Country Block
-
My cronjob is not working either…...it starts the package every minute.
Not running is the current status and the Cron doesnt start it.
-
After I go into the topic more deeply, I have found that Country Block is running. Problem was with crone ( */5 ) => (0) fixed the problem.
Also:
 -
But then it runs all the time….
Not optimal...

Also:
The cron script checks to see if countryblock is running. If it is then it will exit and if countryblock is not running then it will attempt to start the package. It's fine.

…still only get```
root: Countryblock was found not running -
sorry false alarm….. I was too happy ....
after almost one day of working get this again:
Current Status = NOT running
no IP address found for __csrf_magicI used firefox ....

I've now executed the command manually - and the status page now shows:```

When you check "Enable Logging?" in the settings page, where is it being logged to?
The firewall tab under system logs.
Thought so. Then:
A. I'm getting no traffic at all from any of the top spammers,
B. Country Block isn't running even though it says "Running…. Blocking 11110 Networks",
C. Logging isn't working right for me somehow, or
D. The only traffic I have heading my way is being handled by the 28 rules I have on my TWAN interface already.Are the country block rules before or after any rules we already have under the regular firewall rules? Because a few of the ranges I excluded manually a long time ago show entries in the firewall log every 5-10 minutes.
Might this be related to my config and country block isn't compatible with it? I'm running 1.2.3, I have 2 WANs, one T1 and one cable modem. The T1 is where I want country block (and it is selected alone under "interfaces") as it is where the servers reside. The T1 also has 5 IP addresses assigned statically. The cable modem handles all the client/user traffic and is the 'real' WAN port. There are also 6 other interfaces on this machine.
In my config file I have the following being applied to that interface (the only way I could get this interface working right):
<shellcmd>/sbin/ifconfig fxp2 #.#.#.203 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>/sbin/ifconfig fxp2 #.#.#.204 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>/sbin/ifconfig fxp2 #.#.#.205 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>/sbin/ifconfig fxp2 #.#.#.206 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias</shellcmd>

But I'm willing to keep trying on CB until it works.

Check block outbound.
Re-save/update countryblock so the rules are re-applied.
Ping a country that is blocked (check the country txt file if your unsure of any ip ranges)
It should show in the firewall logs and you should get an error that says "operation not permitted" meaning it's working! -

I just did those options and I found countryblock logs within the firewall logs.
The attached screenshot is from just now.
Edit: if the webGUI says it's running then it's running. There's no way it can be a false positive since it actually checks to make sure the countryblock tables are in pfctl.Edit2: It only logs attempt coming inbound. If you try to ping out then it's not logged. Sorry for that confusion.

will try but am not entirely clear how. As a first step, I think this message here is key:
Current Status = NOT running /tmp/rules.debug:79: cannot load "/usr/local/www/packages/countryblock/lists/countries.txt": No such file or directory You are blocking 0 NetworksI see that after having executed the script from the command window. Pretty much what cron would do. WebIF then still says "not running".
But I don't have the foggiest idea why I can enable Country Block by checking the box on the WebIF - no errors then and works until PPPOE reset or Firewall rules change - restart script does not work, have to restart using WebIF.
-
Exactly what I see now…. and thats why I asked for the cron command. It doesnt work....

It's because he's using embedded. It works just fine on full installs. I need to get an embedded test system going or have someone help me out. In the mean time embedded installs wont be fully supported.

I took a look at your PM and the youtube video. I have determined that you have a typo in your command on the cron job.

Still have not figured out the logging thing, but if I bring up pfTop and switch to the rules view I can see quite a few entries that contain "<countryblock>" and "<countryblockw>" (like "drop inet from <countryblock>to #") that have a byte and packet count >0.
So it is working for sure and I can monitor that directly.</countryblock></countryblockw></countryblock>
