      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!

              My lists actually require a subscription… but nevertheless, here they are; username and password redacted:

                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

                  I changed them to gz_2 and forced an update; I'll give it some time and see what happens. Thanks!

                      Just out of curiosity - there shouldn't be anything related to configuration other than the lists that could affect the behavior, could there?

                      For what its worth - this is how mine is configured:

                            Whoops - I must have accidentally toggled it. Fixed right now; will monitor.

                              Hi McFuzz,

                              These are IBlock lists. And they are in a range format. You need to select "gz" format. There is a chart below the URL entry section to indicate what each "Format" is for.

                              I think the issue is with the "Ads" list. I will be doing some debugging today but try to toggle that list "off" and change all IBlock to "gz" then run a "Force Reload".

                              If you see a "-" in the widget there are issues with pfctl and it's not going to block anything.

                                I would also recommend removing the Bogon list and using pfSense built-in Bogon settings in the "Advanced Tab" of the GUI.

                                  Is it possible to use easy list (https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt) to block ads? I tried putting it in IPv4 Format: Text, List action Deny Inbound, but it doesn't seem to work. Also, When I do Force update it says Download FAIL.

                                    Hi McFuzz,

                                    Seems the issue is with IBlock posting the following IP for Blocking

                                    # List distributed by iblocklist.com

                                    doclix.com:0.0.0.0-0.0.0.0

                                    I have code to remove "0.0.0.0", but as this was in a range format, it was being converted to "0.0.0.0**/32**", so the existing code was removing the "0.0.0.0" but leaving behind  "/32". This would cause pfctl to not load properly.

                                    I see that IBlock has removed that entry in their Ads List. It should never have been there in the first place.  >:(

                                    I will post a fix to resolve this potential Issue.

                                    You can manually delete the old Ads Files.

                                    rm /var/db/pfblockerng/original/Ads*.* 
                                    

                                    then Re-enable the "Ads" List and then run a "Force Reload".

                                      Not currently. That is a Domain Blocklist. pfBlockerNG is an IP Based Blocking solution. pfBNG v2.0 will have this functionality.

                                          I have configured iBlock list under IPv4 to block in both directions I see the logs showing blocking however no updates for the widget, please see attached

                                          When you look at the System Logs: Firewall Logs in the GUI. Do these alerts have pfB_ in the Rule Column?
