBlockerNG

[hwextreme]

Hi I have noticed that none of my feeds are updating, I have tired disabling and re-enabling pfblocker, checked that I can traceroute to the feed addresses and can download the lists from clients connected to pfsense. But for some reason pfblockerng cannot update them.

DNS seems to be working fine for all clients and the pfsense fw itself, and I cannot see anything being blocked in the firewall at the time of the update or reload operations -and the error states is not a firewall issue? I am now stumped as to what is causing it to fail to contact the servers for the feeds.

ok, this is now fixed in case anyone else has this issue this is where I started to realise what was wrong..

checked route out f the firewall - not looking good
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfSense2.localdomain]/root: host -t srv _https._tcp.pkg.pfsense.org
_https._tcp.pkg.pfsense.org has SRV record 10 10 443 files01.netgate.com.
_https._tcp.pkg.pfsense.org has SRV record 10 10 443 files00.netgate.com.
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfSense2.localdomain]/root: route -n get default
route: route has not been found

checked the default gateway which was set to the WAN_PPPoE gateway, changed this to the VPN gateway and I the firewall can now route traffic and can see the lists and packages
