DNSBL Source list ?

cburbs

So I am going to start adding a few more IP & DNSLB lists.

At the same time I am going through the current list to verify all lists still exist, etc so I have removed some old ones which leads to another question.

Easylist - https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist_noelemhide.txt

How do I know if this list is getting updated/etc?

I noticed if I try and open it it's getting blocked from GeoIP does this mean it won't download correctly either?

Thanks

You geoip blocked a German IP network. Well, ok, why not.
That's a typical shoot in your own foot situation. My advise : don't (use geoip).
But don't feel bad about it. It has been seen before : people used that new great perfect DNSBL list and it contained the DNSBL (host names) of all the other DNSBL feeds ... guess what happened ? ;)

And what's next : you block (yourself !) the access to the Netgate upgrade servers ?
Microsoft upgrade servers ?

IMHO geoip isn't really useful these days. Most IPs are ok, but there to many false positives.
It's something from the past, when everybody knew who was who etc.
And the upcoming IPv6 will blast geoip to oblivion.

Ask your pfSense :

On the console :

curl https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist_noelemhide.txt

For me, in comes in just fine.

Or do a pfblockerng-devel force update and look at the resulting log on the screen.
