          I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work, but then again I never bothered to test on 2.0 beta. Hopefully I will find sometime in the next couple of days to check it out.

          I do need this package to work on 2.0 so I will get it working shortly.

                I am currently running 1.2.3-RELEASE and thanks on the post with information on BlackBerry. I was able to find the CIDR range our BB are using for service. The only thing I am still trying to figure out is how to block the rest of the Country without manually creating an ALIAS list of CANADA IP's? I noticed that the texted is correct under the package interface when making a change to the firewall, that you must save/update the Country Block package to get it running again everytime you make a firewall change. Country Block itself seems to run good without the help of cron. What I think would be neat is to be able to do a block all country and then input an unblock CIDR option under the selected country, that way the whole country would be blocked other than a specified CIDR or list of CIDR's and ranges. Something else I think would be cool is having a log or barnyard dump of data so you can see statistics on blocked country IP's and where the major attacks and brech attempts are comning from.

                The package itself is very cool and in early development, but yet is is so effective. I would love to see the Country Block package become a standard integrated part of the pfsense install along with a few other packages such as IP Block, SNORT, Deep Packet Inspection, and E-mail filtering forwarder.

                Thanks for all the support and help on this package.

                  Why don't you locate the store for the canadian IPs on your local file system and remove the IP range in question?

                      Could it be setup so that those rules were applied at the end so that any allows above it in the firewall rules would allow the traffic.  I am ssuming 2 things of course.  1. That the rules apply top down… 2. That the package can be configured as such.

                      Great package when I learned a couple of painful lessons....  ;D

                        Right now there is no really decent way to remove IPs from the countryblock table. I will have to make a whitelist addon for the package. Hopefully I can sit down and do that soon. I just haven't had the time.

                          This package has singlehandedly cut down 99,9% of all attemps to hack my SQL databases…. Now I just need the IE fix. Then I will have to promote Tommy to a godlike status.....:D

                          Thx buddy. This is absolutely one of the best features of PFSense !!

                            The hard way of solving your problem would be to ssh into your router or manually go to the computer and goto shell.

                            cd /usr/local/www/packages/countryblock/lists

                            cp countries.txt countries.txt.bak

                            nano countries.txt

                            then find the ip range in question and remove

                            Keep in mind changes in the country block package will revert these steps.

                                        Make a backup and then uninstall Snort. Test again.

                                            Can you make a clean install of PFsense and try again??? Just to exclude a corrupted install….
