Country Block

[tommyboy180]

@marcelloc:

1.2.3 does not has Url table alias, so we can leave current version of countryblock and ipblocklist just for this release and release a new package for 2.0

My suggestion for package name is pf-blocker and on package description we say that its countryblock + ipblocklist.

pf-blocker. I'm sold.
Description: Block countries and IP ranges. Replaces Countryblock and IPblocklist

I'm liking how that sounds. Great work marcelloc! :)

I like it as well.
And thanks, both.

looking good!!

I did noticed their is still a table for countryblock and countryblockW. Not sure if that is left overs from my uninstall of countryblock.

;DpfBlocker 0.1.1 is out with: ;D

• Countryblock features

• Ipblocklist features

• network block to CIDR internal feature to maintain compatibility with I-Blocklist free lists

• many new options to choose what you want to block in and block out

This new package is awesome in my opinion!

TODO list:

• code 'Update frequency' option together with cron package to stay away from file hacks

• create a new tab for stats on what is blocked(maybe)

• wait fixed pkg_edit.php in pfsense 2.0.1 or 2.1 to do not need a checkbox for rowhelper description

[tommyboy180]

We also need a dashboard widget. We can query how many IP ranges in a pf table to display stats.

[marcelloc]

How countryblock widget works?

[tommyboy180]

in /usr/local/www/widgets/widgets

Basically you get the number if entries in the table to get the IP ranges

pfctl -T show -t countryblock |grep -v -c Z

Here is my working widget for version 2.4 and IPblocklist.

@require_once("guiconfig.inc");
@require_once("pfsense-utils.inc");
@require_once("functions.inc");

$ipblocklist_file = "/usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/ipblocklist.php";
$countryblock_file = "/usr/local/www/packages/countryblock/countryblock.php";

echo "echo"  ";
if (file_exists($ipblocklist_file)) {
	 echo "    ";
}
if (file_exists($countryblock_file)) {
	 echo "    ";
}
echo"  ";
echo"  ";
if (file_exists($ipblocklist_file)) {
	 echo "    ";
}
if (file_exists($countryblock_file)) {
	 echo "    ";
}
echo"  ";
echo"  ";
if (file_exists($ipblocklist_file)) {
	 ob_start();
	 $resultsIP = exec("tail -r /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/errorOUT.txt");
	 ob_end_clean(); 
	 if ($resultsIP == "") {
	 	echo "    ";
	 } else {
		echo "    ";
	 }
}
if (file_exists($countryblock_file)) {
	 ob_start();
	 $resultsCB = exec("tail -r /usr/local/www/packages/countryblock/errorOUT.txt");
	 ob_end_clean(); 
	 if ($resultsCB == "") {
	 	echo "    ";
	 } else {
		echo "    ";
	 }
}
echo"  ";
//echo"  ";
//if (file_exists($ipblocklist_file)) echo "    ";
//if (file_exists($countryblock_file)) echo "    ";
//echo"  ";
echo"

| IP-Blocklist";
	 ob_start();
	 $results = exec("/sbin/pfctl -s rules | grep -c ipblocklist");
	 ob_end_clean(); 
	 if ($results > '2') echo "![](/themes/{$g[)";
	 else
	 	echo "![](/themes/{$g[)";
	 echo " | Countryblock";
	 ob_start();
	 $results = exec("/sbin/pfctl -s rules | grep -c countryblock");
	 ob_end_clean(); 
	 if ($results > '0') echo "![](/themes/{$g[)";
	 else
	 	echo "![](/themes/{$g[)";
	 echo " |
| ";
	 ob_start();
	 $resultsIP = exec("/sbin/pfctl -T show -t ipblocklist |grep -v -c Z");
	 ob_end_clean();
	 echo $resultsIP;
	 echo " Networks";
	 echo " | ";
	 ob_start();
	 $resultsCB = exec("pfctl -T show -t countryblock |grep -v -c Z");
	 ob_end_clean();
	 echo $resultsCB;
	 echo " Networks";
	 echo " |
|  | ";
	 	echo "
";
	 	echo $resultsIP;
		echo "";
		echo " |  | ";
	 	echo "
";
	 	echo $resultsCB;
		echo "";
		echo " |
|   |   |

";

It's very basic.

Cool,

I'll take a look.

Maybe widget will be better then stats gui.

Errors:
topspammers Tab -> /usr/local/pkg/pfblocker_topspammers.xml does not exists on line 175

I think top pfblocker_topspammers.xml was left out of pfblocker.xml

 <additional_files_needed>http://www.pfsense.org/packages/config/pf-blocker/pfblocker_topspammers.xml
<prefix>/usr/local/pkg/</prefix>
<chmod>0755</chmod></additional_files_needed> 

Also do we want to limit the ipblocklist functionality to CIDR lists only? I took a poll on the package forums asking users if they wanted CIDR only or to have the normal PG2 lists. If we use CIDR only then we can eliminate future problems.

I was talking a look at your pfblocker_Range2CIDR function and it looks good but it's a long process for very large files like Level1 and Level2 lists.

[marcelloc]

Almost all free lists from ip-blocked are p2p, so I think we can suggest CIDR but keep p2p feature.

I will fix missing file and test rpc sync.

[marcelloc]

topspammers call fixed.

Can you test how many time does rules apply takes when you do not change urls?

[tommyboy180]

iblocklist.com lets your download all lists in p2p, dat, and CIDR now. I talked with fakhir not that long ago about the ip-blocklist package and moving to CIDR.

[marcelloc]

when I choose cidr format, all lists become 'subscription'.

[tommyboy180]

Copy the list URL and manually change the fileformat to "cidr". It works for all links.
If we can figure out how to get fetch to follow links then our users won't have to input the direct URL anymore.

[marcelloc]

But there are other compatible lists, and custom lists can be done too.

I understand that CIDR is better.

I've tested level1 file and both(p2p and CIDR) gets errors while appying to pfsense.

The block2CIDR works very fine, the extra time you see is downloading time. I did a lot of tests before including it to pfBlocker.

[tommyboy180]

I didn't think about that. You're right.
I'll see if I can figure out why large lists are failing.

[tommyboy180]

The large lists take up the default memory space. I was able to overcome this in IPblocklist version 3.5 by adding:

set limit table-entries 900000

I put this at the top of rules.debug. You can enter any amount that you think will be big enough but 900000 should cover all scenarios.
Hopefully there is a smooth way to add this option to the rules.debug file.

I have no idea how to do this, but I will take a look on it.

For a stand alone use, all my tests went fine. tomorrow I will check sync problems.

All tests with pfBlocker, including sync between pfsenses boxes were sucessfull.

Did you liked the new options in gui? It was what you were thinking?

Great work!! I am having an issue tho: i'm getting this error with i click on the top spammers tab:

Warning: fopen(/usr/local/pkg/pfblocker_topspammers.xml): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/inc/xmlparse.inc on line 175

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/www/pkg_edit.php on line 418

I did go thru and removed every entry of countryblock and pfblocker in my config and file system before doing installing the package again.. same results

running:
2.1-DEVELOPMENT (i386)
built on Tue Sep 13 17:28:43 EDT 2011
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p4

P.S my last git sync was this morning

[marcelloc]

Reinstall the package, there was a missing file in pfBlocker.xml

I've fixed this few hours ago. Btw i'll test this in a vm.
