Hi, a few years ago I installed pfBlockerNG on my pfSense router. I currently have 2.8.1-RELEASE (amd64) running with pfBlockerNG 3.2.10 installed.

Under Firewall->pfBlockerNG->IP->IPv4 I have a WLAN_EGRESS list that I use to instruct the router to not route my traffic through my VPN so that I avoid my bank and email servers complaining that I'm using a VPN.

I try to use the ASN functionality but I may not understand how this works because my email provider ARUBA keeps sending me emails that suggest my account has been compromised. Plus, my SMTP server (smtps.aruba.it) will not allow connecting if I'm going through my VPN.

In my WLAN_EGRESS, I have a whois rule against "ifconfig.co" and when I visit this page, it indeed shows my ISP IP, which is what its meant to be doing. SO i thought I would create many rules, one for each ASN against Aruba, thinking it would allow me to circumvent the VPN when routing traffic to my Aruba IMAPS and SMPTS servers. But no luck.

I also keep getting messages from pfSense that say " pfBlockerNG ASN - To utilize the ASN functionality, you must register for a free IPinfo Account. Review IP Tab for more information. @ 2025-10-04 00:10:23" I believe I don't require such account to get this working do I?
