There are three IP lists that contain 'Tor Exit Nodes' that can be used in pfBNG without any code changes :

Thanks for that BB. I'd been trying https://www.dan.me.uk/torlist/ and was seeing Download FAIL messages. I'll tinker a bit more.

Hi cyberbot/taryezveb,
Are you running a Nano version/Ramdisk or a full installation of pfSense?
Full install here.
On reboot is there a delay in the Reboot process? ie - Stuck on "Loading Firewall … " in the pfSense boot console screen?
None that can recall. pfSense boots normally, will verify again tho. Once the new monitor arrives, since the previous one failed and do not have any at the moment. Not much luck with hardware lately :)
After pfSense Boots, does the widget show entries in the packet column? or is it all blank?
It is all blank, will verify again tho.
When you hover-over the Firewall Rules for pfBNG, does each Firewall rule popup a table showing the IP addresses?
Will report back on this, did not think to try that.
Run the following commands when there are issues, and report back with the output.
/sbin/pfctl -vvsTables | grep -A4 'pfB_'
ls -lah /var/db/aliastables/*Will do. Not sure when I can report back, whether forced by power outage or just by rebooting. Need to find the right time to do this, if not forced too. Some people here complain when they can not connect to the internet; I'd rather avoid that if possible ;)
Also having another issue with an alias, that fails to load. Do not think this is the cause of or related to the reboot issue. Since pfBlockerNG keeps on working regardless after it is restarted as explained before. Can supply some details of that now or would it be better to deal with one issue at a time?
Thank You

For this particular list I ended up setting a cron job on one of my RaspberryPi's to fetch the list on schedule and then fetch it from the Pi to pfBlockerNG.

BBcan177,
A reboot was forced on me; power went out again :) So can answer some of your questions:
On reboot is there a delay in the Reboot process? ie - Stuck on "Loading Firewall … " in the pfSense boot console screen?
Can not answer this for sure, still have no monitor. Like said before do not recall any such issue.
After pfSense Boots, does the widget show entries in the packet column? or is it all blank?
Can verify, all blank.
When you hover-over the Firewall Rules for pfBNG, does each Firewall rule popup a table showing the IP addresses?
All blank as well.
Run the following commands when there are issues, and report back with the output.
/sbin/pfctl -vvsTables | grep -A4 'pfB_'
ls -lah /var/db/aliastables/*Here is the output of both commands, before restarting pfBlockerNG:

Updating: pfB_TBG
no IP address found for /31pfctl: cannot load /var/db/aliastables/pfB_TBG.txt: No error: 0Hi taryezveb,
What lists are in this pfB_TBG alias? Can you send me the full URLs that are part of this Alias? It seems that the IP parser failed to convert one line as it is showing "no IP address found for /31" and pfctl is failing. IBlock lists are renowned for adding strange IPs and once i review the list, I can patch this up.
It would be good if FreeBSD pfctl had some error checking ability. As any error in the alias file can cause the whole packet fence to fail.
If you see this issue again, please copy the /var/db/aliastables/pfB_TBG.txt file and forward to my email address which is in the General Tab of pfBNG. I would need to see the file before you perform a Reload.
Thanks!

Thanks for that BB. I'd been trying https://www.dan.me.uk/torlist/ and was seeing Download FAIL messages. I'll tinker a bit more.
For this particular list I ended up setting a cron job on one of my RaspberryPi's to fetch the list on schedule and then fetch it from the Pi to pfBlockerNG.
Its strange that you guys are seeing errors in downloading this list from www.dan.me.uk?
If you load that URL in a browser does it fail to download also? Did you try http instead? I use this list in several other boxes and have not seen anyone else complain about that list.
-
I had this error… and now I think maybe because:
Umm… You can only fetch the data every 30 minutes - sorry. It's pointless any faster as I only update every 30 minutes anyway.
If you keep trying to download this list too often, you may get blocked from accessing it completely.
(this is due to some people trying to download this list every minute!) -
I am using custom inbound IPv4 lists (spamhaus, DShield, etc) set to Deny_Inbound with a custom port alias set up. When I look at the alerts, it shows entries for ports that I do not have specified to block.
When using "Adv. Inbound Settings", you need to set the "Custom Protocol" setting. If you use "any" it will act on all ports, suggest to use "TCP/UDP" or as required.
Apparently it is no longer blocking inbound spam from my custom list?

Please post your "custom list". Plus how's that list configured in pfBNBG. Noone can advise with no info.

It was working until I changed the setting he advised. I've changed it back for now.

When you add IPs to a custom list, did you select "Update Custom List" at the bottom of the Alias Settings when you saved it (and ran a Force Update)? If you don't select this option, then it will only update the alias as per the defined Frequency setting of the Alias.
Its best to look at the Aliastable to see if the IP is actually in the table. You can view the table by hovering over the Alias in the Widget or Firewall Rules. You can also view the table in Diagnostics: Tables: in the pfSense GUI.
I will also be submitting a PR for a small bug. The details of the workaround can be found in the following link:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg526272#msg526272 -
Using pfB_TOR rules (List: Blut_Tor), it blocks IP 162.244.25.186, the host is 0.ca.pool.ntp.org, Whats the reason to block LAN to access this IP with port 123?
-
The reason is that you configured it so…
-
The reason is that you configured it so…
Well, whats the pfB_TOR rules for then? since its turned on by default. why we need to block these IPs if they are good, no harm?
-
There is NO list turned on by default, anywhere. The blocklist simply lists tor exit nodes. You do not need to block anything. Simply stop using the "offending" blocklist to block outbound traffic, or whitelist the IP, or whatever.
-
Hello everyone,
I'm new to pfblockerng and I want some sugestions from you guys.
Which list could be useful for a home use scenario with no open ports, just outbound traffic is important.
I'm also interested in blocking adverts with pfblockerng. Is there a way to use the easylist from ADBlock Plus ?
Which lists are you using actual? And where do I get them?
Thanks for any advice.
Best regards
