Is pfBlockerNG 3.2.0_16 functioning ok on 24.11?
-
Wanted to get some feedback from folks before I upgrade to 24.11.
Is the latest pfBlockerNG 3.2.0_16 functioning ok on 24.11?
I moved away from Devel to Stable 6 months ago or so and see that the version hasn’t changed much with the release of 24.11.
Just want to be sure I can expect all to function ok before I upgrade.
@BBcan177 can we expect a stable release of 3.2.1_20 perhaps or am I good to go?
Thanks in advance. -
On my little SG1100 upgrading to 24.11 lead to locking up the device because of extreme CPU usage. Only after getting rid of pfblocker I was able to get the unit to work properly again. The exact same pfb setup ran totally fine on 24.3. Now I'm in a catch-22 situation as the old pfb settings are still on the box and get activated when re-installing pfb leading to the lockup again. No idea how to start fresh with a clean pfblocker setup now.
I can not run pfb with my old setup at all anymore.
Hence this question:

pfBlockerng - any version - when installed, doesn't do much.
A SG1100 doesn't have a lot of RAM, and pfBlockerng can use a lot of RAM, all depends and what you've added after installing : some small DNSBL (IP) files (feeds) will be handled just fine, but the bigger ones will will create problems. -
@Gertjan My main point is that 24.11 is not able to run the same setup that 24.3 had no issues with on an SG1100. I have rolled back to 24.3 and all is fine. 24.11 isn't able to run even a fraction of the feeds that 24.3 is able to. If you're on a small SG1100 I'd stay away from 24.11 for now.
