      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!

                        The countryipblocks.net removed the lists  :-[

                        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.

                                    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?

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

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

                                        On reinstall we always get the Reload status missing alias error: php: : New alert found: # unresolvable dest aliases
                                        This is because pfBlocker is disabled by default on install.

                                        if you click ACKNOWLEDGE ALL in the Package Installer window, you ended up with:

                                        Installation of  FAILED!

                                        Everything is fine and working after you enable pfBlocker.

                                          Please, remove custom alias before removing package.
                                          pfBlocker is just doing what you asked him to do (do not touch my rules).

                                          when you click ACKNOWLEDGE ALL you reload the page, and then get a 'reinstallation' error.

                                          This is not related to pfBlocker.

                                            I've pushed a fix in cron call to check if pfBlocker is enabled or not.

                                            if you have installed pfBlocker before now + 15 min, reinstall package.
