PfBlockerNG
-
The suppress alias is visible in normal pfS aliases list (pfBlockerNGSuppress). Also, works only for /24 and /32.
Any of the Alias list actions are for manually created rules only. No auto rules will be created for these.Thanks for clarifying this, Dok ;D
Why doesn't it create the rules automatically? On the todo-list?
-
No, definitely not on todo list, it's a feature. If you want auto rules to pass traffic, use the list action Permit {Inbound,Outbound,Both}.

I have searched the forums for a couple of hours, forced update, forced cron, reload reload, and even rebooted - still have this error. Does anyone know how I might be able to resolve this?
Thanks

Hi SkyHawk,
Try to Disable "Keep Setting" and Disable "pfBlockerNG", then hit "Save"… This will do a full clear of all the files. Re-apply "Keep" and Re-Enable pfBNG, followed by a "Force Update" and see if that clears the discrepancy...

Hi Mr. Jingles,
When you click on the "+" Icon to suppress an IP, it will clear that IP from the pfSense Alias Table that originally contained the IP. It then adds that IP to a pfSense Alias called "pfBlockerNGSuppress". When the lists are downloaded, any IP in this Alias will be suppressed. So it does not generate a Firewall Rule.
You can only suppress a /32 or a /24 Block… So if in the Alerts tab, you see the Alert was blocked by a /19 for example, you will need to put the IP that you want to allow into a "Permit Outbound" Alias (Custom Box entry). The order of the Rules is important, so that you will require this Permit Outbound Rule to be above the Block rules. You can change the order of the Rules in the "Rules Order" Setting in the "General Tab"

Thank you BBcan177 this needs to be on a sticky or something. I did as you suggested; then after Re-apply "Keep" and Re-Enable pfBNG I hit "Save" followed by a "Force Update" and poof - the error was resolved.

Thank you, BBCan177!
I try install pfBlockerNG in my firewall and config block some range IP.
I force update but it's not update anything and cannot download some range list.
It just show result:
" No Updates required.
CRON PROCESS ENDED
UPDATE PROCESS ENDED"
and
"===[ Aliastables / Rules ]================================No Changes to Firewall Rules, Skipping Filter Reload
No Changes to Aliases, Skipping pfctl Update "
So, Could you tell some way to pfBlockerNG can update, please!
Thanks. -
Hi Kytran,
In the Alias settings, did you configure the "Update Frequency"? Which Lists are you trying to use? Did the lists download initially?
Cron will execute each hour, the package will check each alias to see if the "Update Frequency" setting is within the current hour, and if so it will perform an update. The message "No Updates required" means none of the defined Aliases require to be updated at this particular Hour interval.

Hi BBcan177,
I chose some country to block, but not config list action yet, I change config and it's can update list alias.
Thanks! -
BB :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
I will respond later with some useless text, but this one is not useless ( ;D ): I am amazed by your package, to me, while playing with it, it seems you've thought of some many things, and it is so fast. Your package to me is like the attached pic (and you know how I feel about these women.. ;D ;D ;D ).
Ciao BB,

Is there a known issue generating a custom list with an ip block of /8?
I tried 17.0.0.0/8 for all of Apple's servers but when I look at the table, I only see 17.0.0.0
When I tried 17.0.0.0/10, I see exactly 17.0.0.0/10 in the table.

Hi GoldServe, there is a small bug that I have fixed. I am putting together some other changes/features for version 1.07 and this will be included.
I will send you a PM shortly with a fix until v1.07 is released.

Thanks! I tried the patch and all is working…

Hi BB :D
I get this error constantly every day:
[ pfB_PRI3 Juniper ] Download FAIL [ 04/14/15 18:00:27 ]The list does exist, 'though:
https://www.juniper.net/security/auto/spam
It is set to html (by default).
Would your Royalty have any idea?
Thank you ;D

Hi Mr. Jingles,
Take a look at the pfblockerng.log and/or the error.log … Both of these log files are accessible in the Log Browser Tab. It should give you clues as to why its failed.

Hi,
Since I upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.2, I cannot change my NAT rules (well I can change them, but they do not apply).
In fact, I also change pfBlocker to pfBlockerNG.
And if I stop pfBlockerNG then my NAT changes are applied, I can make further NAT changes and they apply correctly.
As soon as I start pfBlockerNG, existing NAT settings are correctly applied, but I cannot change them (until I stop pfBlockerNG).My global settings include :
<inbound_interface>opt1,wan</inbound_interface> <inbound_deny_action>block</inbound_deny_action> <outbound_interface>lan,opt2</outbound_interface> <outbound_deny_action>reject</outbound_deny_action>And I have 1 IPv4 Alias :
<pfblockernglistsv4><config><action>Deny_Both</action> <cron>04hours</cron> <dow>1</dow> <aliaslog>enabled</aliaslog> <custom><custom_update>disabled</custom_update></custom></config></pfblockernglistsv4>Any idea about what could be wrong ?
Thanks,
Hakim -

As noted right above your comments, logs exist for a reason… ;)

I got that previous quote from error.log, wasn't awake enough to realize there was also info contained in another log:

No doubt about it, but in this case, no clue in the logs (in fact nothing is logged - on pfBlockerNG side when I made a change in the firewall / NAT UI settings).
On the System/General log I only have :
check_reload_status: Reloading filter
check_reload_status: Syncing firewall -
pfBNG has nothing to do with NAT. You simply most likely have some broken alias coming from the pfBNG lists you did set up that breaks the firewall rules altogether. Again, there are logs for a reason.
