      Wow! BBcan177. Wow.

      I've been gone for such a long time, I come back and pfBlockerNG is a hit! This is so cool. I'm so glad that you stepped up and helped move this idea. Thanks to Marcello Coutinho for helping me get pfBlocker (back when it was IP blocklist and country Block) off the ground from it's first inception back when it was release 0.1.

      This is absolutely awesome. And you gave throwback credit to me and Marcello Coutinho.

      Well done! This is why I love the pfsense community. We all work together to make our worlds better.

      Thanks… Most don't realize all the effort that goes into developing and maintaining a package with an ever changing landscape...  ;)  welcome back...

        Hello,
        what did you prefere as blocked iplist?
        did you have some web service that you know where i can buy access to some blocklist that i can insert by URL and forget it?
        did you know also some of this service for Whitelist (like googlebot and similar)
        tnx for your help.

          Is it possible to block a list of dynamic IP's but only specific ports?

          We get a lot of spam H.323 calls originating from AWS (185+ EC2 IP ranges) and DigitalOcean (10+ IP ranges) and others. We'd like to automate the blacklisting but only on port's 1503 and 1720.

          Expert Mode Question: Most of the originator calls are named "unknown" or "cisco" and it would be great to parse those out and block those, though I'm betting that's beyond the scope of pfBlockerNG.

            Here is link to a script to import ~50 blocklists…
            https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg549973#msg549973

            I think there are some Whitelists available... But I don't have those URLs myself... Google search and/or hopefully other users can share some URLs for whitelisting...

              You can use the "Adv. Inbound Firewall" rule settings to protect only certain ports/Dest IPs etc… I will be adding "Adv. Outbound Firewall" rule settings in the next release. You can also use "Alias" type rules, and manually create the firewall rules to suit more complex setups...

                pfBlockcerNG IPv4-lists: Changes from script: as of 2016-01-18

                Re: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg510369;topicseen#msg510369

                After perusing the log from the CRON run for pfBlockerNG_import.php script as listed here, it appears that there are a couple changes that might reduce errors that I have documented below.

                Might want to delete the "no access," "discontinued" and "not found" or change status to "off."

                Cheers,

                Todd

                  Is it possible to import "Easylist Germany" to "DNSBL Easylist" from AdBlock Plus into pfBlockerNG?

                    I am having trouble viewing the pfblockerNG alerts.

                    On the main index page, I can see (for example) X packets for "pfB_NAmericav4" (I created an inbound rule/alias to block everything inbound on WAN that's not from United States).

                    I can see that it blocked 475 packets.

                    Clicking on it bring me to the alerts page, which says "Found 29 Alert Entries - Insufficient Firewall Alerts found."

                    Why does it only find 29 of the 475 blocked packets?

                    I've disabled remote logging for the moment to hopefully eliminate a variable. I've also
                    -disenable/re-enable pfbng
                    -force update
                    -force cron
                    -force reload
                    -clear logs (from firewall settings tab)

                      Hi oddworld19,

                      The Alerts Tab takes its info from the pfSense Firewall Log. So if the Firewall log doesn't contain those Alerts, it won't show in the pfBNG Alerts Tab.

                      You should disable the "Log Firewall Default Block" option. They are filling your log with unneeded data. You could keep the last two "Bogons" and "Private" as those shouldn't fill your logs as much.

                      Then clear your firewall logs. Followed by Disable and Re-Enable of pfBlockerNG to clear the widget packet Counts and see how it goes from there.

                      There is a also known issue that I reported to the Devs, but haven't had a response. But that is only specific if you define Ports in the firewall rules. From your post, it doesn't look like you have this issue.

                      https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=99929

                      update:

                      The Widget has a customization setting to define the "Max packets for Alerts Tab pivot"… Make sure this is set to meet with your requirements.

                        The "IPv4 Custom list" seem to be inactive in pfBlockerNG. It worked fine before. I have several IPs I want to block manually in that list but it is not working. Force update and force reload has no effect. The custom list does not appear on the dashboard either. Anyone familiar with this?

                            Well, the alias name is kind of personal  ;). Contains one space but no "pfBlocker" or "pfB_". List action is "Deny Both".

                              Its probably not going to create the alias if its just a "single space" as the Alias name… Give it a proper name and it should be fine. It can't contain and special or International characters.

                                I renamed it abc123 and now it appears as pfB_abc123 on my dashboard. Thanks!

                                    Would have been best to post this in pfBNG v2.0 thread:

                                    Looks like they moved the Spam404 feed to Github:

                                      Is spam404, one of the DNSBL feeds, gone?

                                      Would have been best to post this in pfBNG v2.0 thread:

                                        Hello ,

                                        is there a possibility to add the negate rule on ports also ? I don't want to block some ports , aka in the top 20 country list . I modified the xml  and the inc file but it seems to ignore the option. Is there an other file that I must change that makes the option work ? Thx.

                                          Sure I can add that to the next release… I will also be adding "Adv. Outbound" settings with other additional options...

                                          Here is a screenshot of what to expect:

                                            Hi CIURI,

                                            I don't think there is an option to use "!" negate a Ports Alias in pfSense… You can edit an existing pfBNG Rule and see if you see it any different?
