      Hi, just installing new appliances but one of them has NO outside access.
      I would like to manually update the different lists.
      Any documentation/how to available?
      How can I disable the automatic updates?
      Thanks

        When you install the package, it downloads the latest MaxMind GeoIP files. Those are updated the first Tuesday of each month. You will need to download those files as required. In the General tab, click the checkbox to disable the cron download of the MaxMind files.

        MaxMind files are saved in:  /usr/pbi/pfblockerng-amd64/share/GeoIP    (amd64 or i386) (You will need to extract these files into that folder)

        http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
        http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPv6.dat.gz

        http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPv6.csv.gz
        http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPCountryCSV.zip

        Followed by executing these two commands to convert the MaxMind files for pfBNG:
        php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php gc
        php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php uc

        In the IPv4/v6/DNSBL Feeds tabs, you can enter a local address in the "Source Fields".

        Hope that gets you started!
