PfBlocker trouble with aliases

[R0thbard]

Relevant Information:
2.1-RELEASE (i386)
Atom D2500 1.86
2GB RAM
pfBlocker 1.0.2

I'm running this in a home environment and trying to use blocklists from a paid subscription to I-BlockList to block malware, ads, and porn. I add the blocklists under the 'Lists' section of the pfBlocker submenu. After I do this, I cannot find where to add it as a firewall rule anywhere.

When I go to add a rule in the firewall that references the name of the alias (as set in pfBlocker) it says it can't find it.

Am I doing something stupid, or is this a bug?

The aliases are always prefixed with "pfBlocker"

@doktornotor:

The aliases are always prefixed with "pfBlocker"

I created a list entry (alias) in pfBlocker with the name 'AdsandTrackers'

When I insert that in the destination as a 'Single host or alias' it tells me it's not valid. I appended 'pfBlocker' at the beginning in the firewall rule entry, and got the same result.

Does anyone else run this on 2.1? I can't find any instructions or documentation for the less bright among us. Maybe if I can figure this out I'll write something up.

I did find one slight problem. It appears the lists from iblocklist.com do not have line breaks.

This is strange to me because the site was referenced by pfBlocker as a good place to get lists.

PREfixed != appended. And iblocklists work just fine, P2P/gz format.
