pfBlockerNG: Custom Black List - Failed to open stream: No such file or directory

nasheayahu

sourceforge.net is default defined in my DNSBL Whitelist as;

.sourceforge.net

and during updates or reloads it keeps adding;

gnaughty.sourceforge.net
pornview.sourceforge.net
dfilemanger.sourceforge.net

I have certain distro's like MX Linus that still uses the site for downloads. I created my own custom blacklist name and located at,

/var/db/pfblockerng/sourceforge.txt

in DNSBL Groups Summary, to block these URL's but I keep getting,

[ sourceforge_net ]		 Downloading update [ 05/17/25 19:26:44 ] .
[ sourceforge_net ] file_get_contents(/var/db/pfblockerng/sourceforge.txt): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory


 [ DNSBL_sourceforge_net - sourceforge_net ] Download FAIL
   Local File Failure

the permission are defined as.

-rw-rw-r-T 1 root root 49 May 17 18:37 sourceforge.txt

I'm guessing its the permissions, if so, what permissions need to be defined or what else could be the problem?

Evening, will this be fix anytime soon or the next release? Also, is there an alternative to blocking these sights with .sourceforge.net defined in the whitelist?

Not sure what the "T" here means :

My advise : ge rid of it.

I've created my own DNSBL file :

google.com
microsoft.com
facebook.com
amazonaws.com
apple.com

Here it is :

[25.03-BETA][root@pfSense.bhf.tld]/var/db/pfblockerng: cat pfbalexawhitelist.txt
google.com
microsoft.com
facebook.com
amazonaws.com
apple.com

My pfBlockerng-devel setup

and before you re try reload (again) your file, check /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsblorig/ and /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/ and delete files with the same Header/Label name - in my case ALEX.orig

Now, reload DNSBL again.

It will work :

That said, I'm using pfBlocker-devel :

which means I don't have old bugs. Only new ones ^^
