#FriendlyReminder for people using #pfBlockerNG on #pfSense / #OPNsense or any other #FreeBSD-based #Firewall|ing-#distro:
Clean up ´´´/var/log/pfblockerng´´´ regularly, or else it'll fill up with disrespectful quickness depending on your setup.
@weirdwriter can you please make it compatible for pfsense with #pfblockerng , thx
#pfBlockerNG may support "adblock-style" filterlists

Can't confirm this yet but maybe #YouTube doesn't go after #Business #Internet users with static IPs assigned to them because they know they won't tolerate #AdblockerBlockers since they are common in every "#Cybersecurity Solution" on the market!
I myself use #pfBlockerNG, #uBlockOrigin and #SponsorBlock on all networks / devices and their site works to this day...

@kuketzblog Als #Alternative ist auch #pfBlockerNG zu benennen wenn bereits #pfSense / #OPNsense genutzt wird.
Wichtig dabei ist die Nutzung der richtigen #DNS Server...

@da_667 well, #pfBlockerNG allows you to free up that @Raspberry_Pi and just use the #pfSense for that...
I've been using that for 3+ years now and it just works!
@pixelfed I assume that in the end we'll get the same #plaintext #blocklists that everything from #AdAway to #PiHole & #pfBlockerNG already uses...

Maybe even support #TSVs with multiple collumns so people get some reasons displayed and/or granular blocking options to be integrated
@ariadne That could be integrated however, and the blocklist linked is for entire domains, so #Firewalling works...
But yeah I think these should be integrated and I'm convinced admins like @stux would prefer a smooth "setup & forget" option similar to #pfBlockerNG being integrated natively in #ActivityPub server software...
Cuz that works very well in almost all cases:

@Vivaldi Warum soll ich "yet another #Chromium" anstelle von @mozilla #Firefox bzw. @torproject #TorBrowser nutzen?

#NoScript, #YesScript, #UblockOrigin und #pfBlockerNG auf meiner #pfSense machen das gleiche mit wesentlich weniger #bloat.
@stux I use #pfBlockerNG & #uBlockOrigin in combination...
If you want to go #GalaxyBrain, think about using #SponsorBlock...
@kuketzblog +9001%
Ohne #pfBlockerNG, #uBlockOrigin & #AdAway sowie #NoScript & #YesScript inkl. #JavaScript auf reines #Allowlisting beschränkt ist das #Internet unbenutzbar.
Ich blockiere aus Prinzip alle #Cookies & #Popups sowie #Werbung, denn dafür ist mir mein Traffic zu schade!
One of the things I like most about mastodon over the bird site is that I can follow links without #pfblockerNG (doing its job and) dropping the connections.
@neildarlow it really is.
I mostly tend to ignore attacks on ssh as they do not accept password login anyway.
Using OTP I could ignore the #wordpress attacks as well, if was'nt for the the cpu load. wp wastes to much energy shaking that login box or whatever.
I tried using #pfBlockerNG at first but the lists I found did not take much load off my Wordpress.
