@yorke pfBlocker doesn't look at the contents of the packets, just the FQDNS and https packets will be encrypted.

So it's a no.

@gertjan said in CRON stall when reloading UNBOUND:

Live Sync means that pfBlockerNG3 loads unbound with flat DNSBL files.

When enabled, updates to the DNS Resolver DNSBL database will be performed Live without reloading the Resolver.

During Cron Updates, it will update Unbound with only changes using unbound-control, so no interruption and no memory shortage. However Unbound Restart/Reload will check the *.conf files then load all *.conf into it's db, draining memory.

From any GeoIP tab : Click here for IMPORTANT info --> What's new in GeoIP2

Cool, so far I don't see what's wrong. Do you ?

I had a chat with MaxMind support and one thing jumped at me "it looks like the "registered country" for that IP address range is Germany. I'm wondering if pfSense is looking at that instead of the "country""

That's interesting

It'd be good to have a NordVPN and GeoIP user here to confirm this....

How does permit outbound actually works ? (Need to think about it)

That may contain some answers : https://docs.netgate.com/

I am sure it does ! 😃

Is Permit Outbound default setting for white lists ?

Normally, I don't block TLD's as it needs 'huge' quantity of resources.
But ok, let's test :

I tried blocking the tld "today" :

dfaf9bb0-5f17-4176-bdad-c7b2b0fc5fcd-image.png

A test :

C:\Users\Gauche>nslookup 1618250475.site.goapp.today Serveur : pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net Address: 2001:470:1f13:5c0:2::1 Nom : 1618250475.site.goapp.today Address: 10.10.10.1

Which means :

1f43da52-b94a-4dfc-a72e-ca841ad3ed91-image.png

Btw : i's very rare to see this "black screen", as no one is (should not) using http:// any more.

@ronpfs
Disabling the package prior updating did the job.

@BBcan177
I had to do a clean install of pfSense to make python mode work. Not sure why. It was a two year old working configuration with multiple updates and never had an issue.

Now with python mode can I let go of unbound dns now or still need to use it? I have an internal well configured BIND dns which I would like to use instead of unbound.

@bbcan177

Thank you for being so fast in fixing this and the great work you are doing with pfBlockerNG!

With the modifications all is working well :).

@rtw915 said in More frequent CRON interval options:

I am still stuck on this. Under the CRON jobs I tried to edit this from this:

0 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php cron >> /var/log/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.log 2>&1

to this:

*/15 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php cron >> /var/log/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.log 2>&1

However, the Updates tab in pfBlockerNG says that the CRON job is missing, and then deletes the job and creates a new one with the hourly update interval.

So this does not work

You should not change these cron entries.
They are set and maintained by the pfblockerng package.

Download an updated script for ASN processing and see how that goes.

curl -o /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.sh "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/BBcan177/3aabea5edf7b40554d93085bff380b6f/raw"

Hi, I've replaced the file you suggested, however, it still seems to be leaving these files alone & /tmp is still filling up.

I can confirm this.
Update: Still present in v3.0.0_16
(I added a cron-job: rm /tmp/pfbt* )

I'd just reinstall if you think you have the 'Save Settings' checkbox marked. You could always just build fresh and restore the config, too.

@tzvia Thank you! I should have thought about adding in-addr.arpa to domain overrides. I added one for each 24-bit subnet, and that did the job.
