      I want to apply some rules in the floating so that certain applications do not block me but every time pfblockerng is updated they go to the end of the rules and they stop responding, how can I avoid this situation

          @oscar-pulgarin I know you can setup pfblocker to put rules in specific places/order. But I don't have much experience with doing that because I don't let pfblocker create rules. I use it to just manage aliases that I use in my own rules.

          Going to move this to the pfblocker section, because it seems more like a specific pfblocker thing vs just general firewall question.

            @johnpoz said in do not overlap pfblockerng rules:

            How is it to use Pfblockerng to manage aliases? what is it about?

              @oscar-pulgarin I just have pfblocker create native aliases, that I use in my firewall rules and port forwards.

              example

                pfBlocker has a setting for this which changes the order things are put in the rules.

                However, you could also set pfB to not be on the floating tab, and be per interface instead, then the floating rules you put in place will be processed first.
