      Lately I have the following problem for the first time. A friends VPN-IP-addresses (NordVPN, he is always using the same endpoints) are not int the corresponding GEO-IP list anymore. Also they now could be blocked by a feed under deny inbound on WAN on my side.

      So my questions is this, can I search in pfBlocker or pfSense for an specific IP-Address, if it is in an alias ore something like that, other than the normal firewall-log?

        Well, lol.
        You want your friend to be identified when he calls you.
        And he is willingly hiding his phone number (or using a random one).

        What about talking to each other, I'm sure a solution exists with changing one setting somewhere.

        And blocking with GEO-IP lists on your side and on your friend having this VPN App showing the planet earth as a choice with the thousands of VPN servers every where ... is just hilarious.

        Make a deal with your fried : let him choose a country, like China.
        And you remove the blockign GEO-IP for China.
        Problem resolved.

        Well, yeah, pfBlocker downloads plain text files with IP networks - one per line. Use a text editor like Notepad++ to search in all those files or the tools made for the job : grep.

        Note : or ask your friend to stop using his VPN over a VPN when he wants to VPN at your place.

        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          He doesn't, he just is using that mentioned VPN-Service and also wants to connect to my Servers on WAN.

            to my Servers on WAN

            Your servers on your WAN => Wide Area Network, also called the Internet.
            What has this to do with your pfSense network ?

            pfBlocker can't protect devices that are on the WAN side of pfSense.

              @Gertjan Yeah, you got it all wrong, probably because of my English-writing-skills. 😉
