      I just hope that Netgate does not take too long to review the package ...

      It's a package.
      I guess @BBcan177 pushes out an update as soon as he finished writing and testing.

        Netgate just needs to approve it ...

                        They mention "up to 25 keys"...do you happen to know if we need a separate key for each router, if we have more than one?

                          @teamits it's more about control over your account API usage. So it up to you to decide how much control you need. 1 key per software or 1 key per hardware instance or one key for all. If you directly know where you use it fine. When time is come to rotate the keys you want not to miss where you was used them :)

                            So I went ahead and installed pfBlockerNG 2.1.4_19 on my pfsense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 machine and signed up for an account with MaxMind and obtained a license key. I started downloading from MaxMind and am running into an issue with extracting data from the tarred database.

                            It appears the files have been downloaded but not untarred. The error appears to have to do with setting up the default locale for the tar command. The language on pfsense is set to English and so is MaxMind localization language. What do I need to do to fix this?

                              Can you try uninstalling pfBlockerNG and trying pfBlockerNG-devel?

                                  OK I found the issue with pfBlockerNG and the "tar" error.

                                  I posted a fix here (v. 2.1.4_20)
                                  https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/742/files

                                  Would still recommend that everyone move to pfBlockerNG-devel. Will be ending pfBlockerNG version soon.

                                  The DNSBL Error might be fixed with a "Force Reload - All"

                                        I just updated, already put my license key and it's working.

                                        How do you know it worked?

                                        I am on pfBlockerNG-devel 2.2.5_28, added MaxMind License Key, ran update and reload, but when look at

                                        Did it work ?

                                          @chudak Probably "working" in that it no longer throws the error. MaxMind updates their data first Tuesday of every month, but pfBNG doesn't until the following Thursday in case there's a delay. Check again on the 9th. If I'm incorrect please let me know.

                                              You can run the following from the command prompt to see if it updates:
                                              "php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dc", copy and paste without the quotes.

                                                Check if the files downloaded from maxmind are located at:

                                                    @BBcan177 , on pfBlockerNG, v2.1.4_20, it looks like if I open the plugin page (Firewall/pfBlockerNG) the MaxMind License Key field is blank. maxmind_key is populated in the saved config file, which I saved after entering it...I'm thinking maybe it's not populating correctly on the page?

                                                    (saw your comment about upgrading/moving to -devel in all cases, just haven't gotten to that yet)

                                                      You can run the following from the command prompt to see if it updates:
                                                      "php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dc", copy and paste without the quotes.

                                                      confirmed: running 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 -> pfBlockerNG 2.1.4_20 (updated, paste the MaxMind "License Key") worked!

                                                      Thank you very much!

                                                        I'll just add that I updated the package, filled in the key and ran an update. All went smoothly. 👍

                                                            Maybe an Force Update can help?
                                                            Something else - I switched from pfblockerng to pfblockerng-devel an there is a increase of RAM usage from about 13% - is it also in your case?

                                                              @BBcan177 , on pfBlockerNG, v2.1.4_20, it looks like if I open the plugin page (Firewall/pfBlockerNG) the MaxMind License Key field is blank. maxmind_key is populated in the saved config file, which I saved after entering it

                                                              I checked several times yesterday and the field had the key in it each time I logged in. On a hunch waited until overnight again, and this morning the field is blank in the GUI. Seems so unlikely but is there some way it could disappear overnight? If I export the config file this morning it's missing, compared to my last export 3 days ago:

                                                                Hi,
                                                                just a quiston: If Idon't want to use GeoIP and set "Disable MaxMind CSV database Updates" checkbox I'm already get an notification every hour that "MaxMind need a license". Is there a way to block this spam without disabling the notification or uninistalling pfBlockerNG?
                                                                Cheers

                                                                        does anyone know what might be wrong, please?

We believe that an open-source security model offers disruptive pricing along with the agility required to quickly address emerging threats.
