Thanks for the report, please add the following line to /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.sh

Add this line, before the existing Line # 346

emptyfiles # Call emptyfiles function

For a reference to that file:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/blob/devel/net/pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG/files/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.sh#L346

On another note, Its best to get the BlockLists from the orginal Source of the files...

See the following thread:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg488934#msg488934

I will add this the the next release...

Thanks. I'll try that edit.

I'm probably being slow, but I didn't follow your comment in relation to the original source of the blocklists. I thought I was getting them from the original sources. Have you seen something to suggest I'm not?

Hi Andrew,

"Occasionally, the content of the various lists means that one of the lists completely de-dupes out"
"pfB_Spyware_Ib"

From those two statements, it led me to believe that your using an IBlock Spyware list, and its getting dedup'd to the point where the file is empty. Just keep in mind, that quite a few IBlock lists are a "copy" of other lists. If you want to review your list, you could post in the forum, if you want some help with that.

Thanks. The edit to the pfblockerng.sh file seems to have worked - will report back if I have any issues.

Thanks for clarifying the point around the source of the lists. I'll amend the source of the lists.

This issue is fixed in: PR # 121 https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/121/files
