            Given the increase in traffic in this thread I thought it was released, but according to the package manager in the GUI it is not there yet; lots of hackers here then  ;D

              It is released and available on pfSense 2.2 only.

                Apologies ahead of time if this was already mentioned in the thread - it's late, and I just spent a couple of hours restoring from a botched 2.1.5->2.2 upgrade :(

                Anyway - I just did a clean install of 2.2 and used a backed up config.xml to restore all my settings. In 2.1.5, I had pfBlocker installed with a few lists and once 2.2 was installed, I noticed that pfBlocker was no-mo and instead, pfBlockerNG was available.

                Unfortunately, most of the pfBlocker XML data was loaded but since there was no package available, it was all broken; pfBlockerNG thought pfBlocker was installed but after I manually cleaned up config.xml of any mention of the old package, it seems pfBlockerNG started working.

                I did not wipe any rules/lists in config.xml as far as I can tell… I was hoping that the new pfBlockerNG package would automagically import everything... alas, that is not the case.

                So my question is, any idea how to get pfBlockerNG to 'pick up' the old settings and just automagically work? There's a whole lot more options in the new package than there were before...

                Thanks :)

                  There is no way to import configuration from the old pfBlocker. And frankly don't think it's ever gonna happen.

                      No, really, it's for 2.2 only?

                      I'm on 2.1.5, and plan to stay there for quite some time. I was looking forward to this package tremendelously, even back last year when BB tried to help me become a beta tester for it.

                      I'm a little bit like the attached pic now  :'(

                        I am attempting to use the IP Lists from https://blocklist.sigmaprojects.org/, but each time it goes to update, I am receiving an error:

                          In the IPv4 Tab, when you create the Alias, ensure that there are no Spaces, International or Special Characters in the Header Name field.

                            Thank you for the help.  I have updated the Alias with these instructions but still receive the same error.  The Header field is blank for each of the lists.  Does something needed to be added to the Header field to make it work?

                              Enter a name for the header like: sigma-anti-infringement, sigma-webexploit, sigma-dshield

                              
                              'Header' : The 'Header' Field must be Unique, it will name the List File and it will be referenced in the pfBlockerNG Widget. Use a Unique Prefix per 'Alias Category' followed by a unique descriptor for each List.

                                  If the lists are gz format and in CIDR format, you need to select "gz_2".

                                  However, these are not the best lists to use. It's best to use lists from the original provider.

                                      Hi all,

                                      So I got around to mimicking the setup i had in pfBlocker; I added all the lists and configured everything based on the way things used to be. However, my status widget just looks like this after a few hours:

                                      With the old setup, I'd be able to see all the blocked packets. In pfBlocker, I had it set as deny inbound and WAN as both inbound/outbound interface…

                                      Obviously the lists have loaded fine and firewall rules have been made as well but... what am I missing here?

                                      Thanks!

                                            I seen failed download in the beginning of your log. You can fix that by putting type of url in list to gz_2

                                            and I had similar issue that was fixed by reinstalling the package

                                            force a reload before doing that though
