      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...

            Hi,

            No using TOP20.

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

            Thanks.

              Hi

              I'm receiving this error:

              The pfSense box has 4Gb ram and are at 7%.

              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…

                    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.

                      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

                        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 ]

                        [ http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=dufcxgnbjsdwmwctgfuj&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz&username=MyUserName&pin=MyPinCode ]
                        ** 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.

                          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, 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…

                                    That was my solution. :)

                                      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

                                        Hi,

                                        Are there same way to get Alerts auto-refresh with one filter applied saved?

                                        Thanks.

                                            From pfBlockerNG General tab scroll down to Rule order and change it to
                                            |pfSense Pass/Match | pfB_pass/Match | pfB_Block/Reject|

                                            Click save and go check your rule order it should be the way you want it
