      Did we ever resolve the IP Blocklist service having this:

      Current Status = NOT running

      You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs

      Even though the "Enable IP-Blocklist" is checked?  It seems to happen after some period of time… haven't figured out how long, usually I check each day and it seems consistent.

      I'm using embedded, don't know if its specific to this. (1.2.3-release)

        embedded doesn't like my package for some reason. Let me take some time to get an embedded environment running to get a fix for you here soon. Thanks.

            I'm having trouble getting an embedded vm running. Is there an easy way to get embedded going within vmware?

              Tommyboy, because the embedded is an image file, I use physdiskwrite to slap the .img file onto a flash disk.  I always reference this howto as well:

              http://pfsense.phoenixkv.net///tutorials/wrap_install/wrap_install.htm

              You would probably have to mount the virtual disk made by vmware as a drive on your PC for physdiskwrite to detect it as a drive/partition.  Or something of this nature.  I am assuming you're trying to mount it like you would an ISO image and that won't fly.  Or maybe you're farther ahead than this.  I am not sure.

                Hello,

                I have install Ip-Blocklist package ver:0.3.1 on my pfsense ver: 1.2.3-RELEASE
                I have setting more ip list ( http://iblocklist.charlieprice.org/files/bt_spyware.gz , http://iblocklist.charlieprice.org/files/tbg_bogon.gz etc etc.. )

                All it's OK from the gui interface install and update.

                The problem it's for automic list update :

                i have comment out lines 3-14 of this file : /usr/local/etc/rc.d/IP-Blocklist.sh
                i have do a cron to execute daly  : /usr/local/etc/rc.d/IP-Blocklist.sh

                The problem is when i execute this batch : /usr/local/etc/rc.d/IP-Blocklist.sh it juste update firewall rules and note my list.

                This script not downlad all .gz file and not take a list live update.

                Only this script update all lists : ipblocklist.php
                And i have add this line to not have memory error : ini_set("memory_limit","128M");

                Do you have a solution to automatic realy uptade the lists  ?
                Without solution, i have think to execute the ipblocklist.php with php command line.
                Excuse my english .

                Best regards.

                  I think you have a couple options. You can invoke the php via command line with or you can put the fetch code into the .sh on your own. The php code downloads the lists since it's easy to use a loop in php, but by all means put the fetch loop into the shell code.

                  The memory error is normal. You can safely ignore it. It only happens when you use large lists. You can cut down the size of your lists, increase your php mem size, or just ignore it. Even with the error the script will still execute properly.

                    Hello,

                    I have the error: /usr/bin/perl: not found  when you execute : /usr/local/etc/rc.d/IP-Blocklist.sh ( Or Save/update by webGui )

                    i have find a simply solution :

                    ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl

                    Regards.

                      Hello,

                      Another little bug:

                      If you want downlaod a list file as : http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=rynxmrknfjysesjtjlxy&id=xxxxxxx&pin=xxxxxxxxx does not work !
                      Exemple if you are a http://www.iblocklist.com/ subscriber you have the same url for your block list.

                      Solution:
                      File : /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/ipblocklist.php
                      exec("/usr/bin/fetch -o lists $line"); –-> replace by --> exec("/usr/bin/fetch -o lists "$line"");

                      Best reagards.

                        Awesome! I will update ASAP. As far as the perl location, some people have this problem, most don't. I guess I can add both locations for compatability but that's not ideal. Did you get it working?

                            I got it running in VMware but it doesn't detect my virtual NICs for some reason. User NoahVail was supposed to send me a laptop for dev but he hasn't.
                            I still have plans for fix the package for embedded users so don't worry.

                              Tommyboy, I have been using IP-Blocklist for a few weeks and it works great. BTW, I am also using your file manager and country blocker package. All awesome programs. I have one issue, it appears that the level1 lists block banking sites (for me it is tnx.banking.pcfinancial.ca) as well as meta data retrieval from tMDB.org and theTVDB.com for meta <browser>for my mediabrowser in win7 media center. They all work fine if I turn off IP-Blocklist. I tried to create a whitelist with the ip addresses of these sites but still no luck. Can you please give me a little more detail on how to create a whitelist, the format, and which directory to place it in. Also how to see if it is working.

