      I just installed pfBlockerNG 3.2.13 for the first time. Following the wizard, I created the VIP as an IP Alias on the LAN. When selecting next, I get the loopback error.
      I am a beginner with all of this so any help is greatly appreciated.

        @Mike_P Create the virtual IP on the "Loopback" interface, not the "LAN" interface, and then you should be able to assign it to pfBlockerNG's DNSBL webserver via the setup wizard.

        You should also update pfBlockerNG to the most recent version, 3.2.13_4.
