Description

The Shalla Services blocklist went offline permanently in January 2022. It's still available as a list option in the pfSense GUI (Firewall > PfBlockerNG > DNSBL > DNSBL Category) but of course pfBlocker can't download it.

This still affects 23.09.1 and 24.03's builds of pfBlockerNG as of today. This source should be removed as soon as possible from the available sources list. It continues to cause user confusion.

Kris we know what the issue is but how does it get cleaned up?
Seems like something someone internal can push the maintainer for instead of updating the notes every few months that the problem is present.

Bumping this redmine again to the top. Testing on both 25.07 and 24.11 both have this issue still present.

Pretty confident the maintainer is either not seeing these redmines tickets or is no longer maintaining this package…I’ll see what I can do to start working on this package now and do some cleanup.
