We do, though technically we're using a different method to get that
list. Unfortunately, for a Google search for "dshield feed pfSense" it's the
first result, and there are plenty of other pages referencing the other lists.
I had found the top10-2 list is outdated, but I don't recall where now. I had
realized the other method we use wasn't updating and thought it was me but it
was pulling old Bluetack lists from I-Blocklist, and those lists still exist
online also but also stopped updating a while back...apparently Bluetack closed
or something.
Anyway it's confusing for newbies if one never sees the list update,
and bad if someone thinks they have a working list and aren't protected at all
after it is months or years old.
Why they wouldn't set up a redirect for
http://feeds.dshield.org/top10-2.txt to http://feeds.dshield.org/block.txt, or
take the old list down, is beyond me.
Also note the list is available at https://www.dshield.org/block.txt
and https://secure.dshield.org/block.txt either of which are probably better
to use/list since they use HTTPS.
