      Hi,

      The dnsbl.log file seems to be only able to contain around 12 hours of data therefore the charts only show around 12 hours of data. Is there a way to increase the size of the log file so it retains more data? I've had a look but can't see where I can do that. As you can see below it's only showing 16 hours now but this machine has been running for months..

      Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks!

        @toofargone On the opening page of pfBlocker where you globally enable/disable it, there are settings below where you can decide how many lines it should save in each log-file before rotating. 20.000 lines are default. If that gives you 12 hours’ish, then try doing 400.000 lines. Should get you a week. But expect the reports page to take a LOOOONG time to open when you do that :-)

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)
