Any way around mobile screen width issue?

Any way around mobile screen width issue?

I’m trying to edit a custom dnsbl group from my mobile device, however, the blocklist table format is too wide for the enclosing view and I cannot scroll to the right to expose the edit button control.

Is there any way around this without a laptop?

Probably need to upgrade my pfSense box

I have a SuperMicro box from around 2010, an X7SPA-HF-D525. I believe this has an Atom D525 Processor (1.8GHz). I upgraded the RAM, I believe to 4GB, which is the max. I recently enabled pfBlocker and noticed webpages will take a long time to load. It is getting pretty frustrating. I am thinking I need to probably look into getting a new appliance for pfSense. I was needing at least 4 ports.

What appliance or hardware would you guys recommend for a small space where a tower or regular sized computer wouldn't fit.

Do Redirected DNS Look-Ups Get Filtered By pfBlockerNG?

I am redirecting DNS look ups to external servers back to my pfSense instance, 127.0.0.1. My question is, do these redirected DNS look-ups bypass pfBlocker as they're being sent directly to Unbound , or get captured and filtered by pfBlocker?

Purge Shallalist via command line (well execute command via GUI)?

So I realize I'm getting around to this late with Shallalist being long dead. Shallalist did not appear in the GUI for DNSBL Categories: Blacklist perhaps it was finally removed but I have a ghost. It is still trying and failing to load on every update. I tried executing the following commands one line at a time through the GUI Execute Shell Commands:

rm -rf /var/db/pfblockerng/shallalist
rm -rf /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsblorig/*shallalist*
rm -rf /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/*shallalist*
rm -rf /var/db/pfblockerng/mastercat
rm -rf /var/db/pfblockerng/masterfile

Force Reload All:pfBlockerNG/Update/Reload/All: still trying to reload shallalist so then I executed the commands:

rm -f /var/db/pfblockerng/shallalist*
rm -rf /var/db/pfblockerng/original/shalla*

Force Reload All:pfBlockerNG/Update/Reload/All: and shallalist is still attempting to load just with a bunch of local file failures.

I have not SSH'd in and poke around to see how much of that was actually necessary. Or what remains but it seems like it might come to that. What is the filepath to the Blacklist database file? Any ideas/pointing in the right direction?
