      I removed the IP-Blocklist and I get this error every time I reload the firewall filter. Is there anyway to manually remove it using the command-line? FYI, I also get this same error when I just disable the IP-Blocklist. :'(

      Thanks,

      Rhett

        Thank you for the information.

        I deleted a file and things are working good again.
        Looks like you need to have your uninstaller delete the following file:
        /usr/local/pkg/pf/IP-Blocklist.sh

            How to remove the xml and inc files using the webGUI? Also, I'm using windows and experience root2020's problem. TIA

              The uninstaller seems to remove those two files. Do an uninstall via the GUI and then just remove the "/usr/local/pkg/pf/IP-Blocklist.sh"

              Goto > Diagnotics > Command Line and type in the following
              rm /usr/local/pkg/pf/IP-Blocklist.sh

                    @tommyboy180:

                    @Systex:

                    I'm running an embedded install of 2.0Beta5 and tried to make the changes listed in this thread in order to get it to work. However, I accidentally forgot a semicolon after the first line I added (require_once('config.inc')) and when I went to refresh the IP-Blocklist page I got the following error in the textbox:

                    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/ipblocklist_list.php on line 5

                    Since then, I've tried everything I can to get back to a cleanly-installed state: I've undone the edits I made to that file, and I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the IP-Blacklist package, but whatever I do, I now always get that error. How can I get back to a clean slate without completely reinstalling pfsense?

                    My best advice is to uninstall the package, check the file system (/usr/local/www/ipblocklist) and delete it, and then reboot. That should help you start from a clean slate.

                    Hmm, after uninstalling I looked in /usr/local/www/ and there was no file or directory ipblocklist. I then rebooted, and reinstalled the package. Same exact error as before. The strange thing, is that if I look at the file /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/ipblocklist_list.php, it's the stock, unmodified form (i.e., correct syntax)!? I'm very confused as to what's going on.

                    Sorry. The directory is /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/
                    Uninstall and check to make sure that it's deleted.
                    Try executing the .sh manually in your console if you get the same error again.

                    I can add to this.  I was having the same issue with a mistype such that on the main tab there was a similar error message to Systex.  An uninstall-manual flush/reinstall did nothing.  I did not reboot however.  What I have realized is that everything is fine but the message was stale and showing in the frame and this never refreshed.  I right clicked on the frame and manually reloaded the frame where the error message was and this fixed everything for me as far as the display and the error message is concerned.

                      I got it installed with a couple of lists, when I check syslog i always get this message: "root: IP-Blocklist was found not running", if i goto Firewall > IP-Blocklist status says its running with a number of networks blocked, any idea what the issue here is?

                      Thank you

                        I think I may know what the issue is. I'm still doing work on the package but the binary files are no longer in the repo. This will be fixed very soon!

                          How does one create an importable whitelist? I play Guild Wars and NC interactive is blocked with Level-1 blacklist. I want to whitelist the subnets for Guild Wars, but have ended up beating my head on a brick wall trying to import. I don't have sufficient skills to edit within the Linux shell. Any other suggestions?

                          NC INTERACTIVE, INC:206.127.144.0-206.127.159.255

                          Thanks!

                                  http://iblocklist.taltos.org/files/wujnnzxrgppvpdujdetm/bt_ads.gz is the url for that file. To find the real url just download the file like normal in your browser and go back into your downloads and look at the url in your browser history.

                                  I'm not sure how often the url scheme changes on that site so checking the url or saving it to a website you own may help with stability.

                                  Thanks for your support! If you know php then perhaps we could work together on the project!

                                    Tommyboy,

                                    I have yet to upgrade to 2.0.x, as I will probably wait for final release (however I did test it and it looks great).  This means I am still running 1.2.3.

                                    I have recently worked with your latest, 0.3.2.  As we've talked before in this thread, I do use the nanobsd (embedded) version and I do have a SATA 160GB drive mounted separately of the OS in my lil Soekris box.  With the debugging/output that I think is now available (versus previous versions), I was able to modify all the scripts that were getting an error, not being able to write to the embedded file system, ie: read-only.  Now they're all writing to my SATA drive and the IPblocklist package has been running for 72 hours without a crash.  This is a lot better than before where the service would crash, or it would act silly, or whatever.

                                    The files that needed to be written were files like: ipfw.ipfw, whitelist, and wlists.txt  (i think thats all of them).  (again once IPblocklist could write somewhere, it worked fine… maybe for embedded systems you could write it all to tmp?  And then just have it reload them to tmp if the system gets reset?, not sure.), or where in the scripts it needs to write these files, invoke the /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw and then back /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro when done?  (just a thought)

                                    I am using a custom list that I created which basically just blocks 98% of all countries that I load from an internal webserver.

                                    Maybe by now this whole thread includes this kind of information, or you probably already know.

                                    I just wanted to say thanks.   :)

                                      Excellent. Would you be interested in helping write code and take this package to the next level? I'm getting more busy every day with normal day-to-day things and my school work. I'm actually in an Oracle class right now away from home. If you want to help out and dedicate a couple hours a week to this project that would super awesome.

                                      Have you considered using Countryblock to block just countries? You should find it more stable for embedded installs. There are a couple hosting companies that are using countryblock and they have found it to be quite stable.

                                      When I am able to find the time I will release a new version that will detect if embedded and put the files that must be written to and read from in /tmp.

                                        Tommyboy,

                                        Thanks for the coding offer.  I just did a few, little hacks in your scripts in response to debugging output that was provided.  I am taking Linux admin and some programming classes, but I am not uber like you.  ;D

                                        Let me know what you have in mind and maybe I can help, (pm ?)

                                        As far as writing to tmp, that'd be a cool option I think.  Maybe we could rig a cron job or something to help the IPblocklist reload after a power cycle.

                                        And maybe the country block would have been a better choice.  (doh).

                                          The latest version of ipblocklist reloads after a filter reload. It's actually really nice because you don't have to setup email notifications or a cron job anymore. It's stable now.
                                          I do set the file system to read/write if on embedded but I guess the files need the same permission so /tmp is an excellent place.

                                          I will be able to get to this update within the next couple of weeks. Thank you so much and when you feel comfortable with PHP send me a PM. I don't want to leave the package DEV scene but it just takes me a little longer to get updates out than users want.

                                            Ahhh OK I see.  After a filter reload sounds better.

                                            Thanks!
