<![CDATA[4 issues]]>I have 4 issues. The GeoIP Database keeps downloading every time my lists update, which is hourly. The Alerts tab now shows under CC, Unk for all entries. The Alerts tab under Rule and List do not match. The Alerts tab will not list more than 150 entries. I'm using v2.1.4_22. I'm on the latest pfSense.

Other than that, everything else was functioning properly. Must be some internal code, because all of my logs and settings are clean as a whistle. Thank you all for your kind help. I'll just chalk this up to experience and call it a day. Take care.

Once I did that, pfBlockerNG downloaded the new database and my issues began. Before that, everything worked normally, except The Alerts tab under Rule and List do not match randomly and The Alerts tab will not list more than 150 entries.

I'm on a fresh install with very basic settings for a home firewall. Nothing out of the ordinary is changed. I use Suricata and pfBlockerNG. pfBlockerNG keeps downloading the database every single time my lists update. The Alerts tab shows Unk under CC for all log entries. These are issues with pfBlockerNG not working correctly, from how it worked with the older database.

I have no idea what changed when I entered the license key, but it's out of my control, so I brought the issues here. The basic blocking and lists downloading functionality still work, so I removed the license key. I'm sure MaxMind is not too thrilled with their database being downloaded so much.

I'll do some digging through the logs to see if there's anything out of the ordinary and post an update.

Hopefully they'll all get fixed in an upcoming release. Thank you for the help and suggestion @provels I appreciate that.

I'll be reinstalling pfSense from scratch tomorrow. What fun...

I did try it, but it seems very incomplete. Some pages are even missing or not finished. I prefer functionality and stability. Thanks anyway.

I'd suggest saving your settings and upgrading to the latest devel ver 2.2.5_33 . Seems plenty stable to me.
