      Hi there,

      Quick question, I tried to install IP-Blocklist on my 1.2.3 Embedded system.

      Which embedded image are you using?

      The 1GB Embeded on a CF Card
      1.2.3-RELEASE
      built on Mon Dec 7 18:11:25 EST 2009

      Let me get a custom script for you to test. PM me your email.

        Well, if I add a : conf_mount_rw(); in the script before the list creation, it should works isn't it ?

          I tried ip-blocklist and could never get it to work. It shows that it's running but is always showing that is is blocking 0 Networks/IPs. Currrntly I'm using the CN and IN pg2.txt lists. I tried uninstalling/rebooting and reinstalling and the behavior didn't change. There isn't anything in the system log either:

            okay,

            I edited the file ipblocklist_list.php

            • added : require_once('config.inc');
            • added : conf_mount_rw(); and conf_mount_ro(); around the block line 69.

            I can now start and add lists in the ip-blocklist settings but it still displays

            Current Status = Running
            You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs

            Any idea ?

            EDIT : When I try to delete a list, it reloads the config page in the iframe in the page  ???

                I got Blocking 0 Networks/IP because it was not actually retrieving the lists and putting into the tables at all. Check pfctl -sa | more and see if the table even exists. If not I would check if it is referencing the path properly.

                    That looks like logs left from re-moving the package. Did you uninstall to try and troubleshoot. I don't use ipfw anymore, I must have left that in the uninstall script. You can safely ignore those errors since ipblocklist uses pcftl for blocking IP ranges.

                    Here's what you can do to narrow down the problem. SSH into your box and navigate to /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/  and run convert-execute.sh.
                    Make sure your list is working by pasting in the browser. I just checked the level1 example in the package and it seems like the host is now gone. Try http://iblocklist.rlcassidy.net/files/bt_level1.gz as a lvl1 list and see if this works.

                      Tested with chrome and firefox.
                      Also I tried to mount the CF card in RW mode via ssh. I don't have any warning, I can load lists but still have 0 ip blocked

                            okay, found the solution

                            I edited the file ipblocklist_list.php

                            • added : require_once('config.inc');
                            • added : conf_mount_rw(); and conf_mount_ro(); around the block line 69

                            edited the file convert-execute.sh

                            • changed "usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/local/bin/perl"

                            edited convert.pl

                            • changed "usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/local/bin/perl"

                            It's now running and blocking the addresses I added in my list

                            EDIT : how can I verify if it's really working ?
                            EDIT 2 : I did not edit the whitelist.php file as I'm not using it…

                              To verify you can look at the pfctl table. Just look at the php code that counts how many IP networks are being counted.
                              I'm glad you got it working! Since your running embedded I will just link to this post for other embedded users to view. Nice work!

                                cool, all looks okay.

                                And btw, thanks for your package  ;D

                                And for ppl with the embedded version, here is the detailed operation:

                                via SSH :
                                Login your system and go in the ip-blocklist folder : /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist
                                mount your CF card in RW mode with this command : /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
                                edit the file ipblocklist_list.php

                                • add this in the 3rd line of the file (the blank one…) : require_once('config.inc');
                                • line 66 add this line: conf_mount_rw();, it's just before this : $myFile = "lists.txt";
                                • line 75 add this line: conf_mount_ro();, it's just after this : fclose($fh);
                                  save your file

                                check where is perl on your system with this command : find / -type f -name perl
                                if the result is not : /usr/bin/perl
                                edit files :

                                • convert-execute.php
                                • convert.pl
                                  and replace all the "/usr/bin/perl" instances with the path returned by the "find" command

                                then put your system back in RO mode with : /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro

                                If you don't like SSH, you can do everything from the admin page, using the Edit File function located in the Diagnostic menu. From there, you don't need to mount your system in RW mode, the admin page will do it for you

                                */!\ this fix worked on my system but I'm not responsible if your crash yours… so be careful  ;) /!*

                                  Haven't used this package in a while.. Giving it a shot on my 2.0Beta5 build. When i disable IP-Blocklist, I see this error in my log:

                                  Feb 4 16:21:54 	php: /packages/ipblocklist/ipblocklist.php: The command 'ipfw -f flush' returned exit code '69', the output was 'ipfw: setsockopt(IP_FW_FLUSH): Protocol not available'
                                  

                                  BTW great work!! this package is coming out real nice!

                                    That's some old code that I need to remove. Ignore it until its removed.

                                        I'm on an embedded pfsense 1.2.3.  I had some errors under the "whitelist" tab on IP-blocklist.

                                        "Warning: fopen(wlists.txt): failed to open stream: Read-only file system in /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/whitelist.php on line 86 Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/whitelist.php on line 87 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/whitelist.php on line 92"

                                        -I also have a slave 160GB sata drive mounted to /store.  (Kind of cheating for an embedded, might not apply to most)
                                        -I searched for "wlists.txt" in whitelist.php, while in command mode in vi, typed /wlists.txt
                                        -changed wlists.txt entry to /store/ipblocklist/wlists.txt.
                                        -made sure permissions were the same on the original wlists.txt and the new /store/ipblocklist/wlists.txt  (they were, didn't have to modify)

                                        whitelist tab has no errors now.

                                        Also, thanks a lot guys for the modifications to the files to get it working on embedded!

                                        Hey Tommyboy.. any updates on making Internet Explorer/IE functional with ipblocklist?

                                        I grabbed countryipblocks.net's full pg2 list and removed the US_pg2.txt from the group.  Then did a: cat * > pg2_beast.txt

                                        wget –no-check-certificate -r -U Mozilla -A "*pg2.txt" www.countryipblocks.net/e_country_data/

                                        I had to stop the wget once it started to go recursively outside e_country_data, but I got it all.

                                        Thx so much countryipblocks.net!

                                          quick question, is it logged somewhere when somebody is blocked ?

                                            Wow i did this whole write up on squid and forgot I am in the IP-blocklist thread.   ::)  Think I forget because when IP-blocklist is successful, access denied gets shoved into a squid page.

                                            @darxmurf:
