IP-Blocklist

RonpfS · Dec 5, 2010, 11:06 PM

Same problem here on 1.2.3 Release
Doesn't block anything
Doesn't uninstall correctly, IP BlockList still available in menu

got this in the log: Dec 5 14:05:45 root: IP-Blocklist was found not running

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 = NOT running
/tmp/rules.debug:87: cannot load "/usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfw": No such file or directory
You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs

I uninstall, resintalled, uninstalled to no avail.

Yeah I just checked mine too. Uninstall does nothing

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.

greengolftee87 · Dec 6, 2010, 4:16 AM

I tried all three lists on the configuration page to no avail.

tommyboy180 · Dec 6, 2010, 5:33 PM

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

greengolftee87 · Dec 6, 2010, 6:28 PM

You are all kinds of awesome. Started working right away.
Thanks

Glad to hear it!

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

DigitalJer · Dec 15, 2010, 4:37 PM

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.

tommyboy180 · Dec 15, 2010, 5:45 PM

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.

firestrife23 · Dec 15, 2010, 6:43 PM

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

DigitalJer · Dec 15, 2010, 6:48 PM

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.

DWAyotte · Dec 31, 2010, 5:27 AM

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.

DWAyotte · Dec 31, 2010, 5:46 AM

No worries man.

Yes the box is checked to enable.

# ls -l /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists
total 132
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  133982 Dec 30 18:00 bt_ads
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel       0 Dec 30 22:25 ipfw.ipfw
#

tommyboy180 · Dec 31, 2010, 6:23 AM

So it looks like the ads file does get downloaded but for some reason it's not being processed to ipfw.ipfw.

Check the format of the bt_ads file. If it looks good then run /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/convert-execute.sh from the command line manually so you can see any errors if any.
