Patch

I recently did a default installed pfBlockerNG-devel. I think it was 3.1.0_2 on pfsense v2.5.2. I have since updated pfBlockerNG-devel to v3.1.0_4

For some time I have been getting the following error in the pfBlockerNG-devel widget
[ pfB_PRI1_v4 - Abuse_IPBL_v4 ] Download FAIL

Looking into it today I think this relates to the feed

However the Ransomware Tracker was apparently discontinued on Dec 8th, 2019

So my questions are

Did I do something wrong with the installation?
Should this be replaced with another feed?

pfBlockerng-devel, by itself, does nothing.
True, on the Firewall > pfBlockerNG > Feeds page it shows sources that could consider using.
pfBlockerng-devel has no affiliation with them (exception : the PRI5 BBcan177 feed maybe).

You should assure yourself that these sources do what you want, and that they (still) exist.
Most of them are created and maintained by a person or small group of persons, and as such, these feeds come, and go.

Btw : it has been seen that sources (feeds) included their own IP and/or host name as a DNSBL ^^
