====== PFSense - pfBlockerNG - Install pfBlockerNG - Test ======

===== Testing from the command line =====

Normally, pinging a site will return the actual IP address for the site.

However, with pfBlockerNG properly setup you may instead see a reply of 10.10.10.1, which is the default **blocking** virtual IP address that DNSBL creates:

{{:pfsense:pfblockerng:pfsense_pfblockerng_dnsbl_ping_block.png?800|}}


For sites that are allowed to get through, their proper IP address will be returned by a ping instead of 10.10.10.1:

{{:pfsense:pfblockerng:pfsense_pfblockerng_dnsbl_ping_not_blocked.png?800|}}


The same goes for an nslookup query, which will also return a response of 10.10.10.1 for adverts:

{{:pfsense:pfblockerng:pfsense_pfblockerng_dnsbl_nslookup_block.png?800|}}

For sites that are allowed to get through, their proper IP address will be returned instead of 10.10.10.1.

{{:pfsense:pfblockerng:pfsense_pfblockerng_dnsbl_nslookup_not_blocked.png?800|}}
