pfBlockerNG blocks my entire network

JHODZ

@Gertjan noted am reviewing this will give you the feedback but also if I may ask I changed my web interface port can it also cause any issue with pfblocker

JHODZ

@JHODZ I also checked from my logs and got this error
[1708589241] unbound[97875:0] error: bind: address already in use
[1708589241] unbound[97875:0] fatal error: could not open ports

That means that unbound was told to stop, but didn't (in time). then it get restarted, but it can't, as the previous instance is still shutting down, or even dead.
Solution : console or SSH, option 8, and :

ps ax | grep 'unbound'

and kill all the lines like these :

17516  -  Ss     16:07.53 /usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf

so

kill 17516

and when done, start unbound in GUI.

Like :

why not.
( as long as it isn't used by another process ^^ )

No Please. I have even changed it

You didn't change it, but it lists 12.10.100.1 as its vip? That sure looks like it was changed to me.. Where it would it come up with such an address?

JHODZ

@Gertjan yes i dd changed it

johnpoz

@JHODZ yeah my bad, couldn't read this morning I guess.. but 12.something would be a really bad choice.. And points out it should be rfc1918..

JHODZ

Hi all, I got it to work by changing some of the ports, but I can't run DNSBL in python mode allthough unbound mode works fine. Please is there anything else am missing.

Missing what - you have given no info on how your setup..

Because ?
You don't want to ?
Some other reason ?

edit :
"Python mode" is what the unbound authors advice to use when you want, for example, add dnsbkl type files. This 'mode' speeds up drastically the start and restart of unbound.

JHODZ

@Gertjan I meant I am unable to run dnsbl in Python mode. Webpages takes long time to load

@JHODZ

How much DNSBL feeds do you have :

What does this log show you when you reload pfBlockerng like this :

Do the test both in unbound and Python mode.
