Hi, thanks for your quick answer,

The command gets the same of yours:

grep -h "^148.251." /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/* | grep '/'
148.251.195.0/24
148.251.88.0/24

148.251.195.0/24
148.251.88.0/24

Run the following commands to report all IPs listed in the 148.0.0.0 range…

cd /var/db/pfblockerng/deny
grep "^148\." * | grep '/'

Hi

grep "^148." * | grep '/'

Alienvault.txt:148.251.195.0/24
Alienvault.txt:148.251.88.0/24

(But I have disable/enable pfBlockerNG with keep settings cleared, and now are not blocking tcpiputils anymore)

Thanks.

pfBNG will only block what you configure it to block…

What does this command report:

host -t A tcpiputils.com

Maybe tcpiputils.com resolves to a different address for you?

All blocked IPs should be reported in the Alerts Tab.

You can also try:
Instead of completely disabling pfBNG, goto the LAN interface and toggle the Icon at the left for each pfBNG Rule one at a time to see which Rule is causing the block for you. Then go from there.

Hi,

$ host -t A tcpiputils.com
tcpiputils.com has address 148.251.153.34

Will try your suggestion:

Instead of completely disabling pfBNG, goto the LAN interface and toggle the Icon at the left for each pfBNG Rule one at a time to see which Rule is causing the block for you. Then go from there.

Thanks.

As a note, Germany is listed in the TOP20 List… Did you by any chance select all of the TOP20 to block? If so... This is why its blocked...

You can also create a pfBNG alias "Permit Outbound" and add the IPs that you want to bypass the Blocking rules to the "Custom list" at the bottom... Then set the Rules order to have this permit Rule above the Block/Reject rules...

heliop100

Hi,

No using TOP20.

Don't know what may be happened, now are not blocking.

Thanks.

Hi

I'm receiving this error:

Thanks.

Welcome to the club. This is not a package issue, also nothing to do with lack of physical RAM. It's core OS (probably kernel-level) stuff…

ok, thanks.

Damn IBlock again :)

Create a second IBlock Alias for this large IBlock list.

There seems to be an issue with having that many IPs in one Alias table.

doktornotor

Well, some of these lists would need splitting feature until the damned bug is found.

Having issues setting up pfBlockerNG on pfSense.
Seems like an easy to fix problem if I want to write code; so my assumption is that it is also an easy settings fix that I missed.

The problem is that when pfBlockerNG ingests a list, it finds spaces in the header and promptly aborts.
I've been testing several lists from iBlockList via both paid and public lists that demonstrate the same problem.

The first list I tried was the Pedophile list. Here is the excerpt from the txt file which is downloaded via a gz file.

List distributed by iblocklist.com

Sharing R@ygold Porn:1.9.98.0-1.9.99.255
Shares Various Illegal Porn:1.9.101.0-1.9.103.255

In pfBlockerNG, I have the following settings:

Alias Name: Pedophiles
List Description: i-BlockList Pedophiles
Format: gz
State: On
URL: http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=dufcxgnbjsdwmwctgfuj&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz&username=MyUserName&pin=MyPIN
Header: iBlock-Pedo
List Action: Deny Both
Update Frequency: Every 4 Hours
Weekly: Monday
Enable Logging: Enable
Enable Custom Port: Blank
Enable Custom Destination: Blank
Custom Protocol: any
IPv4 Custom Addresses: Blank
Update Custom List: Default

Running pfSense 2.2.4
pfBlockerNG 1.10

Here is the Log File from the UI

UPDATE PROCESS START [ 10/11/15 17:27:44 ]

** TERMINATED - Header contains Blank/International/Special or Spaces

===[ Aliastables / Rules ]================================

No Changes to Firewall Rules, Skipping Filter Reload
No Changes to Aliases, Skipping pfctl Update

UPDATE PROCESS ENDED

So my first thought is to do pre-processing on these and rehost them. That seems like a poor choice to just configuring the plugin correctly. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

@interos:

** TERMINATED - Header contains Blank/International/Special or Spaces

This error means that you entered invalid characters in the Header field. This is the field beside the URL in the IPv4 tab. Do not include spaces, or other special characters when naming the Header…

So remove the "-" in your Header: iBlock**-**Pedo
You can use "_" if you wish instead…

How-to block social networks with pfBlockerNG

Install package Cron
Install FreeBSD package manager https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages


pkg install whois

Add Cron task


/usr/local/bin/mwhois -h whois.radb.net -i origin as32934 | grep -Eo "([0-9.]+){4}/[0-9]+" | sort -n > /var/db/pfblockerng/facebook_cidr.raw
/usr/local/bin/mwhois -h whois.radb.net -i origin as49988 | grep -Eo "([0-9.]+){4}/[0-9]+" | sort -n > /var/db/pfblockerng/odnoklassniki_cidr.raw
/usr/local/bin/mwhois -h whois.radb.net -i origin as47541 | grep -Eo "([0-9.]+){4}/[0-9]+" | sort -n > /var/db/pfblockerng/vk_com_cidr.raw

My config
update lists once a week on friday

In pfBlockerNG add IPv4 List

With
List Action: Alias Match
And
Update Frequency: Weekly

Add firewall rule:

Thats it!

P.S.
If you already have list (for example) Top20 with List Action: Alias Match, processing of files will be skipped
Because nets from facebook_cidr.raw already in list Top20

Will be cool if developers add option to block networks by AS number
It is very useful

BBcan177

Yes v2.0 has whois support built-in… :)

BBcan177, first of all great work on this package, it's a must have to all pfsense boxes.

I found a bug! If we can call it a bug, it can be only miss configuration.

Lets assume this scenario. 2 Lists, 2 Interfaces.

I have list 1 (IP's)
1.2.3.4
5.6.7.8

I have list 2(IP's)
1.2.3.4
9.10.11.12

Both have IP 1.2.3.4

I make use of De-Duplication.

I set list 1 as Deny on Interface LAN1
I set list 2 as Deny on Interface LAN2

The logs are all messed up, because He can't find out that from what interface the block 1.2.3.4 is.

Best Regards

Hi soloam,

Its not a bug. When you use de-duplication, only one of the Lists will have IP 1.2.3.4
If you want a second list to skip de-duplication, you will need to use "Alias Native" and manually create the firewall rule…

Soloam

That was my solution. :)

Thank you BBcan177.

Hello all, just to make one question.

I what to see the complete list of IP's on a alias. So i'm looking at Diagnostics > Tables and selecting the alias table. When I do this I get a blank page and in pfsense the alert:


Crash report details:

PHP Errors:
[15-Oct-2015 15:55:19] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 115824003 bytes) in /usr/local/www/csrf/csrf-magic.php on line 157

Can any one tell me if it's possible to resolve this?

Thank you.
Best Regards
