          :( I do…...Firefox has problems showing layers on webpages....If I have a transparent webpage with a .jpg background, it doesnt show the background at all.....

          IE is also more secure. Therefore I use IE....

            Opps we don't want to start a FF vs. IE flame war here on this topic.

            Just my two cents:
            FF: http://secunia.com/advisories/product/28698/
            IE:http://secunia.com/advisories/product/21625/

            Looks like IE has more unpatched bugs and a bigger threat score than FF does. Looks like FF is more secure to me.

                  The compress lists work well but I tried using this URL http://www.countryipblocks.net/e_country_data/Asia_cidr.txt and could not get it to work. Do they have to be a compressed tarball? I want to block the countries I get the most attacks from.

                  Wish I could just use this list http://www.countryipblocks.net/e_country_data/North_America_cidr.txt and an allow list but I will take what I can get. Want to block South America, Asia, Russia, and well a lot of others. It just seems like all those IPs would kill my box.

                    The lists can be any format such as .txt, .list, .IPs, and even no extention as long as they are plain text lists. If they are compressed then .gz is the only supported compression.

                    You list (http://www.countryipblocks.net/e_country_data/Asia_cidr.txt) is not in the correct format. Lists have to be in the PG2 format (Asia:58.16.15.56-58.100.0.100)

                    For country IPs you can either find countries at http://iblocklist.com/lists.php or make you own list.

                    I make my own lists at http://gskinner.com/RegExr/
                    For example I want to convert a .csv of IPs from www.stopforumspam.com to the PG2 format.

                    • Paste all the IPs in http://gskinner.com/RegExr/

                    • Click find a replace, do a find for "\b\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}\b" and a replace for "\nIP:$&-$&"

                    Now that only works for single IP addresses

                    Since your list (http://www.countryipblocks.net/e_country_data/Asia_cidr.txt) is in CIDR format then you will have to find a script or online application to convert CIDR to IP range.
                    Here is a link that can help you convert CIDR to IP range: http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/34301-get-ip-list-cidr-2.html
                    Once you convert your list to IP range then you have to convert to PG2 format with http://gskinner.com/RegExr/

                    If you are going to use www.countryipblocks.net then download the "IP range" list and convert to PG2 Format

                      speaking of iblocklist.com, it's as simple as copying the "http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1" to add list url and that's it? or do I have to do it some other way?

                        It is that simple.  :)

                        Just make sure you get the true url. Since the link you posted is a pointer to several mirrors that host that file you need to click that link and then copy the url to paste into the package.

                        Example: http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1  points to http://iblocklist.dbnservers.net/files/bt_level1.gz
                        So you would paste http://iblocklist.dbnservers.net/files/bt_level1.gz into the package.

                            That is a large step backward. CIDR lists are much faster since pf supports them natively, and your app has to translate them back into CIDR lists anyhow. Converting them away from CIDR format will only slow things down.

                            It should be fairly easy to add support for CIDR lists to your app, or the person who wants to use CIDR lists can just use the URL Table Alias package instead, which currently only does CIDR or IP lists, since that's pf's desired format.

                                Jimp,
                                I completely agree with you. In fact CIDR is supported in pf (edit-I see you pointed that out above). The reason is because my package is specifically written for a specific format, the PG2 format. This PG2 format requires IP address ranges. The package then converts the ranges to CIDR format to import into a pf table.

                                With this being said I know it seems completely backwards to begin with but for those who have wanted PeerGuardian2 or Peer Block at the router level can defiantly appreciate this package and the list format it requires.

                                My suggestion for those who want to block countries is to first look at iblocklist.com for that country, if they don’t have your country then download the IP range list and convert.

                                @g4m3c4ck:

                                I still get this when hitting save/update

                                Browse to the Whitelist page, the error will go away.

                                EDIT2:
                                If there are enough people out there that would like to see a Country block package, I can make that in a couple hours. Just keep in mind that iblocklist.com has several countries already in the PG2 format and I am sure you can find every country in this format somewhere in the intertubes.

                                    Well I think that's enough for me. Look for the Country Block package here soon.

                                          I got most of the PG2 packages installed from iblocklist.com except the country ones which didn't come up in .gz format.  Reading the previous posts, I went to www.countryipblocks.net and made the "IP Range" for the countries desired and then attempted the gskinner.com which got me all confused.  I didn't understand the "find a replace, do a find for… and a replace for..." in reply #53.

                                          This leads me to my question - is there a simple PG2 file that has all the countries in one and then if I were to add individual countries on the whitelist would that override the manual list?

                                          I ask this so that everything is blocked by default unless I were to specifiy otherwise without having to reparse a new list (or add every single country individually) everytime I need to give access to a certain country.

                                          Otherwise this is a really cool package and thank you!
