@Summer said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:
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)
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/179185/php-memory-allocation-error-in-pfblockerng-dnsbl
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.

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.
@jrey said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:
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.@jrey said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:
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?
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.@jrey said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:
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 ^^ )@jrey said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:
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 ? -
@Gertjan
are the questions in the edit directed at me or @Summer ?so my comment "On a 2100 - no problem"
@Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:
Hummm. That's interesting.
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 🔒 Log in to viewNow 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" differentbut certainly it works - just fine - no issues here
-
Thanks you all for support,
@jrey said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:

is it gone?Yes don't know why but it seems gone :)
How can I check for port conflict, I've tried to show listeing active ports but netstat output is confusing.

@Summer said in pfBlockerNG-devel pfsense 23.05.1:
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.edit :

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 ? -

That's sad - your are writing this in the a "pfBlockerng" forum, and that one (need' unbound, not the ancient forwarder.

and then you show it is running.

That line says me that pfBLockerng says to you :
"Listen, this is not a question, more a condition" :This is now explained :
🔒 Log in to view
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". -
@Gertjan I got it!
Please look at basic concepts
- DNS Resolver MUST be enabled
- pfBlockerNG
To Utilize, Unbound DNS Resolver must be enabled.Thanks to all of you! Wish you a nice day

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? -

I don't understand how the "background" magic work but the unbound were started by the pfblocker and it was missing other unbound process from DNS Resolver.

No DNS Resolver is UP and Running.

Just looking for a simple Ad filter

Now it is DNS Resolver on pfsense LAN that act both a resolver and forwarder

Just local ISP

As an answer to
what provides DNS to your Netgate?
Most ISP, using a DHCP WAN, PPPOE or whatever, have one or several DNS available for their clients.
That's part the "get our connection, get our box, and we do the rest" deal. Just perfect for grandma and the other, vast majority, of their clients.
In the past, there were good reasons why they had to do this.
A huge minority of the ISP users use their own router firewall supper gadget (we call it pfSense), which gives you a big pallet with tools so you can do some fine control on your Internet traffic.
One of the first advantages is : now you can get the DNS as it was always intended be the used : you can resolve. Don't underestimate this 'resolve' word here. Understanding it means that you know what that "DNS" thing is all about.Out of the box, when you install and start pfSense the first time, and your ISP used IPv4 and DHCP, you must do this to make everything work :
Nothing.
( I agree, it might be a wise thing that you change the GUI password - and that's it - and I'm serious )
pfSEnse is like any other router out their : plug and play.
Your connection works, and not known host names are lookup up using the original, official way : resolving.
With "original, official" I mean : example : you want to know the phone number of Paul.
Some say : let's ask Jack - as he had Paul on the phone recently.
I prefer this way : "let's ask Paul". Because I guess Paul is probably the best source for this info.
Match this example to pfSense using DNS resolving.
Some : What's the addresses of microsoft.com ? => Let's ask Google.
Others : What's the addresses of microsoft.com ? => Let's ask micosoft.comNow .... you agree ? No needs to finish "Havard" to get this answer here.
It is, of course, not wrong to use the DNS of your ISP. Or to use 8.8.8.8. The bottom line is : it's a choice.

My out of the box start version was 2.3, since that updates and updates and I don't really know what each change has done.

That's fine, but sometimes a reading of glossary on netgate docs could save a day ;-)

Not true in "every" case. your connection could have been a static IP and DHCP would not be in play in that case. (don't really recall you saying ISP or connection type until the question was asked)
The line of questioning was more to lead on the path of thinking about how things work in your specific case. (Learning)
Without getting into the details of how or why, my DNS for example, is all local (internal, behind the wall), fully isolated from the internet. Blazing fast DNS response times. I currently have 40-50 devices behind the 2100 - and it doesn't even have to work hard. It's all about how you approach things, with a specific goal in mind. Plan it out.
I'd would like, if you don't mind, to cycle back on what was perceived to be a long download time for you and the file. (because yes that ~30min time for you ahowed does seem excessive)
what kind of speed is your WAN?
I, for example, typically download this file in 1-2 seconds max - even on a "congested" day it might take 4 seconds (yes, the file only downloads when needed, but still )
