IP-Blocklist

@tommyboy180:

Did you have the countryblock package installed at any point?

Yes, and I could never get it to work properly. But it was uninstalled and I also upgraded pfSense from RC2 to RC3. I figured those two things would've fixed the problem, but pf obviously still sees some junk left over from CB.

What can I do?

it's looking for it in /tmp/rules.debug but before you edit this file I want to ask if you have rebooted your system since you uninstalled countryblock. If you haven't then do so and your problem should be solved.
I pulled up a command line using the shell option and I navigated to the "/usr/local/www/packages/" directory - there is no subfolder named "countryblock". The info from my error is being stored somewhere, but I don't know how to wipe it out so I can start over fresh.

Any help would be appreciated - thank you!

Shuey

That's the crazy thing… I uninstalled CountryBlock, updated my pfSense build and rebooted the system. I too was hoping this would fix the problem, but it hasn't. So, to be safe, I just now uninstalled the IP-Blocklist package, verified that it and the CountryBlock packages are no longer showing up in my list of installed packages. I rebooted the system, went back into packages, verified I still do not see a package for CountryBlock or IP-Blocklist. I installed IP-Blocklist and then enabled it. As soon as I saved the change, I got the error again :(

tommyboy180

That's not right, lol. See if that file is mentioned in /tmp/rules.debug

Shuey

There is a section in my rules.debug file for CountryBlock. I'm assuming I can just delete out the entire section of the file that references the CountryBlock information, but I'm not sure how to do it (and I'm hoping there is a fairly easy way to do it from the shell without having to use something very foreign like Vi). I am a complete newb still when it comes to unix/linux, and I'm currently accessing my server through two hoops (SSH'd to my LAN from work to my Ubuntu server, then SSH'd from one of my Windows boxes on the LAN at home). You would think I'd be more than capable just based on that info, but I've had a lot of help with my network so far, lol.

Shuey

I got it! Since all I had to do was remove a few lines, I was able to find the info on how to navigate and work in Vi long enough to modify the file and I am now blocking IP's with IP-Blocklist!

Thanks Tom, appreciate the help!

What I can't figure out is why those lines were still in that file. That file gets deleted on system reboot and regenerated. Since you don't have the countryblock package then that shouldn't be happening unless….

Do you have any countrblock scripts located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d or /usr/local/pkg/pf ?

Shuey

Hey Tom, thanks for the info. Yep, there was a countryblock.sh file still left over in /usr/local/pkg/pf. And of course the countryblock section was back in the rules.debug file again. I deleted the countryblock script and removed the lines again in the rules.debug file and rebooted. IP-Blocklist is running properly again now :).

I used your spam list, http://www.tomschaefer.org/temp/pfsense/IP-Blocklist-ForumSpam.txt, and then created my own, it's small, but it's a start,
http://www.safetyservicesinc.com/spamlist/spamlist2.txt
and added it to IP Blocklist. When I started, the package reported
You are blocking 46182 Networks/IPs
I added about 25 ip's, but the number being blocked did not change. Did I do something wrong??

Your syntax looks fine. Remove the small list you made and save the changes. See the number it's displaying. Then add your small list again and save and see if the number changes. If not, we'll have to refer this one to Tom.

ljbowdish

Thanks
I thought maybe formatting was a problem, so I re-typed it. Probably shorter, too.
I did as you suggested. The before and after are images here.
I'm perplexed.
I thought about maybe d/l tom's file, and adding mine to the end, then saving so there is only 1 location to look at.

ljbowdish

Oh, an yes, I am running country block.

ljbowdish

I discovered that Cisco makes a list of the Top 100 spammers, for the last 24 hours.
You can export that list. Way cool.
Now, if I can only make my list work, I'm cooking with hydrogen ;D

Here's a link to the list in case anyone else wants it.

The two lists are added to ipfw.ipfw in /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists

Try adding just the one list and click save/update. See how many lines in that file
Now add both lists and click save/update. See how many lines in that file.

Is there a difference?

ljbowdish

There was not.
I'll try deleting both lists, then add one in, then delete it, then add both in and report back the difference if any.

ljbowdish

There must be something I'm wrong with my list, because when I added it in, all by itself, I'm blocking 0 IP's
I added to the list based on the stuff from the Cisco list, so it's more than the 25 I had this AM
Do they need to be sorted??

ljbowdish

found a semi-colon instead of a colon, but the results are the same.
RATS.

ljbowdish

/usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfw
is blank when I used my file.

tommyboy180

Your custom list, is it hosted on a webserver on the same lan as the pfsense router?

ljbowdish

yes. The custom list is on the web server that is behind the firewall.
Also, I signed up for I-Block list, and got their spam list, when I pasted in the link, in either p2p format or cidr format, nothing loaded.
