          Remember : the dashboard doesn't give any details.
          Or, maybe one :

          The DNSBL service is running ? :

          What do you have here :

          d4783730-5633-41ba-b711-8001c82c1713-image.png

          and here :

          c210eafd-1e47-472a-97d8-8d8815f8179e-image.png

          and why do you think you need all these :

          1085fa06-9d71-487c-8169-4c7396613570-image.png

          the default :

          9c8f2e5f-76ce-43db-baad-16dc99c9b690-image.png
          is already perfect.

          And as always : go here :

          ed8aae45-69e5-443f-9e9a-a2a5a34bfeed-image.png

          and check (read ?!) the log files.
          Anything special ? If doubts, show us.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            @chris-doldolia Have you tried force update?

              @Gblenn Good morning,
              I did this instruction but it still did not work. The DNSBL is disabled.

                If you have enabled RAM disks for /tmp and /var (System->Advanced->Miscellaneous->RAM Disk Settings), the default sizes are small. The initial processing for DNSBLs could be running out of space causing it to abort.

                    @Gertjan I will try this again after working because I cannot perform any configuration because of the daily transactions in the branch. Thank you

                      Better safe then sorry.
                      But take from me - and check for yourself while you are doing the reload : no 'Internet' outages.
                      The DNS process (Unbound, the Resolver) will restart, so no DNS for a couple of seconds.

                      Btw : this is one of the reasons I set these :

                      0ad0edfa-f2b0-4585-85a1-a70093b8047c-image.png

                      to Weekly and not every 2 hours (so a force reload will 'auto' happens every 2 hours !!), which means you ant to wait to 'later' but later on it already happened xx times.
                      Most, if not all IP and DNSBL feeds aren't even updated every day anyway.

                      I also :

                      0d61bb77-c74a-431c-a9ac-b1adffb31083-image.png

                      so one a day, after midnight or so. Not the default xx times a day.

                          I missed that.
                          In that log there can be info related to any issues. Issues you're looking for.

                          Also - probably not related :

                          so delete for the moment :

                          and then delete the error message with :

                          edit :

                          Did you conclude that you didn't loose any Internet access while reloading ?
