PfBlockerNG v2.0 w/DNSBL

@Gé:
I have a local domain at a local bind9 I override my local domain in dnsresolver like I did before with dnsforwarder but now I can't do reverse lookups anymore.
Probably best to ask for help in the DNS forum section for this issue.
I could do that. This morning wen i woke up several wlan users complained they couldn't get on the internet. i can't see anything wrong in pfsense everything seems to work but i can't get to internet on wlan. To many trouble with DNSBL so i'm going to disable DNSBL and start using dns-forwarder again and pfblocker without dnsbl. I also had to stop using ram file system for /var and /tmp because here also trouble because /var was full all the time wen i use dnsbl. anyway to much problems.
Edit: Wlan problems seem to be that pfsense local freeradius server can't be reached anymore.
Sorry to hear that… Did you have DHCP registration enabled in the Resolver? There seems to be some underlying issues with that feature in the Resolver. DNSBL just does a Resolver reload to get its updates into the Resolver. Take a look at the resolver.log and the system.log to see what the error messages were... I added notes about this in the instructions posted in this thread.
I do not have a lot of extra configuration in the Resolver for overrides and thats why I suggest you ask in the DNS forum as those guys live that stuff every day and can better reply to that particular issue...
In regards to your issue with WLANs, make sure that those other LAN segments can see the DNSBL VIP or else DNSBL will not function. You can click the checkbox in the DNSBL tab to auto create a Floating firewall rule for that... But also make sure there are no other rules that can block access to the DNSBL VIP. Try to ping the DNSBL IP from thhe WLAN as a test...
On another note: Seems someone recently gave a negative smite…. ???

thank you so much for your answer,
the check list is already enabled ,
I've checked the as show but can't seem the find the location on the code to add the red line
below is what it shows on the dnsbl.sh fileJamerson, sorry about that… you can disregard those instructions... The key point here is that these lines in the dnsbl.sh file (in red) file are correct...
if [ -f '[color=red]/var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl_lighty.conf' ]; then
/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd_pfb -f '/var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl_lighty.conf'
fiI sent you a PM to see if we can work out this issue offline, and I can go from there… Thanks!

BBcan177 no worries!
We all have lives to live. 8)
So no pressure mate. Just wanted to check.
Good to hear it's coming. I'll just wait. I'm a patient dude. ;) -

Hi,
i had installed pfblockerNG and setup IPv4 Alias/List Configuration to create IPv4 Lists (for example source: http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=xshktygkujudfnjfioro&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz).But this rule block my important website (like Hotmail and other ) i don't want to disable or delete this list. Do i have any other method?(like whitelist and how to do) Thanks!

Thank you BBcan177 for the information I wil try it soon again. I had to do a full backup restore to get pfSense back on track. I have to get some new courage to give it another shot.
I selected all the network segments and as long as the wlan client were still connected they could reach the vip address the dnsbl webserver. Wen the wlan client reconnects it got a authentication error because pfsense could not reach the local radius server. I searched for hours to find what cause this but couldn't find it.
It wasn't me btw who gave you the childish smite you do and did a GREAT job!

Passing my comment from the other topic to this one
Somtimes the reporting of the Alerts misses the list matching! I had this problem today.
List 1 - Alias_Deny (De-Duplication enabled)
List 2 - Alias_NativeInterface 1
Block List 1The IP1 is in both lists, because Alias_Native does not passes by the De-Duplication process.
I had a hit on Interface 1 of IP1 and in the alert tab appeared the information that the hit is from List 2 (that does not even appears on the Interface)
Thank You all

One extra that would be very useful is the ability to export (automatic) the lists to the webserver of PFSense, that way I could use the same list on other computers and only maintain it in pfsense. This is useful because when I'm not at home I like to use on my personal laptop the lists with PeerBlock!
Nice Job

Hi, BBCan77
I got first crash report since upgraded to v2:
PHP Errors:
[27-Nov-2015 12:14:53 America/Toronto] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 900 seconds exceeded in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc on line 1662 -
Thank you BBCAN,
I've tested it and it works fine really clean internet.
the only think I notice is the DHCP server stops sharing IPS,
is this related to the DNSBL ?
please advise. -
Any1 has the issue about failed to download Snort rules from Snort website since Nov. 24? It seemed this is an issue after upgrading to pfBlockerNG v2.0. but I'm not sure, don't know which dns feed block it, and I don't have any clue from the Alert tab either.
EDIT: Its the DNS: s3.amazonaws.com, was blocked by the DNSBL MPatrol feed. Adding it to the suppression list solves.

I've sorted the issue with the snortBL by setting the state to FLEX. It had a curl ssl error code 200 . This could be seen in view log in the update tab. So setting to FLEX also resolves a curl 200 status code.

I posted in the IDS forum… Try to avoid double posting...

The issue that pfcode is having, is with the Snort VRT rulesets for the IDS/IPS Snort… not the snort IP list. But yes the Snort IP list needs to use 'Flex'... Would be nice if Snort actually had a proper cert for their HTTPS site :)

please advise.Not related to DNSBL… Only thing that I suggest, is not to use the two "DHCP Registration" checkboxes in the Resolver, as that seems to have issues on Reload.

Peerblock would probably need the files to be formatted in a certain way? There is a file in: /var/db/pfblockerng/mastercat which is a complete list of IPs (Deny).

This is a hard one to solve when "Alias Native" lists are used since multiple lists can have the same IP.. Alerts tab is not superhuman :)

Trouble with whitelist
Since the update to pfBlockerNG v2.0 w/DNSBL I'm having a problem whitelisting some IPs. I'm not sure exactly if the problem started before I tried using the DNS blocklist option, or purely from updating pfBlockerNG.
I turned off the dns forwarder and turned on the dns resolver and the DNSBL worked nicely, some alerts appeared in the alert tab. Besides updating PfBlockerNG and trying the DNSBL option I did not change anything to my IP blocklists or whitelist.
I noticed that my whitelist wasn't working anymore. No more green icons in the firewall log dashboard gadget and nothing in the permit section of the pfBlockerNG: Alerts tab. I disabled the DNSBL and went back to the dns forwarder. This didn't help. I tried rebooting, flusing the firewall state table and reinstalling pfBlockerNG (keeping the settings tab checked). This didn't help either.When I look at the iplist update log, my whitelist shows up in the Permit List with the correct number of IPs.
The blocked IPs that I want to whitelist are blocked by the country list.Does anyone have the same problem? Searching the forum I get the impression this is not a universal problem.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

JohnPFsense,
For this whitelist, did you select "permit_outbound" in the alias? Does it create a firewall permit rule in the outbound firewall tab? Also ensure that the 'Rule order' is set to order the Permit rules above the block/reject rules.
