pfblockerNG missing data in XML backup

pftdm007

Hello,

I just did a system backup and "audited" the xml file produced by the Diagnostics > Backup & Restore system menu, and ticked all options to include package settings, etc to the backup.

However when I look at the xml file I see almost all settings from pfblockerNG and DNSBL with the exception that NONE of what's inside of the misc IPv4 Custom_Lists fields are included in the backup file. Over the years I have created several IPV4 custom lists and manually added IP's and ASN numbers to these lists.

I noticed the same with the DNSBL Whitelist.

Is this normal?

The text listed in the box is are hex or bin64 encoded.

IPv4 Custom_Lists

Now you know how the info is 'hidden', look again ?
I didn't for it, as I don't have Custom_Lists.

Okay, there's a bunch of Alphanumeric characters between "suppression" tags, and I used a hex64 -> ASCII to convert and bingo! You're right! Good to know...

Same for the other IPV4 lists.

Thanks a lot @Gertjan !
