      I'm emailing to I-Blocklist maintainer to ask him if he could implement a deduplication feature in the customized lists section. For now, I'll be happy if the pfBlocker package could handle a memory increase by itself. I don't want to mess with file editing in an appliance.

        Not a bad idea.

              It is being very actively forked, we will just have to wait for an announcement from the author doing the update… Or, you could read this thread more carefully.  ;D Did you read the thread I posted to you Panz?  :-*

                          I really like the idea of blocking entire countries that my network has no business connecting to and put together a script to update pfBlockers country CIDR lists with the lists available from IPdeny.com

                          Edit - The script didn't work as intended and has been taken down

                          The download is at the bottom of http://legoclan.com/pfsense/  all feedback is welcome

                              Hi f34rinc,

                              This will update the ISO files for pfBlocker but it doesn't update the XML Continent Files (ie - Africa) with the changes made to the Country Names. So there could be some inconsistencies.

                              There are files named

                              Africa_cidr.txt that have this type of header:

                              Continent: Africa

                              Country: Reunion

                              ISO Code: RE

                              Total Networks: 245

                              These files are used by this command to rebuild the XML files based upon the 6 Continent Files.

                              /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/pfblocker.php uc

                                This error doesn't seem to be related to Country Blocking. Maybe its one of your Lists that is failing? Which lists are you using?

                                  Thank you BBcan177 I don't believe I have the skill set to accomplish this

                                  Edit - I took the country list of top spammers from http://www.projecthoneypot.org/spam_server_top_countries.php and made a script to make my own replacement for the pfBlocker top spammers list.  Please use the link from my previous post above.

                                    Hi there,
                                    Total newbie to Pfsense here. I have installed Pfblocker but and added a few countries to block. It is enabled, logging enabled and "deny inbound" is selected for the countries I chose. When I look at the status i see that the status is a red arrow (down). Am I missing something?
                                    Thanks

                                      PfBlocker will not add an Inbound Rule if there are no other rules on the WAN. So you just need to create a dummy rule and it will populate the Auto Rules.

                                        Being a eager to learn newbie, how and where would I create a dummy rule. Sorry if this has been asked before.

                                        Update: Got it working. Dummy rule created on the wan did the trick. I disabled the rule after pfblocker started working and all is still good.

                                        Cheers!

                                          You need to goto the Firewall rules Tab and create a dummy Block Rule on the Wan interface. If you hover over the pfBlocker Inbound rule that was created. You can use one of those IPs to copy/paste into the dummy rule.

                                          If you edit the inbound rule. It will give you an idea on how to configure the new WAN Block Rule.

                                            Once pfblocker is working can I delete the dummy rule I created. Also, how does the list of ip addresses get updated?

                                            Thanks!
