      Just checked it again and it stopped running and is not even enabled anymore and I can get to sites again - I have this error above SAVE.

      Current Status = NOT running
      /tmp/rules.debug:119: cannot load "/usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfw": No such file or directory
      You are blocking 0 Networks

      When I try to restart or enable and SAVE the message comes up again and the enable box is deselected.

        The logs can be ignored. There is a lot of output that is a little confusing. You get a lot of errors because there are several different installs out there and the package is built for stability on multiple install types. Those errors are repeated because the firewall filter gets regenerated when a system change occurs, which can be very frequent depending on your setup, and countryblock runs its script to ensure it's running when this happens.

        Basically if it says it's running and there are networks being blocked then it's working 100% because it queries that directly from the firewall rules.

        Ok, thanks. I will 'ignore' the entries in the system log and look at the package page for its status.

            Thanks! I updated the package (by using the pkg button in the Installed Packages menu). Seems to work fine for now.

            Can you tell me more about the Widget? I'm running 2.0 Release, but I can't find the widget in the "add-list" in the dashboard…

              If you did a re-install from the menu then you will need to uninstall and re-install. That may be why you don't have the widget.

              FYI everyone: The re-install package button does not work for a reason. You will need to uninstall and re-install.

                  Does this plugin makes any sense on a pfsense installation with no inbound WAN rules?
                  When everything incoming is being blocked, does this package add something?
                  Does it work outbound?

                  And secondly, where can i find the logs for this package, Enable logging is checked?

                    This questions have been answered many time in this topic. Please search next time.

                    It does make sense. You can't prevent a DDoS/DoS attack even if you block all incoming. What about port scans, or any unwanted traffic? This does that.
                    It does block outbound. Logs are stored in the firewall logs.

                    There are 2 billion users connected to the Internet - China is the leader and U.S. is second

                    There are about 65 million malware out in the wild (Mobile malware, Botnet infections, and new malware every sites per day)
                    We are 95% unprotected - Security is not being built into apps etc.

                    Counutryblock gives you that much more power to help secure your network even more. Turn that 95% unprotected into 30% unprotected.

                      Hi,

                      I am using i386 release and installed Country Block today the first time:

                      I got this in System Logs:

                      In countries I selected all countries but mine (Germany), then I clicked on "commit countries" and then enabled county block and then "Save/Update"

                      On the bottom I see this:

                      Current Status = NOT running
no IP address found for __csrf_magic
You are blocking 0 Networks

                      I am using two WAN and one LAN.
                      WAN1 and WAN2 is in LoadBalancing (if this is neccessary).

                      Am I doing something wrong ?

                        Ok, thanks for that response. I should have searched better.

                        An issue I encountered is the following;

                        The package regularly stops working, or doesn't work at all after restarting.
                        It says it is enabled and all, but I still can access websites form blocked countries.
                        When it does work it does not log it's actions in the regular firewall log?

                        I am blocking 212 countries, just for testing purposes.

                        edit:

                        Two minutes after enabling the Country Blocker service it just stops.

                        Oct 7 22:15:49	root: Countryblock was found not running

                        edit 2:

                        Upon stopping and starting the service again, this shows up in the log:

                        edit3:

                        After a night of sleep I reinstalled my whole pfsense box.
                        Coutry Block still refuses to work.
                        The message below:

                        Current Status = NOT running
no IP address found for __csrf_magic

                        I tried to enable it several times, like in the howto, and did reboot the box.
                        It displays this in the system log:

                        php: /packages/countryblock/countryblock.php: The command 'sh execute.sh' returned exit code '1', the output was '0 table deleted. 77 16 rm: /tmp/rules.debug.tmp: No such file or directory rm: /tmp/rules.debug.tmp: No such file or directory 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123'

                        I am getting the feeling this package doesn't like me or is just way to much beta.

                          I had to do a fresh install of 2.0 to get Country and IP Blocker to stop giving messages in the system log.  After that it seems like Country Blocker is working okay; I am still getting this message in the system log Oct 8 08:04:06 php: /packages/countryblock/countryblock.php: The command 'rm lists/temp' returned exit code '1', the output was 'rm: lists/temp: No such file or directory'

                          I've tested previously posted sites and they are getting blocked.  For me it seems to work better after a clean 2.0 install.

                          ** Update **
                          I am getting these messages on both servers though and the Country Block still says it is running; if I say SAVE/UPDATE it starts working again.

                          Oct 8 19:18:36 root: Countryblock was found not running
                          Oct 8 19:18:29 root: Countryblock was found not running

                          Update  After telling it to SAVE/UPDATE the service stopped again… does it seem related to the alarms?

                            Hello,

                            My machine is a Celeron 1.7GHz with 256MB ram only. I am getting the error below:

                            Current Status = NOT running
                            /tmp/rules.debug:87: cannot define table countryblock: Cannot allocate memory
                            You are blocking 0 Networks

                            What are the minimum prerequisites for 0.2.4 version?

                            Thanks

                              There are no minimum requirements; It all depends on your usage. You can either minimize countryblock's usage or expand your RAM.

                                Sorry… An memory module was badly inserted, giving only 128MB of ram to system.

                                I am wondering how much ram memory CIDR table needs to get loaded.

                                  Like I said it depends on your usage. If you block a small country range then you won't need much RAM at all, but if you're blocking large ranges then you will need more RAM.

                                    Thanks for the info. Usually I let only my country unblocked (Brazil), leaving all other countries checked. Despite this, I can't understand why I have 512MB of swap, and it is not used during table loading. Could you explain how loading is done (it is a RAM-only function)?

                                    Thank you for your time.

                                      pfctl is used to inspect every packet that enters and exits FreeBSD. If those rules were on the disk in swap then you can image how slow inspection would take. Your entire network would slow to a crawl. This is why RAM is the only respectable option with our current technology.

                                          WARNING: Adding a heads up here, I wasn't able to fully troubleshoot the issue given it was repeatedly crashing both firewalls in a production setup, but something about the way this package modifies PF tables is able to cause recurring kernel panics in some circumstances. Seems to be only with larger rulesets given I've only seen it once (on a box that has a couple dozen interfaces and around 400 NAT and firewall rules). In this case, the package was installed but wasn't actually configured. But it still mucks with the ruleset and tables, and something it does causes serious stability problems with recurring panics that were immediately resolved by uninstalling the package.

                                          Sorry I don't have any more to go on than that, tommyboy. If you create about 20 dummy VLANs, assign those as interfaces, and add a bunch of rules, you may be able to easily replicate. I haven't tried.

                                          Also the way it modifies the rules file outside the normal rules process is really, really ugly and prone to race conditions. That may be the cause of the panics, or related at least. Short of using the existing package hooks in filter.inc, which aren't ideal for this kind of setup but certainly better than trying to manually hack the rules, I don't know of a perfect alternative.

                                          I would NOT run this on any critical production system until that problem can be tracked down and resolved in the package. Those with small rulesets are probably safe given no one else seems to have seen this. But as always, take caution with packages labeled as anything other than stable, beta packages have the possibility of regressing the stability of your entire system to beta quality or worse.

                                            Thank you for the warning! I will look into it. I know it's kind of crazy how the rule sets are modified but I was never able to get countryblock working any other way. What would be a good package or file to look at that would help me with this problem?
