Country Block
-
Cron for the updates?
-
use cron package instead of editing /etc/cront for lists updates…

Great work so far on the pfblocker package. I currently have a problem with it. I had countryblock installed and working previously. I removed that package and then installed the pfblocker package. The widget says that it is blocking networks but it comes up with a fail to load list message in the syslog.

Post here the countries you selected.
I will check the script.

I tired various countries, I get the same result when I select whitelist. I get the same result with all the countries. I have selected one from top spammers and one from south america. I also noticed that when i select one country from a tab then i can not unselect it. I can only select other ones. Using Chrome.

I found the error.
It's fixed now.

tommyboy,
Instead of editing /tmp/rules.debug, i will 'patch' filter.inc file with table-entries when clients choose to increase table.
I will also write some code to alert user when table gets larger then default limit.
-
That sounds like a good solution. We can use sed to insert the line to 'patch' and remove the line to 'unpatch'
-
I don't believe this:
Look what i found in filter.inc after coding everything…
set limit table-entries {$config['system']['maximumtableentries']}
it was all time in front of our noses :D
I'll fix the code and relase a new version..
-
PfBlocker 0.1.3 is out.
Main improvement:
Check network list size before applying rules. If lists are bigger then table size, pfBlocker sends a warning to user and suggest new value for table size.
-
tommyboy,
I've started a new topip for pfBlocker, if you don't mind.

Pfblocker???

Pfblocker???
yes, countryblock evolution started after this post from cmb
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,25732.msg218002.html#msg218002
take a look.

Pfblocker???
pfblocker will combine IP-Blocklist and Countryblock into a single package. It is going to be officially more stable than any release of Countryblock and IP-Blocklist thanks to all the hard work of marcelloc!

That is awesome! I didn't even see that. Glad you caught it.

Who came up with the idea for this??? ;)

The first goal was to Fix countryblock. Everything after this was 'forum brainstorm'.

Tommyboy, don't know if you are still reading this. I have pfSense 2.0 release with the Country Block package. I didn't 'upgrade' to pfBlocker yet.
Today I did an upgrade from pfSense 2.0 Release to 2.0.1 Release. During reboot, all packages are reinstalled. But, it loops in removing/installing Country Block:Cleaning up...

Do you have an other way of removing the package. I don't want to do a complete new install...

That's really strange. I tested on 2.0.1 but it was a fresh install. I didn't test upgrade from 2.0 to 2.0.1.
Manually remove the package. Remove the package from your config file and also from /usr/local/pkg
Try to re-install after everything is removed and after reboot.Tommyboy, don't know if you are still reading this. I have pfSense 2.0 release with the Country Block package. I didn't 'upgrade' to pfBlocker yet.

Country IP Blocks (countryipblocks.net) is now moving to a paid subscription model and their "free" tables will now be out of date by the time they're made free.
Perhaps Country Block could start getting its data from http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/ instead?

Anyone have any solid experience with those lists? It's a lot of work to maintain highly accurate country IP lists, which is why Country IP Blocks is going to a paid subscription model to keep it sustainable, and I have serious doubts if the other available options will be well maintained for the same reasons Country IP Blocks has found it unsustainable to strictly give away access (I've spoken to them via phone and email several times over the past few months).
