PfBlocker

[Supermule]

Its currently set at 200.000 table entries…and 100.000 tables...

[kilthro]

increase it way up. Thats most likely the problem. Its not going to affect the firewall negatively. You see where mine is set and all runs just fine and I dont get those errors anymore.

[Supermule]

Whats your maximum tables and table entries??

[kilthro]

Attached everything on that page. I didnt touch anything else. Left it at default.

[Supermule]

Thx!

I have pfBlocker loading a list from the following url:
http://www.dnsbl.manitu.net/download/nixspam-ip.dump.gz

I decompressed the .gz to look at it and found text in the following format:

2013-01-21T20:15+0100 78.39.223.180
2013-01-21T20:15+0100 49.202.135.218
2013-01-21T20:15+0100 213.108.75.31
...

I have 2 systems that handle this list fine.
One other system scrambles the file content - loads nonsense IPs the table - is why I peeked inside the .gz

The thing is, I thought pfBlocker had to have the IP addr/cidrs at the beginning of the line.  Looks like I'm wrong.

In what format(s) does pfBlocker need it's IP data?

@LinuxTracker:

It loks for ip addresses using preg_match, if you can edit it to remove ip date, it may help.

@marcelloc:

The list loads fine on two systems; now I know why.

The system that scrambles the data has 27 lists loaded.
It's probably just reacting to all the abuse I heap upon it.

As always, thank you for your insight.

The real main issue is even on last update 2.1-BETA1 (today), pfblocker still doesn't comes up as ENABLED.

Everytime after update I need to go there and manually enable myself.  ::)

Pfblocker uninstall script will always disable the service to avoid aliases/rules issues.

It's a feature, not an issue  ;)

Hi, I added support to insert portlist file. this way peoples can customize installations with pre defined rules from their web sites.

you can deploy port list file with adding #PORT_LIST_PF text to begin of file.

i hope you will include this changes to next release and it will helpful to others.

example port list file: safeports.txt

#PORT_LIST_PF
21#ftp
22#ssh
25#smtp
53#dns
67#dhcp
80#http
110#pop
443#https
587#new smtp
1433#sql server
3306#mysql
3389#rdp

replace bellow code in your /usr/local/pkg/pfblocker.inc

add this function to after pfblocker_Range2CIDR function

function pfblocker_Range2Ports($port_min, $port_max) {
	#function called without any args
	if ($port_min == "" || $port_max == "")
		return "";
	#function called with same ip in min and max
	if ($port_min == $port_max)
		return $port_min;
	$bas=intval($port_min);
	$start_port+=1;//skip first value because its already processed
	$res="";
	$end_port=intval($port_max);
	for($i=$start_port;$i<=$end_port;$i++) {
		$res.="$i\n";
	}
	if($res!="") 
		return $res;
}

So that way Pfblocker only works on specified ports and not on all??

[asbirim]

No, not like that,

this way you can add port alias to firewall or just block ports

[marcelloc]

@asbirim:

On current version, you can use alias only option and create your own rules using, port aliases, connection limit, limiter, etc, etc ,etc.

[elterrible]

thanks for the great package.  have been playing around with it for a couple months now, but just realized something a little odd.  i have a few iblocklist and linuxtracker lists, but i've never seen them update (at least the system log doesn't say so).  anyone else have the same issue?  i know the iblocklist lists are updated weekly at least and linuxtracker used to update his twice a week.  any help would be much appreciated.

[marcelloc]

What update frequency did you applied to this list?

Can you install cron package and check if pfblocker schedules are there?

[elterrible]

the lists (alias only, with corresponding firewall rules) are set to update every day.  there seem to be two jobs in cron that relate to this:

0  *  *  *  *  root  /usr/local/bin/php -q /usr/local/www/pfblocker.php cron
30  12  *  *  0,2,4  root  /usr/bin/nice -n20 /etc/rc.update_urltables

and here are snippets of the logs that relate to those jobs:

Feb 17 12:30:53 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: pfBlockerlevel1 does not need updated.
Feb 17 12:30:53 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: pfBlockerNorthAmerica does not need updated.
Feb 17 12:30:53 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: Starting URL table alias updates
Feb 17 12:30:01 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: Sleeping for 51 seconds.
Feb 17 12:30:01 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: Starting up.
Feb 16 23:00:23 php: : [pfblocker] pfblocker_xmlrpc_sync.php is starting.
Feb 16 23:00:23 check_reload_status: Reloading filter
Feb 16 23:00:23 check_reload_status: Syncing firewall
Feb 16 23:00:01 php: : Starting pfBlocker sync process.

the update_urltables job has never said that a list was updated.  and the pfblocker sync has only repeated those four lines every day.

thanks.

Hi

I have added the package "Ads" and want to block it, but on this site: http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/forum.php for example i can see the ads.

Is there a mistake by me, or anythign else?

[mint64]

why does pfBlocker set it's rules in LAN instead of WAN? or is it just me? I'm asking because the Ip's that i want to block still connect to my pfSense machine and i want to stop that.
