      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 …..!!!

      pfBlockerWAN Floating
      pf BlockerWAN Whatever

        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.

                        Just released version 0.1.4.6 with fixes in float rules check and about section in gui.

                        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?

                          Nothing  :)

                          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!
                            -------------------------
                            Installation halted.
                            
                            

                            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.

                                      I'm running Peerblocker on a local windows xp machine.
                                      Is is possible to have a stripped down pfsense server - to do the same job as peerblocker (http://www.peerblock.com/) ?

                                      Or should I look else where ?

                                        It seems that peerblocker is another thing and meant for windows.

                                        Unless you convince a unix knowledgable to port it to unix i do not think you will have much success in that way.

                                          pfBlocker does the same job as peerblocker. pfBlocker replaces IP-Blocklist and IP-Blocklist was created to mimic peerblocker. You can use the same lists that you are using in peerblocker and apply them to pfBlocker. This way you get protection not just on a single machine but your entire network.

                                          pfBlocker is Peerblock for pfsense.

                                            We need a way to verify that PfBlocker is downloading lists properly and blocking. It should display the number of IP's being blocked from downloaded lists.