                              Thanks</browser>

                                Hey. I had the same problems as well. Keep trying to whitelist that range. Make sure you're using CIDR formatting on the whiltelist range.
                                Also, don't forget to re-Save/Update after you create your whitelist. The rules need to be regenerated or else your sites will still be blocked.

                                Let me know how it turns out. Take care.

                                    Did we ever resolve the IP Blocklist service having this:

                                    Current Status = NOT running

                                    You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs

                                    Even though the "Enable IP-Blocklist" is checked?  It seems to happen after some period of time… haven't figured out how long, usually I check each day and it seems consistent.

                                    I'm using embedded, don't know if its specific to this. (1.2.3-release)

                                    Hi …sorry to resurrect this, but it seems that I am having the exact same problem on the non-embedded version of pfSense. I am running 2.0-RC1-i386 (no snapshots/updates applied). I was able to confirm that last night the status showed running, and this morning it shows not running. "Enable IP-Blocklist" is always checked. If I click 'Save' it changes the status to running again. This has happened several times over the course of the last three days (new install), and I haven't determined if there is a fixed time frame when the status changes.

                                    I am running a vanilla install with only the IP-Blocklist and Snort packages added. Thanks...

                                      Even though the "Enable IP-Blocklist" is checked?  It seems to happen after some period of time… haven't figured out how long, usually I check each day and it seems consistent.

                                      I'm using embedded, don't know if its specific to this. (1.2.3-release)

                                      Hi …sorry to resurrect this, but it seems that I am having the exact same problem on the non-embedded version of pfSense. I am running 2.0-RC1-i386 (no snapshots/updates applied). I was able to confirm that last night the status showed running, and this morning it shows not running. "Enable IP-Blocklist" is always checked. If I click 'Save' it changes the status to running again. This has happened several times over the course of the last three days (new install), and I haven't determined if there is a fixed time frame when the status changes.

                                      I am running a vanilla install with only the IP-Blocklist and Snort packages added. Thanks...

                                      I'll look into this today hopefully.

                                        Tommyboy, all

                                        it seems as if IPblocklist is working for everybody except for me  :-[ … I currently have two issues:

                                        1. email settings
                                          see: ipblocklist_1.png

                                        I've set all parameters, but when I hit "test" I get the error
                                        [code]Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to none://smtp.1und1.de:25 (Unable to find the socket transport "none" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?) in /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/class.smtp.php on line 122 Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

                                        I solved this problem by commenting

                                        //$mail->SMTPSecure = "none";
                                        

                                        in the email_send.php file

                                        1. Interface settings:
                                          I have in the interfaces.txt file "any", so all interfaces should be activated. Looking at the interfaces tab I get:
                                          see: ipblocklist_if.png

                                        strangely only the LAN interface is available. Going into the ipblocklist_if.php file I modified a few lines of code

                                                           $portinfo): ?>
                                        $comma_array=implode(",",$iface);
                                        echo "$portname - $comma_array 
                                        ";
                                        ?>
                                        
                                        

                                        so that I can see exactly the $iface definitions and I get:
                                        see: ipblocklist_if_new.png

                                        the checking of the interface goes against the physical interface address, instead of pppoe0
                                        The question is if the blocking of the IP-addresses still occur even if the interface tab is "messed up".

                                        I'm currently running on Current version: 2.0-RC1 - Built On: Sat Mar 12 01:18:33 EST 2011

                                        Hope someone can help me out.

                                        Cheers + Regards

                                          seggerman,

                                          Hopefully I can get into it more. Right now I don't have a 2.0 RC1 install. I'm working on getting mine going. Soon I will be able to fully support your issue.

                                          EDIT:

                                          I just got 2.0RC1 running. 2.0-RC1 (i386) built on Tue Mar 15 08:53:58 EDT 2011.

                                          I installed the package and everything is good. I would try re-moving the package and re-installing. See if that helps.

                                            After a bit of experimentation, I've been able to isolate what appears to cause IP-Blocklist to change to a disabled state. It happens every time the pfSense filter gets reloaded (at least it does with my install). If I select 'Filter Reload' in the Status menu (and then press the 'Reload Filter' button), IP-Blocklist will change to a disabled state. Presumably this will happen when the filter periodically/automatically reloads. Thx…
