      All,

      I have been trying to find more details on what I need to do to setup lists in pfBlocker, but have not found anything.

      What is the best lists and best way to do the setup on them.

      Also, I am seeming to have issues with my pfBlocker too.

      On the dashboard I am showing Europe, NorthAmerica and Oceania with a read down arrow, but everything else is showing a green up arrow.     Is this a problem?

      There is a constant scrolling at the top saying the following:

      Acknowledge all

      [filter_load] There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:25:  cannot define table pfBlockerEurope:   Cannot allocate memory/tmp/rules.debug:27:  cannot define table pfBlockerNorthAmerica: Cannot allocate memorypfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded   The line in question reads [25]: table <pfblockereurope>persist file /var/db/aliastables/pfblockerEurope.txt

      It just keeps scrolling

      I have even uninstalled and restarted pfSense, then reinstalled pfBlocker, but get these same errors.

      What am I missing here?

      For each tab I have selected everything:

      Top Spammers - Deny Both
      Africa - Deny Both
      Asia - Deny Both
      Europe - Deny Inbound
      North America - Deny Inbound
      Oceania - Deny Inbound
      South America - Deny Both

      Nothing is setup for XMLRPC Sync

      Did I setup something wrong here?

      Thank you for your help.</pfblockereurope>

        No one have a clue on what I am asking?

        Searching doesn't show the right thing, but then again I may not have the search correct.

        If anyone can point me in the right way, then hopefully I can finish this out  :)

        Thank you!

            Increase "Firewall Maximum Table Entries" on system-> advanced settings.

            You may need to disable pfblocker and click on Acknowledge all before increasing this system value.

              So what does it mean on the dashboard I have pfBlocker show up

              In the status it shows a green up arrow and a red down arrow?

              I also see the packers for the red down arrow ones do not show anything where the ones with the green up arrows do show some packets.

              Thank you for the help

              Rob

                arrow green, alias loaded and applied to rules.
                arrow red, alias not loaded or no rule assigned to that alias.

                  Strange, if I do Deny inbound it shows red, but if I deny both it shows as green.

                  I did not make any other changes to make the others green.

                    If you have no rules on wan interface, pfblocker will not create a rule as you already has an deny all traffic rule.
