(RESOLVED) pfblocker version: 3.1.0_8 pythonmod error

[mcury]

System: SG-3100 | Version: 22.05 | pfblocker version: 3.1.0_8

Edit: The problem below only happens when using the DNSBL Mode python. When using DNSBL mode unbound, it doesn't happen.

Installed this version and noticed that the reports tab is empty, tried to access www.googleadservices.com to confirm and still nothing in the reports tab. Although the site was blocked.

Checked the system logs and noticed that the python mode can't find the file dnsbl.log, but the file is there. Every time a block happens we can see the logs below being generated.

Dono if it matters, but your file rights are different.

Can you add a line to dnsbl.log :

[22.05-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.brit-hotel-fumel.net]/var/log/pfblockerng: echo 'DNSBL-python,Dec 13 10:00:11,kpu.samsungelectronics.com,192.168.1.34,Python,DNSBL_A,DNSBL_ADs_Basic,qqq.samsungelectronics.com,StevenBlack_ADs,+' >> dnsbl.log

and then check if it was added :

echo dnsbl.log

If not, stop all pfblockerng-devel activity.
Wipe all files in /var/log/pfblockerng/
Start pfBlockerng-devel

edit : I think I get it :
The first two lines :

drwxr-xr-x  2 root     wheel     512B Dec 12 19:56 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 root     wheel     1.0K Dec 12 19:30 ..

Your /var/log/pfblockerng/ directory is root owned.
An unbound user process has no right accessing it.

I've : see above.

Strange, as pfBlockerng-devel, when it installs, should take care of things correctly.
So, remove the package pfBlockerng-devel - then wipe the entire folder /var/log/pfblockerng/
Install pfBlockerng-devel - and check if :

drwxr-xr-x 2 unbound unbound 13B Dec 13 10:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 85B Dec 13 09:48 ..

The first line is your issue.
