      24.11, ran the Packages - recommended package update.
      Now getting error - py_error.log:
      [pfBlockerNG]: Failed to open MaxMind DB: Error opening database file (/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb) Is this a valid MaxMind DB file?

        I have that file indeed :

        You've created, checked and set up your MaxMind inscription ?

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

          @Gertjan thank you for the help! I went to the file location from your screen capture, and I also have this file with this title:
          Untitled.jpg

          I am wondering how to replace, or renew this file, thinking it may be corrupted.

            You use the GUI to show files - you don't see enough, like the file creation date.
            That said, your file, and mine, have the same size, so I guess it's ok.

            If you think the issue is soved, don't forget to empty the py_error.log file; :

              @Gertjan Well, that is important to do; of course it is going to persist without deletion. I am going to do an update and see if it is fixed.

                @The-Party-of-Hell-No Well, this seemed to work! After the update, the error did not come back.
