[Solved] pfBlocker stable vs devel
-
Hi,
I need to setup pfBlocker and are a bit confused on which to chose. Some say the devel has many great features one should have, but at the same time, stability is not a bad thing. So what is the general option of which to chose?

pfBlockerNG-devel is the current stable version
pfBlockerNG is no longer updated -
@patch Oh! Thanks so much! Kind of a misleading name, but now I know. :)

Yes, the reason is was explained by the developer here
@bbcan177 said in pfBlockerNG block local DNS lookup:There is a monumental task to backtrack changes in pfBlockerNG-devel -> pfBlockerNG, its too much work and no time to do that on my own free time.
You have options:Stay with pfBlockerNG:
Enable "Suppression" in the general tab, that should remove any RFC1918 addresses that it finds. I am not 100% sure if that covers DNSBL IP tho, would have to test it.
Use Alias Type Action settings if none of the pre-defined Auto-Rule ordering works for your needs.Move to pfBlockerNG-devel:
Which is what I recommend
It is being actively supported and developed.
I try my best to address any issues as they are found. -
@patch This is great, thank you!
