Help with pfBlockerNG Whitelist Not Updating on pfSense"
-
Hello everyone,
I'm still new to pfSense and am managing a setup that was already equipped with pfBlockerNG version 2.2.5_25 running on pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3. I've been attempting to set up and configure a whitelist in pfBlockerNG to allow specific IP addresses, but despite following the setup processes, the changes don't seem to take effect as expected. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what I’ve done and the issues I’m encountering:
Configuration Overview:
General Setup: I accessed pfBlockerNG from the 'Firewall' menu and configured IPv4 list under the 'IP' tab, which is named "Whitelist." Action Settings: The action for this list is set to 'Permit Both' IP Source Definitions: I manually added the IP addresses to the whitelist. However, even after a forced update, the alias does not seem to update correctly with these IPs.(there's IP witch has been previoulsly addede witch works)
Configuration Steps:
I navigated through pfBlockerNG's settings to set up the IPs under 'IP > IPv4'. In the 'Log/File Browser', I confirmed that the file 'Whitelist_custom_v4.txt' does not contains the last IP address I add.I've struggled to find tutorials or guides that clearly explain how to configure and troubleshoot this setup, which has made the process challenging.
the expected results are not achieved, I'm unsure if I'm missing a step or if there's a synchronization issue with pfBlockerNG.
Could anyone offer guidance on how to ensure that the whitelist updates correctly and is reflected in the alias? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I continue to learn pfSense and pfBlockerNG.
Thank you in advance!

I'm having the same issue I believe, wondering if you found a solution?
For what its worth I think I found that if you check "Enable Domain/AS" it stops working with any ip addresses in the list.
