pfBlockerNG - add ability to force download of a list
0%
Description
At the moment, there's no way through the GUI to force a re-download of a particular list. The only way to do it is to execute a shell command to delete the downloaded file in /var/db/pfblockerng/original, and then run a force reload.
Would it be possible to add an icon against each list in the IPv4 and IPv6 tabs to force download the lists?
If it's easier, a global "force re-download" option would do instead, though obviously it would then download everything rather than just the list the user wants to refresh, which would take a while.
Many thanks.

Goto the "Log Browser" Tab and view the Feed in the "Deny" folder... There is a delete Icon there...

OK, got it. I don't think I would have found it had you not pointed me to it - but that's what I was looking for, thank you.

Hi - would it be possible to revisit this please? The issue with the method proposed above is that, for a long list, you have to wait for the log window to populate. That can literally take 5 minutes or more for a long list (and for really long lists has a habit of hanging the browser, at least in Firefox anyway).
It would be really handy if there was a "force download" option somewhere in pfBlockerNG to make it easy to refresh a particular list.
Thanks.
