      I think that this issue is fixed by installating a newer version but I can't find the "official" information (my searching skills on a Friday afternoon are pretty bad !)

      One of our customers has a PFSense 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 that cannot be updated because it's a NanoBSD version (or something like that, not sure why it can't be updated). PFSense shows "The system is on the latest version"

      I configured pfBlocker Devel 3.0.0_10 a few months ago and it seemed to work fine. It's configured to block social media sites by creating a Deny Alias using ASN. I then use this alias in a firewall rule, with a schedule and I target specific computers.

      It now seems like some of the ASN files are failing to download:

      Example (for Facebook ASN AS32934)
      [ AS32934_v4 ] Downloading update [ 05/20/21 16:01:35 ] .parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 7
      . completed ..
      Empty file, Adding '127.1.7.7' to avoid download failure.

      Is there a fix for this or do I need to update ? I can update, but I would have to reinstall the whole thing.

        Ok I found the answer for the upgrade problem:

          Follow-up:
          The upgrade didn't fix anything. However, I found out that if I write the ASNs in the IPv4 Custom_List, it works.
