      @Summer said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:

      is this supposed to work on a Netgate 3100?

      Yes, it does.
      Look :

      abbe150f-8d19-4a1a-9b2e-56c756e82b87-image.png

      You saw the Count : mine is 196,981 ? That means that that list has "196,981" entries, or host names or 196981 lines.
      Let me check :
      The file, as pfBlocker downloaded it : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts (download it yourself, and count the lines, and get the size - for me its about 6,6 Mbytes).

      pfBlocker transforms this file for its internal use : it's here : /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/StevenBlack_ADs.txt - now it's 11,4 Mbytes.

      The thing is : The GUI, and pfBlocker, uses 'PHP' to handle the file creation, handling, parsing.

      The error :

      PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122616096 bytes)
      Tells us that PHP (while executing 'something' in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc) tried to allocate (reserve) 134217728 (bytes) while PHP can only offer maximum 122616096 (bytes).
      That was a no-go.

      Fast solution : don't use very big feeds or lists.
      => How do you know what list/feed is to big ?

      Example :

      605251f6-06c2-4dca-9db5-a6f109be77e2-image.png

      You see the URL ?
      Open it in a browser, save the file and check ^^

      Next solution : To use big things, you need big equipment. Now you know why people use a Xenon Processor for their firewall, and install 16 Gbytes of ram, and fast, multiple SSD's.
      And test before you decide https://www.netgate.com/appliances - go to the right and don't stop before the end ;)
      Even the biggest Netgate appliance can have PHP out of memory errors, even with huge amounts of RAM, because the PHP process allocates just a part of the available RAM, not all the RAM.
      There will always be an upper ceiling.

      Btw : A Netgate 3100, isn't that a device with an ARM processor ?
      Do get a Intel Iron next time, even if you managed to download all these (many ?) feeds/lists, you'll be needing the horse power to process all these lists.
      One of the tasks is : put all the files together (yes !) and remove entries that are listed more then one.
      Remember : check the Firewall > pfBlockerNG > Update page, and do a manual force all update.
      You want this process to go as fast as possible

      Final solution : if pfBlockerng was written in native language, like 'C', then it would be a binary executable. Only then you will able to handle Gigabytes files or more.
      That is : if your download link, Internet connection, can support these type of files, as you have to download them also ...

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        @Gertjan thank you for sharing your experience, are you using pfBlockerNG or pfBlockerNG-devel?

        Actually I've setup an external solution that worked at first try:
        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/182369/pi-hole/4

        I've removed all packages, will try again the whole config.

        Thinking about resource usage it could be a good solution to keep filter host outside the SG3100 :

          @Summer

          is your 3100 a base 8GB or the upgraded 32GB?

          Would be also interested in that actual version of pfBlockerNG you are running .. I see you mention 23.05.1 and pfBlockerNG-devel but not noticing you mention the release of that?

          On a 2100 - no problem

          not sure what being an ARM processor has to do with it...

          The files size is fine.
          -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 12613611 Aug 23 00:30 StevenBlack_ADs.txt

          I have one other small list so the overall count is a little higher: but still

          Screen Shot 2023-08-23 at 8.35.16 AM.png

          all of var db is only 16M

          Screen Shot 2023-08-23 at 8.25.44 AM.png

          and there is no memory crush

          Screen Shot 2023-08-23 at 8.24.10 AM.png

          What mode are you running in "ubound" or "ubound python" mode ?

          • maybe provide us page view of your DNSBL settings.

          What other packages might you be running?

          Do you have the current patch package installed?

                DNSBL Virtual IP and/or Ports are not defined. Exiting

                above from your post.

                then from the follow up post..

                @Summer said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:

                DNSBL is disabled

                likely won't do anything if it is disabled.

                try it enabled ..
                then let's confirm if the error returns (I'd leave the Resolver Live Sync unchecked for now) (I don't have that option because I run python mode)

                The issue is likely configuration related,

                I don't have a 3100 so hard for me do exact configuration, but you might find this helpful.

                the link is referencing an 1100 which is smaller still (in terms of Ram)

                Clearly the first screen capture suggest the list is at least loading on the 1100 and showing a count of 195,149 (likely correct based on the date)

                at the same time my 2100 has not been changed and is working. In this regard.

                // Set memory limit to 512M on amd64.
                if ($ARCH == "amd64") {
                	ini_set("memory_limit", "512M");
                } else {
                	ini_set("memory_limit", "128M");
                }

                  likely won't do anything if it is disabled.

                    So the list is loading per the dashboard --
                    but I don't see that you mention of the error ?
                    is it gone?

                    confirm the files

                      are you using pfBlockerNG or pfBlockerNG-devel?

                      Although both packages are the same now.

                      ARM processor has to do with it...

                      Pure processor power.
                      ARM is great, of course, as at the end of the year the electricity bill will not be the same as a overpowered "Big Iron Intel" (Xenon) processor.

                      and there is no memory crush

                      That's the system memry.
                      PHP, as a process, uses only a small part of that. It's this small 'internal' PHP memory pool to overflows.

                      @jrey said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:

                      What other packages might you be running?

                      1ea869c2-216f-4f96-8b12-6b545c905b35-image.png

                      These :
                      acme backup Cron Filer - ipsec-profile-wizard - Notes - openvpn-client-* - Shellcmd - Systempaches
                      do nothing, and take no run time memory at all.
                      Ok, acme - a big shell (not PHP) , starts once a day to check if the certs have to be renewed. That's peanuts.
                      For me, pfBlockerng uses the most memory.

                      Do you have the current patch package installed?

