      just applied pfBlocker_import.php from post #600, thanks to BBcan177 and doktornotor and it went swimmingly well, aside form some failed downloads.

      here's the smattering in case someone else is having same issue

      I suppose this is or can be one time event based on availability of the host, curious if you guys see similar results.

      Anyway, Thanks for pfBlocker and especially keeping it up w pfBlockerNG, it's the first thing I setup after configuring my networks.<hat tip=""></hat>

        When you have issues downloading Feeds, first review the logs to ensure that its not being blocked by another list or the IDS if enabled. You can also load the URL in a browser to get more information. Feeds change URLs from time to time. Feeds also go down.

        Its important to donate to some of the Feeds that you rely on, as most do this as a Free service and everyone has bills to pay.

          ok, thanks man. After turning off those lists and forcing a cron the log looks a lot cleaner, except for BBC_GOZ and Feodo_BAD returning empty lists. I gotta tell ya, before I refreshed, the number of hits shown on the dashboard panel was in the thousands for a couple of the aliases. I am a happy camper now.

          I concur on donations to list maintainers. I gave a little something to another foss app I use to watch my cat door - zoneminder dvr. One year I was away for a couple weeks around xmas (I'm in a winter lattitude) and feline wasn't doing usual 40 round trips through door - I expected something, so I sent friend to check, sure enough it had got beat up by neighbour cat and was hiding in the basement. So free and open source software earned its keep again. Worthy of a few bucks.

          More than likely I'll contrib to pfSense as the little router is/has done a stellar job. I showed another friend my pfSense setup, he pays the subscrip for a Sonicwall, he was impressed with pfS functionality.

              Use the following URL for BBC. It incorporates all of their IP lists into one IP feed:
              http://osint.bambenekconsulting.com/feeds/c2-ipmasterlist.txt

              Follow that with a "Force Reload"

                I had one user complain about this a few months back, but couldn't figure out why its doing that. I suspect an issue with the browser or a conflict with another widget.

                What Browser are you using (Can you try a different browser)? and what widgets are enabled? Are you on 2.2.4? Full/Nano/Ramdisk installation? Do the other pfBNG widget settings work for you?

                  Works fine for me.  In past versions of pfSense I had issues with most of the widgets not saving their settings.  It improved in later releases.  I'm on 2.2.4 right now without issue.

                    To download from HE, you need to select the format as "html" or it will fail to download.

                    Disable this list for 24hrs as HE is denying access (rate-limiting) because you probably have this list attempting to download every hour using the wrong download format.

                    I came across this thread before attempting to make a new alias from HE data and made sure that HTML was selected before my first update and immediately received a 403 response. Just wondering if anyone else is using HE with any success.

                        I would love to keep it ticked. Alas, it keeps unticking itself.

                          Does the same on both Chrome and Safari on OS X (latest versions of each).

                          I have the following widgets on the homepage:

                          System Info, Interfaces, Services Status, Interface Statistics, Installed Packages, PFBlockerNG, Snort Alerts, Firewall Logs.

                          PFsense 2.2.4 full all other widgets seem to work fine.

                          Thanks

                          Rob

                            I have multiple forwarded ports in different aliases (some are tcp only and others are udp only).  Is it possible to specify multiple aliases in "Enable Custom Port"?

                            Thanks

                              You should use one of the Alias list actions and create and manage your own firewall rules using those.

                                Pfblocker inserts the rule swith the name withpfB_Top_v4. Can I simply clone this rule in Firewall>Rules and specify my own alias?
                                This way I can reuse the list created by pfblocker. Will this cause a problem with pfblockerng?

                                    When pfB_Top_v4 creates an Auto Firewall Rule, you can manually create another Rule and reference the same "pfB_Top_v4" table without issue…

                                      Yes. I attempted to do another update and same results, 403.
