Shalla block list is offline but still available in pfBlocker
Added by Chris W over 1 year ago.

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.

Can we get this package cleaned up at least with the removal of the list.
Its causing confusion from users.
This is an issue on the pfSense Plus 23.09.X branch still.

Yes thats true
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.
