      A bank app that uses or 'needs' ".app-measurement.com" to be accessible ?
      No way .....
      Afaik, it's the phone OS that collect app usage, and then calls home with the info. If it can't send the info, it shouldn't stop you from using the app.....

      @nanopulga said in pfBlockerNG blocking access to android bank app:

      Pointing DNSBL Virtual IP Address's to 127.0.0.1 instead of 10.10.10.1 works for me

      Why 127.0.0.1 ?

      Just :

      == 0.0.0.0 and you're fine.
      pfBlockerng logging and stats work fine.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        @Gertjan It works! The bank app works fine and the logging also works fine. Thank you so much!

        I did have to enable "Unbound python mode" which I actually saw you mention in another thread hah! Here: Pfblocker not working (not blocking ads or sites): I found it while googling for "Null block (logging)", since just with "Unbound mode" I couldn't see the option "Null Block (logging)" and I could only see "Null Block (no logging)"

          Hummm.
          Keep :

          0e8db1ce-183c-4111-8a9e-2e500325485f-image.png

          to the default 10.10.10.1

          Right now, you force the DNSBL web server to listen on address "0.0.0.0".
          "0.0.0.0" is not what I call a

          This address should be in an Isolated Range that is not already used in the Network.

          Again, when you use this :

          c29d060d-dcd8-4c55-93ec-57850dcd1ace-image.png

          you'll be fine.
