pfBlockerNG-devel v3.2.0_15

@revengineer said in pfBlockerNG-devel v3.2.0_15:
@mcury I got some good help from @BBcan177 over on the reddit forums under this link. With that I managed to recover my firewall. Still waiting for a fix to reinstall the package but in the mean time its working.
That is great..
I'll also wait for an update on this matter before trying to update it again.

@BBcan177 for the sake of providing an update and maybe a route for others:
TL;DR:
So, ultimately, if anyone else thought, "Oh, weird. I've got my config, lemme do a reinstall." then stumbles on this when that doesn't work... using the curl commands shared on reddit, and a combination of rebooting/waiting things out (and console or ssh access tops auxwwortopmonitor what's happening the best you can), will get to a place where it's done, but running the curl commands again will then let you get back in. In the mean time, rolling back to the main branch instead of -devel may be the smart move in terms of keeping pfblocker functionality.What I ran through:
I was running into this, didn't find this thread (or the reddit post(s)) yet, and decided to try a reinstall of the pfsense router because when I just restarted the device it wouldn't boot to a full console, it seemed to lock up when loading the OpenVPN export service although routing was still working. I figured something was wrong with my install, not the package. scp'd my config for safety, and did a restore config during the install, everything seemed to be going fine. Then the webGUI locked up during reinstalling packages like it did when just updating the package. I started digging in and found this.
I was able to SSH into the machine, copy/paste the curl commands, and after a bit it appears as if the package actually installed while I was trying to figure out how to restart the
pfb_filterservice (until I hit a "Oh, I guess it didn't install that yet" wall because the service rc.d files weren't there). It looked like it was not continuing to install other packages so I restarted PHP-FPM. I was still seeing//usr/local/bin/php -f //etc/rc.packages pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel POST-INSTALLat 100% usage on a CPU core, still not seeing progress on other packages, so I restarted the machine. After a couple minutes the POST-INSTALL process is back to running a CPU at full and the webUI became unreachable again. After a little bit the POST-INSTALL process went away on it's own, then saw a bunch of pool nginx threads instead, webUI was still not loading. Watching via ssh, it looked like packages did finish installing but I still wasn't getting webUI so I restarted the router again. At this point, I still wasn't getting back into the webUI, but routing still worked.I figured I'd rerun the curl commands to get things from the github gist again, the
pfb_filterservice still didn't seem to exist so just I just rebooted the router, and it looked like everything was "fine" now except pfblocker is definitely not installed right. No menu item under firewall, the dashboard widget is showing nothing, etc. For now I'm removing the -devel package and switching to the stable release package. It didn't offer to let me keep my settings but it appears to still have kept them. At least, after running the force update to rebuild things it looks like my DNSBL whitelists are kept as well as all my other settings.Wanted to share the story as I imagine there may be another "Eeeh, a reinstall is easy enough since I have my config" person out there. It's fixable.

To add my solution (no idea how "dirty" it is):
I SSH'd in and executed "pkg install pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG" to get the -stable version. While the de-installation of -devel got stuck I SSH'd a second shell & searched for the 100% php process and just killed that one. Not the de-installation of -devel and installation of -stable continued. After finishing I could reach the GUI again and it looks normal.

I did the update.

After the update, it no longer lets me log in to the pfsense gui,
CPU is at 100%
I can hear the CPU cooling fan already on full blast
shell command prompt is blocked
What should I do??
i try to restart system -
Whooops, I had just clicked on upgrade package and at the same time landed here to read up on the update. Lucky I have an HA setup and a backup of the first VM which I started to update. Both php processes on both CPUs were swapping to 100% CPU usage when I dropped in the cli to take a peek with top as reported. I didn't want to go through the fix hassle and just restored the previous backup of my first pfSense VM while the second one became master (Hail to HA and CARP! How many times has this setup saved me unwanted trips and angry calls!) and in less than 7 minutes everything was back to normal. Definitely will wait this one out ;)

@Unoptanio interestingly you can still get into the gui via other pages like the package manager etc. Had the same issue but the url extension for the package manager page autofilled by my browser and I was able to get in that way. Only the main page of the GUI doesn’t work, once in if you click on the main landing page it will still get stuck all the other parts of the GUI firewall, nat etc work… Another issue is it’s now showing multiple packages as updatable that have no updates like ntopng; some just reinstall the original package and others get stuck attempting to reinstall. I guess it caused some sort of corruption. Hopefully a fix soon.

@aivxtla
Panic!I made 3 or 4 attempts to restart but they didn't solve the problem.
After the last reboot I was able to access the GUI with this screen and message:

It appears to have automatically rolled back to version 23.09.1
At this point I restored a backup I had
Unfortunately I immediately updated without reading other users' experiences, otherwise I wouldn't have done it.
At this point if I update to version 24.03_1 in the end when I restart everything stops again

First time that I've been bitten by an apparently bad package update on pfSense... This issue is taking place on 24.03
Stalled with the following output:

What does this command do?

@Unoptanio if you cannot get in GUI and load this line in your browser it might work, of course with your login password

@Qinn
I have now restored a backup from files I made in August.
The only problem is that after the restore it takes me back to version 23.09.1 with all the packages in old versions. At this point if I update to version 24.06_1 when doing the final reboot the gui stall problem I initially had occurs again. -
I solved my problem by following @stephenw10 suggestions on this thread: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1185688 Thanks Stephen!!
Also needed to kill off a pfblockerng.php cron process left over from the prior devel version.

@peroni5
Have you tried, does it work? -
@peroni5 said in pfBlockerNG-devel v3.2.0_15:
... 3.2.0.16 is out
Yeah, saw that.
Did a save, a ZFS clone, rebootted from that, and installed the "16".
Saw procs hitting 100 % again as this morning, so I bailed out. I'll give it a 7 days cool-down from now ^^No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
Edit : and where are the logs ??
