      @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.

        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. ;)

            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

              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

                  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.

                    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?

                      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.

                        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  :(

                          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!

                                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.

                                            Nothing  :)

                                            As we only use pfsense's framework components, interface selection includes loopback.

                                            If you select just loopback, pfBlocker send you a warning.
