I recently update pfBlockerNG on my pfsense box and after login in several days after I have loads of messages saying: "pfBlockerNG ASN - To utilize the ASN functionality, you must register for a free IPinfo Account. Review IP Tab for more information." Once I register are they going to start collecting data every time pfSense querries their ASN database?

Ipinfo is a geodata DB as a service. You absolutely don't even need to use it, and it's completely unnecessary for the functioning of the tool itself.
