Currently DNS Blacklist is not available for 2.0. I spoke to xa0z, (one of the package developers) a few days ago and he said he wasn't sure if there would be an update for 2.0 but he was considering it.
I like the package and would like to see it continue but in the mean time I have started using SquidGuard as an alternative. So far it has been working pretty well, it takes a bit more time to configure but it's much more versatile.

Thanks, good to know. I'll be looking into it.

Just installed squidguard and enabled the blacklists. How up to date are they? Are they updated on a regular basis?

It depends which blacklist you are using, most of them are updated quite frequently.
SquidGuard has a list of several on their site. URLBlacklist.com has a list the updates very often.

You are a life saver. I was using the default. Thanks for the link to those.

One more thing. Can this thing auto update its lists or would I have to setup a cron job to download, extract, and restart the service?

Currently there is no auto update feature so you would need a script to take care of it. Check out the link below for a sample script, you could probably write a much simpler one to do the job though.

Hi,
I am new to PfSense, I tried using DNS Blacklist and tried to block, Adult Porn and Online Gaming but I beleive it blocks all sites, if I try accessing any site it redirects to Google. For eg I tried indiatimes.com; yahoo.co; rediff.com and our Company website but it all gets redirected to Google, not sure if I am going wrong somewhere or do I need to work on the scripts.I have the same issue.
I also have the same issue and even if I uninstall the dns blacklist the DNS redirector is jacked up now and no dns redirection works.
me too….. :(
please help….
