        So I did some experimenting and some websites in my list are indeed blocked, but other websites are not blocked even though they are listed in the file /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/myblacklist.txt

        I'm not sure why this is happening.

          I added reddit.com to the DNSBL Custom_List of malicious and it worked, after pfBlocker run the usual update.
          Also I don't needed any firewallrules for that, because it is all dns based.

          Edit: I tried your list, problem seems to be that reddit.com is blocked, but not www.reddit.com.

            I temporarily disabled my feed and added reddit.com and www.reddit.com to the DNSBL Custom_List and the website (and others) is still not blocked. (Yes, I did a force update all)

            I have tried on different computers on the network and they can still access it.

            I have also tried on three different browsers.

            I am really confused why some sites are blocked while others are not.
