PfBlockerNG

 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.

 BBcan you the man. That fixes them thanks. GZ_2 format. Maybe next update it can be smarter and know what to choose :p

 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!

 go to the update tab and view log .. send it here Oh and send your list links here also please so I can try and see if that is problem too

 My lists actually require a subscription… but nevertheless, here they are; username and password redacted: http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=rynxmrknfjysesjtjlxy&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz&username=yyyyyy&pin=xxxxxxx

 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! 
- 
 Hit the thanks button for me please. Hope that works for you

 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:

 For what its worth - this is how mine is configured: On an unrelated note: WAN is not an outbound interface.

For what its worth - this is how mine is configured: Except the LAN should be the outbound normally Looks ok to me, maybe tomorrow about 11pm EST I can help with teamviewer if you don't have right by then

 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.

 Obviously the lists have loaded fine and firewall rules have been made as well but… what am I missing here? 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". 
- 
 Is it possible to use easy list 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

 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? 
- 
 no I don't but i see the IP being blocked in both the pfblockerNG:Alerts and the Firewall Log
