      Ive been learning PfBlocker and Pfsense - so please excuse any newbie related issues...

      I just had Netgate support check into my set up and all seems good... One of the support agents set up a very simple DNSBL blocking rule for the url - www.nba.com - we wanted to test to see the UI for pfBlocker would show the hits because it was not showing any hits prior and I got them to look...

      a few of the support agents helped me start to get results in the DNSBL ui - phishing and some ad blocking lists started showing hits... but many others remain zeroed...

      but the very simple rule for blocking www.nba.com - never showed any hits - no matter how I tried accessing it.. it DID block that site when it was active ( something is working ) ...

      but it never logged it in the UI. I tried dig / terminal / the browser ( safari )....

      Is there perhaps some bug in the -devel version that anyone knows of ?

      or how might you go about debugging or figuring on this issue?

      • thank you in advance...

        When I clicked on that link, I saw some Being Sport ( ? ) site using french (?)language, talking a lot about american basketball.
        I've already pfBlocker running, so most of the publicity was already stripped.

        I went here : Firewallp > fBlockerNG > DNSBL

        I entered nba.com under "Blacklists".

        I forced reloaded pfBlcokerNG-devel.

        Re visiting nba.com gave me :

        Does this count for a hit being showed to you ;)

        Btw : when you white- and blacklist, there are no Alerts ...

        does that explain your "never showed any hits - no matter how I tried accessing it" ?

        edit :

        I did find this :

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

          I think I figured it out...

          was using wifi DHCP and that was not letting the DNSBL stats to update properly - even tho firewall was blocking properly.

          So once I set the wifi to bridge mode - all started working as expected... basically bad config causing it.
