IP-Blocklist

tommyboy180

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 ?

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.

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.

tommyboy180

When a list is hosted on a server that is on the same network as the router, you have to use the private IP address of the webserver for the list.

Fetch does not work when you tell pfsense to fetch from itself. Try modifying your link with the IP in the URL instead of the FQDN. I think you will find that your list will work now.

ljbowdish

YahOOO
I'm not certain which format worked, but I am no blocking 64 IP addresses.
Tommy, YOU ARE A HERO

Now, why won't the I-Block list list work??
Not as important as having my list work, I can assure you.
Thank you

Glad that's working.
So the I-Blocklist.com list url is http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=rynxmrknfjysesjtjlxy&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz&id=ljbowdish&pin=2728 but when you open this list in a browser it redirects to http://list.iblocklist.com/f/sgtbrdkspntjshbzbimf/rynxmrknfjysesjtjlxy.gz

So http://list.iblocklist.com/f/sgtbrdkspntjshbzbimf/rynxmrknfjysesjtjlxy.gz is your true URL. I-Blocklist uses multiple mirrors to host files and the first link is just a refferer to the mirror list. The second url is where that link takes you, to the .gz file.

The version of fetch on pfsense doesn't follow links intelligently which requires users to find the true URL. Pro tip: Open the I-Blocklist.com link in a browser and download the file. Go back into the download history and copy the URL where the download came from. This is the True URL.

A tip from a PRO. Thank you.

tommyboy180

lol. Perhaps one day I may get around this by using wget, but I don't like adding bells and whistles unless you need to. KISS is how you get stable packages.
Maybe fetch will get an upgrade one day, but until then the user will have to ensure they have the true URL. Once you have that URL, you don't have to worry about that list anymore.

Thank you for your time sir and your generous donation!
