PfBlocker
-
I've found a source of current country IP data yesterday and wrote a short Bash script to push it into pfBlocker.
It looks good but while cross-checking the data I found pfBlocker has a couple of outdated country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) codes.Also - I still want to find+vet a couple more data sources.
I'll post what I come up with and we'll see what everyone thinks.Did you take a look at the Maxmind GeoIP Country List. ~98% accurate.
I have also release a script to utilize country Blocking:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=78062.15Would be interested to see what you have come up with.
Maybe you can PM me a copy? Would also be interested in helping getting it off the ground.

Did you take a look at the Maxmind GeoIP Country List. ~98% accurate.
That was the site that had a .CSV file of IPs in ranges, right?
I think I saw somewhere in the thread that pfBlocker will work with ranges - something I didn't know.However, I prefer working w/ CIDR (I'd explain why if anyone cares) and am looking at CIDR sources right now.
I'll give another look at Maxmind GeoIP if my 'Plan A' doesn't work out.

Here is a sample.
Its all in one file, and its not too hard to convert to CIDR and break it down in the XX Country Codes with some grep and awk commands.

I'll PM you the script to d/l+extract the country IPs into .txt files as soon as I puzzle it out.

Hi, does anybody know what triggers the reset of the pfBlocker's dashboard packet count? It would be much more useful if it only cleared when I clear the counter. Right now it just seems to clear the packet count randomly.
Thanks,
Kevin -
anything that reloads your rules/filter will do it. look for check_reload_status: Syncing firewall in your system log

HI, for those who want to test an updated country list from a new source before I try to update it on package install, follow these steps on console
cd /usr/local/pkg /usr/bin/fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/pfblocker/Africa_cidr.txt /usr/bin/fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/pfblocker/Asia_cidr.txt /usr/bin/fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/pfblocker/Europe_cidr.txt /usr/bin/fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/pfblocker/North_America_cidr.txt /usr/bin/fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/pfblocker/Oceania_cidr.txt /usr/bin/fetch http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/pfblocker/South_America_cidr.txt php /usr/local/www/pfblocker.php ucAfter this, access pfblocker gui and save config again.
You can check applied networks/cidrs on diagnostics -> tables

Hi Marcello,
This updates correctly. What is the source of the Country code files if you don't mind sharing?
Thanks.

If you guys are interested I have a working BETA for pfBlocker that incorporates features that lots of us would like to see in a new release of pfBlocker. :)

Can't imagine anyone would be intested in that. ;)
Oh wait…. -

Please share. :-D I would love to see this package get a facelift and some TLC. Besides Snort this is one of the must have packages imo.

They say a Picture is worth a 1000 words, so I will post 4 pics.
I have a few fellow members currently helping to Beta test the code. So far so good. I would like to change the behavior of the Rules Creation and the Loading of the Tables in my next round of changes to the pfBlocker Code.
Any programming help would also be appreciated to help expedite the process…. ;)

I can't load any list into pfBlocker that is bigger than 10 MB: it crashes with an out if memory error, even if I choose the Alias creation.

Which Blocklist is that large? Can you post the url? or is this an "Alias" that has multiple Lists within?

I have an I-BlockList paid account; it allows me to build a custom list which is a "compilation" of other available lists. I called this list "torrent", as it is composed by BlueTack Level-1, etc.
Their system generates a custom URL. Then I can use this URL to feed, for example, PeerBlock. The Windows program loads this list flawlessly. I expected that pfBlocker would handle the same list with no problems.

Some of the IBlock lists are not formatted the Same. I know the IBlock Adstrack and the IBlock Prime list have some incompatible characters that will cause pfBlocker to fail.
Try to remove one list at a time to determine which one is failing.

If I load the same lists - one for each row in the pfBlocker pfSense GUI - the package doesn't give the error and works properly. But this is a very tedious and error prone method.

Then the issue is with the total size of the Single List. Can you break it down into 2-3 smaller Main Lists?