                      And activated all the patches.
                      Not because I can, because I know why the patch is there - what it does.
                      ( that is, that's what I hope ^^ )

                      On a 2100 - no problem

                      Hummm. That's interesting.


                      edit :
                      I saw your pfBlockerng manual update logs.
                      It took a whopping 35 minutes (start 16:16 - end 16:51)
                      That would be a big no-way for me.
                      Without entering into details : your system is not able to do what you want it to do.
                      35 minutes to download some list and sort them .... that's way to much.
                      Keep in mind : most lists don't have every xx minutes an update, some are not even updated every week. pfBlockerng is smart enough not to download again the same identical list.
                      Still : even as one list changes, they have to added together, and sorted out again.
                      That's why I have pfBlocker set to : sync ones a day, and not more.
                      Your are using the "Python mode", right ?

                      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                      Edit : and where are the logs ??

                        are the questions in the edit directed at me or @Summer ?

                        so my comment "On a 2100 - no problem"

                        how so?
                        works just fine.

                        yes the load time for Summer seems a bit long, but per the dashboard image provided it does appear to have the files (after the latest pass), (waiting on the list requested) that will tell us -- more perhaps

                        at the same time in ubound mode the service might then not be starting or is "confused" about the status, which could be the result of a port conflict with some other service running. (this issue has been commented on several times in the forum)

                        but I'm curious
                        perviously above in the thread you said Screen Shot 2023-08-23 at 11.50.10 AM.png

                        Now in the "edit" of the previous post you state
                        "Without entering into details : your system is not able to do what you want it to do."

                        my 2100 has no issues with this or the other lists I use.
                        from the comments and screen captures that have been provided @Summer is using ubound -
                        I, on the other hand, am using python mode.
                        so the configs will be a "little" different

                        but certainly it works - just fine - no issues here

                          How can I check for port conflict, I've tried to show listeing active ports but netstat output is confusing.

                            sockstat
                            Try sockstat -4 for IPv4 only

                            SSH (or console) access of course, as that's far superior to 'fake' looking GUI console :

                            The common mortals, aka : we all, normally don't have to bother with "ports used by which process".
                            Why do you think you have a port issue ?

                            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.

                              I've read that dns forwarder should be disabled to make pfblocker work, I've tried + reload + update it but still same.

                                dns forwarder should be disabled

                                The dns forwarder or dnsmasq is still present in pfSense for historical reasons.
                                Long time ago, pfSense used dnsmasq for its DNS needs, and isn't needed anymore.
                                Earth isn't flat, isn't the center of the universe, and even the sun isn't :we (should) know better these days.
                                pfSense uses the resolver as Internet (and DNS) was meant to be used like that from day 1.

                                Still, dnsmasq is present, and can be used. Just shut down the resolver (unbound).

                                pfBlocker needs the resolver, not dnsmasq.

                                pfSense, when installed, isn't DNS forwarding, and doesn't have the forwarder activated (dnsmasq).

                                Btw : both the forwarder dnsmasq and the resolver, unbound, can be used together.
                                Just keep in mind that these are server process, so they like to 'bind' to the same port, the famous '53' - UDP and (!) TCP.
                                So, example, select for your LAN unbound and dsnmasq OPT.
                                Both use the outbound WAN connection , that won't be an issue.

                                unbound unbound 86021 11 tcp4 *:53 :

                                yeah, that a complete fail.
                                dnsmasq binds to interface "192.168.24.1", port 53 - only TCP ? (??? - better check your sources, only TCP is .... strange - are the 192.168.24.1 network clients aware of this severe limitation ?)

                                and unbound (tries to) bind to 'all available interfaces', hence the "*.53", this time UDP and TCP, which is ok.
                                That will fail to bind to 192.168.24.1 .... and unboud should have told you that - that's why I always ask : where are the logs ?(which actually means : did you look at them ?)

                                I understand now.
                                The admin created a major issue.
                                Happens.
                                Why do you (think you) need dnsmasq ?

                                  Now DNS resolver (unbound) isn't running.

                                        That line says me that pfBLockerng says to you :
                                        "Listen, this is not a question, more a condition" :

                                        This is now explained :

                                        DNSBL can't work if unbound isn't available.
                                        I know, it is running as you've shown above. I suspect its a zombie process.
                                        Kill it on the command line.

                                        Then : shut down dnsmasq - the forwarder.
                                        Activate unbound with default settings.
                                        This will bring you close to "No more pfBlocker issues".

                                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.

                                          @Gertjan I got it!

                                          31aa5a03-983c-49a4-b163-2bd90831149b-image.png

                                          Please look at basic concepts

                                          1. DNS Resolver MUST be enabled
                                          2. pfBlockerNG
                                          To Utilize, Unbound DNS Resolver must be enabled.
                                          

                                          Thanks to all of you! Wish you a nice day

                                            @Summer said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:

                                            Yes don't know why but it seems gone :)

                                            good.

                                            so we know the files are present and have been processed. (we can talk about the time stamps (how far apart they are) later)

                                            since you are looking at ports etc. I'll let that play out. Doesn't appear you have any package installed that will create a conflict with the ports you set and referenced above from the log "Saving new DNSBL web server configuration to port [ 8082 and 8442 ]" (there was a documented case where port 8442 was used by another listener and thus "confusing" DNSBL causing it not to start) that doesn't appear to be your situation.

                                            From the screen capture, it looks like you have gone ahead and disabled the DNS Resolver and did that after posting your sockstat showing it running, so my take right now is that DNS Resolver is currently off ?

                                            I'll ask then, what is your expectation with regards DNS?
                                            or
                                            what provides DNS to your LAN clients?
                                            what provides DNS to your Netgate?
