      Hello,

      Sorry if this has been answered before, I have searched in vane…

      I have installed Pfblocker and added a block list to the Alias and have it enabled. It does not add any rules to the firewall therefore not working as far as I understand.

      Any help is greatly appreciated!

          Yes I have many NAT/firewall rules.

          The only clue I can find it this error:

          php: /pkg_mgr_install.php: No pfBlocker action during boot process.

          Of course I cant find any info on this error that is helpful…

          Ideas?

              Enable pfBlocker (check)
              Enabled Logging (check)
              Inbound Interface(s) WAN
              Inbound deny action - Block
              Outbound Interface(s) LAN (was WAN did not work)
              Outbound deny action Block

              I have tried changing all the settings… nothing.

                Did you configured any block list? spam or contry?

                CAn you see the aliases created?

                  Ok I got it…

                  I misunderstood, it said "CTRL + click to deselect" I thought that meant they were ALL selected already.

                  Now it's working.

                  Thanks!

                  One more thing, I'm using the spamd list: www.openbsd.org/spamd/traplist.gz for blocking IP's. Is this OK or do you suggest something else?

                  Also now I'm getting all these logs in the firewall, is this normal?
                  pf: 00:00:00.034222 rule 1/0(match): block in on vr0: (tos 0x0, ttl 52, id 2411, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 58)

                    Yes if you select log option on pfblocker
