Sorry clipped the line in the copy there. Actual warning is:

[16-Sep-2018 16:45:55 Europe/London] PHP Warning:  Illegal string offset 'rule' in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc on line 1146

This error looks to be triggering an unrequired config update:

Steve, Are you sure this is not from pfBlockerNG-devel?

https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/blob/devel/net/pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel/files/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc#L1146

The pfBlockerNG version doesn't have 'rule' at that line?
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/blob/devel/net/pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG/files/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc#L1146

I can make this change in both version to be safe.

Posted two PR to fix these issues and add other improvements.

https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/567
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/569

Note: It doesn't address the earlyshellcmd issue as I am not sure if that is a pfBlockerNG issue?

Sorry, you're right, this is the -devel package. I'd forgotten I'd installed that.

I agree the earlyshellcmd issue looks to be a problem with shellcmd not pfBlocker.
