23.05.01 easylist not in dashboard widget [edit: not loading at all]
-
Hi all,
pfBlockerNG-devel 3.2.0_6 on Netgate SG-1100. IP works, DNSBL works. But:
DNSBL EasyList feed doesn't get listed in the dashboard widget.
Steps:- enable Ads (or any other) feed and force reload
- shows in dashboard widget
- enable EasyList and disable Ads (or whatever lists you have) - force reload
- check dashboard widget: still showing Ads_Basic, not EasyList. And it's showing the Ads count too.
I can repeat this using other DNSBL feeds, such as Ads_Basic or Malicious, remove them until only EasyList is left enabled and the widget will always show the previous list, e.g. the list that was loaded before EasyList, not EasyList itself.
- When I try to provoke blocks by browsing sites such as google or other sites that I am 100% sure have blockable content, the blocked counter doesn't go up, so the list doesn't work.
- As soon as I load one of the other lists, the counter goes up immediately.
I reinstalled pfBlocker (keep settings enabled) just to see what would happen. I got the following errors at package install. Especially the python error seems troubling, but I'm not sure if these are bad.

I didn't took a screen shot of the situation before. After adding Easylist (the first one, at the top of the feeds list) I saw this :

The "better safe then sorry test :
Download the list manually to look at its format, size, download speed etc :
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist_noelemhide.txt
Ok, its a small list. Strange format, though :
.... -ad-sidebar- ....edit : re installing a package rarely (if ever) repairs a situation.
The package, a file, is downloaded over a secure connection.
Is encrypted/encoded with hash keys etc. So, bits can flip randomly during transport.
If the installer (a FreeBSD core program) finds errors during writing the files in the correct place, it will bark.
For me, this is a 99,9999 % save, with known result, situation.
Where things go bad :@Cabledude said in 23.05.01 easylist not in dashboard widget [edit: not loading at all]:
(keep settings enabled)
If the software (the "program") on our system, like mine and your, is the same .... our local setting are never the same.
That is where, for 99,999 %, are the issues

@Gertjan
Thanks a lot for your efforts (and your time!) testing the easylist. I agree 99,999% the issue is settings (or pebcak). I simply switched from unbound to python mode, left all python specific settings at their defaults.
Just got home from a long day at work, will look up the pfblocker DNSBL manpages and try to sort it out. -

Why ? You switched to "all wifi" ?

Not quite. The reason for needing a forum name change is rather the utter stupidity, killing embarrassment and perpetual shame after this beginner's mistake.
It's similar to this guy who forgot to plug in his IBM computer in a classic dutch IBM TV commercial. -
I was using M0n0wall in the past, as it offered a 'captive portal' and I was looking for some answers.
I've used my IRL first name to create an account here, just to ask some question.
I had my answers quickly, from what I recall, my questions were just "wrong", and I've installed pfSense.
Still using it today.edit : forgot about the most important one : I'm still learning.
