pfblocker not downloading ASN list

[jrey]

@michmoor
Not an issue with the size, - the API only pulls the prefixes for the given ASN so there is no issue downloading an ASN in this regard.
On their side, the ASN's are sync'd almost instantly when the ranges (prefixes) are changed upstream.

Their "Mock Servers" are current responding as expected, but as noted the production servers are currently in a bad state.

Dashboard is showing the failures here as I would expect in cases like this, and nothing bad happens, just continues to use the previous values.

@michmoor I was able to get to https://bgp.tools/as/714#prefixes

But man did it take a while..

And via api url still showing a 500 error..

@johnpoz
Appreciate the assist. Went to your link - https://bgp.tools/as/714#prefixes - I got the prefixes and did a bulk import for the alias.
Works without issue as a workaround to the issue with pfBlocker.

@michmoor not sure I would call it an issue with pfblocker - seems more to me an issue with the site that pfblocker uses to get the info ;) But yeah for sure that is a work around until such time that site is fully operational again..

which is back running as of about 15 minutes ago, albeit still a little sluggish.

@jrey I think they are still having major problems..

I just got this trying to do a search for asn off their main page

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

@johnpoz

didn't try that -
only tried the api calls and were/are responding (little slower than what I would call "normal" but a response at least) That's all pfblocker uses

https://api.bgpview.io/asn/714/prefixes

{"status":"ok","status_message":"Query was successful","data":{"ipv4_prefixes":[{"prefix":"17.0.0.0\/8","ip":"17.0.0.0","cidr":8,"roa_status":"None","name

etc, etc

yeah that did respond.. Good that they fix the api before the main site ;) But yeah it was a bit sluggish but then it did pop with all the data..

This morning there where again trouble with bgpview ...

 /usr/local/bin/curl -A "pfSense/pfblocker cURL download agent-ecd69ce851584cc71xxx" -sS1 https://api.bgpview.io/asn/53667/prefixes > /tmp/pfbtemp10_15438 
.. Failed to download ASN
restore bk file

Seems there are some work underway ... I guess ...

@fireodo

All I can say is that at 01:20:13 Eastern it was working fine

.. completed (Download Valid)
removing bk file
. completed ..

and my next scheduled run isn't for a few hours.
(yesterday log file showed a couple of ASN's failing,
but for the most part ~95% of them they were fine.
0 failures in the run earlier today.
