PfBlocker

I agree that it doesn't make sense. What happens to one should happen to the other. But, did you see what I said about moving the rule to the bottom?

@WarMachine357:

I have found by moving the rule after the allow rules the wireless clients work. But, that doesn't seem right does it?

No it's not.

An outbound rule blocks access from any to pfblockerAlias.

If you have one rule that permits traffic, the deny rule will have no effect.

marcelloc

Maybe level3 list is blocking all your network and the pfsense keep-state for your machine gives you a false diagnostics.

Remove level3 list and see if it works.

HI everybody,

Version 0.1.4.5 is out with all planned features coded. 8)

main changes:

Dashboard widget includes package hit on applied aliases (10 second update)
Change in rule description to allow widget package count
Update frequency implemented

Important note for custom rules

keep aliasname in the beggining of rule description and do not end description with 'rule'.

Once again, thank you for testing this amazing new tool for pfsense. ;)

RonpfS

Just reinstalled.

Strange things happens when you switch to Alias
Description: pfblockerWAN Inbound rule will disappear
Description: pfblockerWAN Inbound will persist

Still showing 0 in the widget after 10 minutes

marcelloc

I've changed important note for better understanding.

Aliasname something rule will be removed by package.

To test rule packet count, block your own country While you are locally on your office/home.

DO NOT TRY THIS REMOTELY.

A less risky test is:

define your own country action as alias only
create a rule that deny outbound icmp access on lan.
include description as described
apply rules
Open Dashboard
try to Ping someone on your country.

I picked one host in the Diagnostics: Tables pfblocker table.
I can ping from LAN or pfsense no problem
Nothing is showed as blocked in the firewall logs !??

rules are on WAN only

Reject and log * 	* 	* 	pfBlockerWAN 	* 	* 	none 	  	pfBlockerWAN Outbound  
Block and log * 	pfBlockerWAN 	* 	* 	* 	* 	none 	  	pfBlockerWAN Inbound

marcelloc

If you are testing from lan, the blocking rule must be on lan.

It's a statefull firewall. All rules are set where communication begins.

RonpfS

So I should have

on the LAN
Reject and log * * * pfBlockerWAN * * none pfBlockerWAN LAN - Outbound
on the
WAN Block and log * pfBlockerWAN * * * * none pfBlockerWAN WAN - Inbound

I see the widget Packet number changes ;o)

How do you block the pfsense box from accessing these aliases?

marcelloc

On floating rules, but it may not show in widget.

Floating rules are not impelmented in this version but you can apply pfBlocker alias on it.

RonpfS

I just created a rule on the Floating tab…. and the Packets blocked are updated in the widget ;D

However the rule

Reject and log * * * pfBlockerWAN * * none pfBlockerWAN Floating Outbound

disappeared in the Floating tab after a save in pfBlocker …..!!!

same thing with

pfBlockerWAN Floating
pf BlockerWAN Whatever

bummer :(

marcelloc

As I told you, floating rules are not implemented but i'll try the same test here and see what happens.

Hi,

ok, reinstalled on nanobsd and boot is much better. Got a new problem though: While the genaral and top spammers pages look good, I get the below instead of country lists for the others. Example below. Country.txt seems to load at install though, have also reinstalled package and rebooted - no change. Hence the drop down lists are missing.

Thanks!

The countryipblocks.net removed the lists :-[
I will point it to files.pfsense.

[b]EDIT

Just did it.

wait 15 minutes and reinstall package.

Probably should not have users directly pull those lists anyhow, but keep them local and update them periodically. I have a feeling that too many people accessing their systems automatically may have been part of their decision to shut the service down.

marcelloc

Yeah, I'm doing it now.

@marcelloc:

Reinstalled, Floating rules are still there after a pfBlocker save, great ::)
Counter updates when pinging from pfsense box.
Counter is reseted on firewall rule changes.

When I select loopback interface, where does it put the rules?
