@bbcan177 Thank you so much for your work and dedication to this project and your pfBlockerNG package.

pfBlockerNG is what brings pfSense to the next level in my book :-)

@bbcan177 I logged in just to say THANK YOU to you and Ronaldo Botelho.

The issue fixed in his pull request was driving me nuts the last 6+ months as I could not figure out why I kept getting IPv6 addr log errors. Any changes I made to config files were wiped out on reboot, and it was a very frustrating experience to get hundreds of notifications every day for a non-issue.

I am very thankful to this community and its members who work tirelessly to improve IT Sec for everyone! Kudos to you both!

Looks like this :

isn't checked, right ?

The message "Clearing all DNSBL Feeds" is showed under one condition :

// When DNSBL is enabled and no Aliases are defined, or all Aliases are Disabled

as in that case there is nothing to do.

no, it is enable, I make a fresh install of pfsense pfSense-CE-2.5.2-RELEASE-amd64, than install the pfBlockerNG-devel version 3.1.0.

and get same error

i found the problem, I need to create this dnsbl group like this and it worked.

Any word on safe search allowing duckduckgo? It appears it doesn't work.

Hi
I have some challanges with pfBlockerNG on version 22.05.
I have 2 pfSense were i have a custom IPv4 source defination.
On one of my pfSense it does not update the entire list on my other it does.
They are sync the settings to eachother so it has the same configuration.
Any idea why this might go bad?
It seems that pfSense 1 is just stuck on some cache or some "obsolete" list

Do a Force reload, and look at what the log, at the bottom of the page, produces.
Even when I asked a

the files didn't get reloaded again :

Note : where I live, its December 7.
So, it might be possible that files on your two pfSense are not 100 % identical.
This behaviour is normal. List don't get reloaded every hours or so as this (xx thousands of pfBlockerng-devel are running out there) would destroy the web servers that hosts these files.

Btw : I've demanded to update my one and only DNSBL list Weekly, as these lists do not get updated massively every hour or day and I don't bother missing one or two.

ksh

@gertjan
My custom list needs to be adjusted more than once an hour :)

You didn't show what I've showed you.
The part with the dates and hour.

I've tricked my pfblockerng-devel by forcing it to download the lists again.
I've deleted all the files in /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsblorig/
Then I did a force reload.
It showed :

Yep.
Rookie mode : Delete them all - and sync pfblocker
Better be safe then sorry : copy them on a safe place and then delete them all, and sync pfblocker

Btw : Dec 7 13:03 3CX_ServerPublic_custom_v4 (your own list ?) seems recent enough.

Other lists : if they didn't changed, they won't get downloaded (I guess ?!)

ksh

@gertjan
I removed the list. And added it again. This works.
But if i go and add an IP to the list an run the job it doesn't get updated :/

There should be 1278 and 1276 in /var/db/aliastables/pfB_Allow_Hosting_Customers_v4.txt

I can also see that it seems like it doesn't get updated from when i create it to i update it.
But my 3CX_ServerPublic_custom_v4 seems to be updated everytime. This is an Alias Native. and not a list.

You posted (now) 11 hours ago. It's 08h00 AM here.

The last time that your file was downloaded, was :

@ksh said in pfBlockerNG-devel v3.1.0_0:

Dec 7 21:35 3CX_ServerPublic_custom_v4

That's also some 11 hours ago.
That file seems pretty up to date to me.

If you set pfBlockerng to do house hold tasks every hour :

and set your list ( I showed a DNSBL list here ) to be downloaded every hour :

then this file will ... should (?!) get downloaded every hour.

In your case, as you host this file yourself, that's ok, you' hitting your infrastructure.
I strongly advice you not to do this for any other feed/list that is on a host that you do not own.
