      Hi Guys,

      I'm new to pfsense and I managed to install and configure PfblockerNG successfully now I need to know is there any way to unblock certain external IP Addresses from the blocking

      I used DNSBL

        @tharinduudaya It's DNS, not by IP, but you can add the hostnames to the "DNSBL Whitelist" section.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          and read what is proposed.

              @steveits Hostname means device hostname right?

                Yep.

                Something like :

                a38c4590-721e-4004-8806-56f8f5eac2ff-image.png

                is a fully qualified host name.

                    The python module doesn't work with IPs.
                    It's under the DNSBL tab, not the IP tab :

                    The python module gets called by the Resolver unbound, you can see it as a plugin for the resolver.
                    The resolver resolves host names to IP addresses (amongst others).

                    You can white list host names of coutse.
