      Beginner problems here.


      Usage
      Add direct link to list and press (Example: Level1, Level2, Level3)
      Compressed lists should have .gz extention and follows PeerBlock syntax

      Warning! - Apply after firewall change or state reset. Use at your own risk.

      Current Status = Running

      You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs


      Q: How do I know if the list got applied?
      A: The package web interface will display the current status.
      Links i've attempted to use
      http://list11.iblocklist.com/files/bt_spyware.gz
      http://iblocklist.whitacrecomputers.com/files/bt_level3.gz
      and several other i've verified are in the correct format including small handmade lists hosted on the LAN

      Running Pfsense 1.2.3
      Other packages installed: Dashboard
      built on Sun Dec 6 23:21:36 EST 2009
      FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p5 i386

      Q: I have the "Enable" check box checked but I don't think its blocking any IPs
      A: Any Errors will be at the bottom of the page when you press Save/Update
      I get no error messages after Save/Update

            I will look into the uninstall problem tonight. As far as getting it running make sure your using direct links to lists. Try using one of the example lists.

                IP-Blocklist 3.0.1 released!

                fixed uninstall problem.
                updated perl to 5.12
                updated netCIDR to 0.14

                pfsense 1.2.3 has been tested.

                pfsense 2.0BETA not tested.

                Completely uninstall IP-Blocklist. If you still have a link for IP-Blocklist then run "rm -R /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist" and "rm /usr/local/etc/rc.d/IP-Blocklist.sh" before re-installing 3.0.1

                      So I rm the package rm -R /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist" and "rm /usr/local/etc/rc.d/IP-Blocklist.sh"
                      I reinstalled, doesn't block any .gz list

                      Removed, uninstallation went fine, the menu are not present in Firewall menu  :)

                      Install again, still You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs

                      I modified /etc/inc/config.inc from 128MB to 256M and /usr/local/lib/php.ini from 32M to 128M
                      no change (not sure if I have to reboot or not)

                      Uninstall is my next move

                        Uninstall the package from your package manager page and then re-install. That should do it. The rm -R command was only for those that still had a link after uninstalling and still had the package installed.

                          It seem to working perfectly, without any issues. However, how do I know it's actively blocking in real time, is there's a way to monitor this similar to logfile? I enabled Logging, and I don't see it under Status > System Logs

                            hm, I seem to be failing at everything, lol.

                            Uninstall IP-Blocklist OK, but link remains.

                            Executed the CL as suggested above to remove the link, and the link remains (when clicked, 404 - Not Found).  Reboot / reinstall / uninstall in any/every order doesn't seem to help, IP-Blocklist 3.0 keeps installing (instead of 3.0.1), and Running, but Blocking = 0 Networks.

                              An old config is preventing you from getting the new version. I forget where the directory is but I think it somewhere near /usr/etc/pkgs or something like that. Just delete everything IP-Blocklist/ipblocklist.

                              I can't tell for sure since I'm away from home right now (working on my CCENT/CCNA). If you can't get it working let me know, I can probably get a VM of pfsense up if I need to.

                                just a small feature request, can you add this to bottom of whitelist page like "You're currently unblocking #### IPs"

                                  Found a cpl ipblockist.* in /usr/local/pkg -deleted them, same prob(s) still exist - no worries though, thanks for the tip :)

                                    Hey good buddy. I was on a wicked old version, like 2.2.1, something like that. I am having no luck getting the latest to work for me. I tried looking all over the fs, using your other awesome package btw, and couldn't find anything in terms of remnants from a past config.

                                    The newest package installs fine, but when I add .gz lists I still have 0 showing for number of blocks with service Running. Any ideas? Thanks again!

                                      I have some ideas. First are you using 1.2.3 or the BETA 2.0? I have been having problems keeping this package working smoothly for those with BETA2.0. Someone was kind enough to agree to send me a laptop for development but unfortunately it hasn't arrived yet.
                                      If you're on 1.2.3 then we should be able to figure it out quickly. Just to confirm you have IP-Blocklist ver 0.3.0 or 0.3.1 correct?
                                      Can you try this .gz file: http://iblocklist.dbnservers.net/files/bt_ads.gz    Just to be sure.

                                      Edit: By the way thank you for your suggestion for a whitelist feature a long time ago. I hope you can enjoy the package here soon.

                                        I was very excited to see the whitelist! I can't wait to start using it. I have been plenty happy with the package so far, as you can tell, I haven't upgraded since I first installed it :)

                                        I am on pfSense 1.2.3 with IP Blocklist 0.3.1 and I did as you suggested, adding this list: http://iblocklist.dbnservers.net/files/bt_ads.gz

                                        Still shows running with 0 blocked.

                                          I was very excited to see the whitelist! I can't wait to start using it. I have been plenty happy with the package so far, as you can tell, I haven't upgraded since I first installed it :)

                                          I am on pfSense 1.2.3 with IP Blocklist 0.3.1 and I did as you suggested, adding this list: http://iblocklist.dbnservers.net/files/bt_ads.gz

                                          Still shows running with 0 blocked.

                                          This might be a really stupid question but do you have the enable check box checked before clicking save?

                                          SSH in to your system and check the contents of /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists  The .gz file should be in that directory if it got downloaded correctly. Also check the contents of /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfw and see if there is anything in there.
