3.1.0_6 UPDATE
-
@jmv43-0 It is, which is why I just posted that. I noticed it as an available upgrade in Package Manager on my 6100 running 22.05+. Plus he already said it would be coming out this week.
-
pfBlocker-NG 3.1.0_7 and acme 0.7.3 as today they are available for 22.05 I updated in time and all is fine since
the update. Look at the numbers now;

I guess that's expected behavior
More or less...I seem to recall a post from BBCan177 a while back, saying it was a bug in pfSense's package system, so he can't fix it.

@turker Do a force reload and restart the pfBlocker services.

@cloudified
i do Force reload pfBlocker services and restarted, pfsense restarted. Nothing changed. -
@turker are you getting any table memory errors? That might indicate that you need to increase your Firewall Maximum Table Entries in the System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT section. I had to increase mine from 400,000 to 1,000,000 to account for all of the pfBlocker lists I have configured.

@cloudified
@turkerDid you manually create firewall rules for those aliases or did it create them automatically? Check your firewall rules and see if those aliases still appear in your firewall rules, if they do, delete those firewall rules.
I've seen cases where I created rules with aliases in pfBlocker but didn't delete them and they would still show up in that table, like you are showing.

I think you meant to reply to @turker.

@cloudified
Yeah, I just saw that and edited my post. Thanks! -

One other comment, there has been a lot of discussion in numerous posts on this forum as to what value, Firewall Maximum Table Entries should be. They are several cases where folks have used anywhere from 400,000 to 10,000,000. I think most consider 2,000,000 to be a good number to use but it seems to vary depending on each users system, memory and which/how many lists folks choose to use. I just checked my system and I have 4,000,000, why, I don't know, it works so I don't plan to change it.
As far as the default value, that bug/error has been around since day one with this package, even before BBcan177, took over as the maintainer, if remember correctly. I think the pfSense/Netgate/maintainer GODS think it is a low priority fix and have ignored it all these years.

No. -
The problem may be caused by me.
Rule 5 seems to be assigned to the interface but i have 4 interfaces. I deleted one.
Looks like it was assigned to the deleted interface.

In my case I was getting the error because the default size of 400,000 on my 6100 was not enough for the lists I have configured. The error went away after increasing it to 1,000,000.

A few years ago I documented that BBcan177 posted to double the default, with a minimum of 2 million. It of course depends on the number of entries used and the RAM installed. In theory someone could just use one small list and not need very many at all. Others "block the world" and use quite a lot.
It would be nice if the package checked that setting upon install and showed a warning somewhere.

The Firewall Maximum Table Entries setting is a pfSense setting...it has nothing to do with the pfBlocker package. Other than, pfB creates table entries. I don't recall when the bug showed up but I noticed it a year or two ago, whenever I made the report. If you think it's been longer I'll just believe you. :) I didn't have any old routers to check...we keep our clients pretty current.
Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
Upvote 👍 helpful posts! -
@steveits Totally agree. It was be really nice if pfBlocker checked your current table size setting when a list update goes above the threshold.

You are correct, too damn many pf...... in pfSense/packages.

@keyser said in 3.1.0_6 UPDATE:
Rumors have it that it is Netgate that maintains this package now
FYI Netgate has a list: https://www.netgate.com/supported-pfsense-plus-packages
-
Note that pfBlockerNG and pfBlockerNG-devel are NOT the same package and are on different development tracks.
pfBlockerNG-devel will eventually replace pfBlockerNG but for now they're separate.
