Does "Enable Alias Table Popup" work for anyone as if i untick it and save not only does it have no effect but the tick is back when i got back into the settings on the homepage?

Works fine for me. In past versions of pfSense I had issues with most of the widgets not saving their settings. It improved in later releases. I'm on 2.2.4 right now without issue.

@BBcan177:

To download from HE, you need to select the format as "html" or it will fail to download.

Disable this list for 24hrs as HE is denying access (rate-limiting) because you probably have this list attempting to download every hour using the wrong download format.

I came across this thread before attempting to make a new alias from HE data and made sure that HTML was selected before my first update and immediately received a 403 response. Just wondering if anyone else is using HE with any success.

I would love to keep it ticked. Alas, it keeps unticking itself.

Does the same on both Chrome and Safari on OS X (latest versions of each).

I have the following widgets on the homepage:

System Info, Interfaces, Services Status, Interface Statistics, Installed Packages, PFBlockerNG, Snort Alerts, Firewall Logs.

PFsense 2.2.4 full all other widgets seem to work fine.

Thanks

I have multiple forwarded ports in different aliases (some are tcp only and others are udp only). Is it possible to specify multiple aliases in "Enable Custom Port"?

Thanks

doktornotor

You should use one of the Alias list actions and create and manage your own firewall rules using those.

Pfblocker inserts the rule swith the name withpfB_Top_v4. Can I simply clone this rule in Firewall>Rules and specify my own alias?
This way I can reuse the list created by pfblocker. Will this cause a problem with pfblockerng?

When pfB_Top_v4 creates an Auto Firewall Rule, you can manually create another Rule and reference the same "pfB_Top_v4" table without issue…

Hello,

I have selected Germany in the Top20 list and defined it as Deny Inbound. However, snort is still picking up German ip address. Why isnt pfblocker blocking this ip address?

Ip address in snort

PfblockerNG

Firewall rules

Thanks

f34rinc

Trumee - Snort sees all traffic regardless of pfSense firewall rules. Even if you have zero allow inbound rules Snort still sees the attempted connection and will generate an alert block even if its already blocked by pfSense.

Does the ip4 txt file care about double ip's?
I mean if you have a txt:

1.2.3.4
2.3.4.5
1.2.3.4

will it work or does it require a unique list?
Also if a list exist:
192.168.1.200
192.168.1.0/24
does it work?

BBcan177

Enable "De-Duplication" in the General Tab. This will remove all duplication's (Including CIDR). If you already have lists downloaded, you can make that change and then execute a "Force Reload".

hi,

outstanding work. Just stumbled about a little problem. I'm using pfblockerNG in combination with CARP. Settings should be synced to configured backup server - which i'm not sure they really get. I can clearly find the rules pfblocker added on the WAN-tab - but on the secondary firewall i can neither find selected entries in the individual tabs nor do filter list under "IPv4"-tab get synced.

Am I doing something wrong - or must sees settings be performed additionally on the backup firewall?

Thank you very much =)

BBcan177,

Was finally able to do what you suggested. Got rid of those IBlock
lists, did not bother to see which list was causing the no internet
issue on reboot. Using your pfBlockerNG_import.php script, posted
here[0] by doktornotor and following superweasel's instructions[1]. No
more reboot issues.

For those that are going to use the pfBlockerNG_import.php script. There
are a few things you still need to do, after following superweasel's
instructions:

Firewall => pfBlockerNG => IPv4 tab

Edit each Alias/List Configuration to:

Enable the lists you want to use. Ie. 'State' to 'ON'.

And 'List Action' as needed.

Do not forget to 'Save' your changes. And also Force an Update and
Reload]; in:

Firewall => pfBlockerNG => Update tab

Once all that is done, will still need to adjust the feeds as they
change from time to time. Take a look at the error.log log file:

Firewall => pfBlockerNG => Logs tab

And this post[2] from BBcan177 for some hints. When done repeat the
Force [Update, Reload].

Is pfBlockerNG_import.php hosted somewhere and kept up to date? A search
did not bring up anything.

Would like to Thank all for the information in this thread. Specifically
for the information above, BBcan177, doktornotor and superweasel.
Especially BBcan177, without whom this would not be possible.

Thank You
