      @heliop100:

      I'm getting this IP 192.99.0.227 (http://coopermult.com.br) blocked.
      It's not showing on Alerts, and not match any list.

      Are you sure that "logging" is enabled in the pfBlockerNG aliases?

      Try to run these commands from the shell to see if a list contains that IP:

      cd /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/
      
      grep "192.99.0.227" *
      grep "^192\.99\.0\." *
      grep "^192\.99\." *
      grep "^192\." * | grep "\/"

        @pfcode:

        1. dnsbl service is still started, even though both pfBlockerNG and DNSBL are disabled.

        2. the bigger one, the unbound service isn't auto restarted after WAN interface changes are applied if pfBlockerNG and DNSBL are enabled.

        I have a fix for #1 and that will be part of the next release. For #2, I can't reproduce that issue. (If anyone else is having that issue, let me know)

        Thanks. I will try to see how to reproduce it, it could be related to IPv6 thing.  What I will do is disable DNSBL, to see if unbound service is working or not (I just had the unbound service stopped for no reason again minutes ago).  then I will try to enable DNSBL, and disable IPv6, to see.  I will report back.

          Hi all,

          I just registered so first, BBcan177, thanks for making such a great package for pfSense. It's really impressive.

          I noticed one little issue, when I add a domain to the Custom Domain Suppression (Whitelist) and # comment after it, it seems to ignore this entry. Did anyone see this before?

          e.g.
          google.nl » ok
          google.nl # dutch google » ignored

            Hi SanderX,

            Thanks for reporting, I have this scheduled to be fixed in the next release. You can manually edit the file to fix this issue as follows:

            Edit  /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_alerts.php    LINE #94

            And add a space as indicated in red:

            Original:
            $dnssupp_dat .= "{$dnssupp[0]}{$dnssupp[1]}\r\n";

            New:
            $dnssupp_dat .= "{$dnssupp[0]} {$dnssupp[1]}\r\n";

            Then edit the DNSBL suppression custom list and add a space before each # and Save. Follow that with a Force Reload DNSBL.

                  On a fresh install of 2.3.1-RELEASE-p1:

                  install pfblockerng package from within pfsense

                  Enable Floating rules.

                  Enable DNS Blocklist

                  Select "unbound"

                  Run Cron

                  No Floating rule in firewall rules.

                  Please help me find the reason.

                  It used to work just fine before.

                    Did you enabled pfBlockerNG ? Is dnsbl service up and running ?
                    Did you run a Force Upload ? a Force Reload?
                    Did you look at the pfBlockerNG.log?

                      Did you enabled pfBlockerNG ? Is dnsbl service up and running ? YES; General > Enable pfBlockerNG > Check
                      Did you run a Force Upload ? a Force Reload? Firewall > pfBlockerNG > Update: Update, Cron, Reload – no Force option available. Ran CRON
                      Did you look at the pfBlockerNG.log? Yes, I don't see any errors.

                      I'm stumped; Never had a problem with pfb

                        Well I am still on 2.2.6 and I see in pfBlockerNG: Update

                        Force Update will download any new Alias/Lists.
                        Force Cron will download any Alias/Lists that are within the Frequency Setting (due for Update).
                        Force Reload will reload all Lists using the existing Downloaded files. This is useful when Lists are out of 'sync' or Reputation changes were made.

                        But if there are no IP in you DSNBL table, then there will be no need for floating rules.

                        Configure settings for Firewall Rules when any DNSBL Feed contain IP Addresses

                        @BBcan177:

                        Actually as soon as you enable "DNSBL IP" it will add "1.1.1.1" to make sure its not empty… So the Floating rule should show if that option was enabled..

                        Do you have any IPV4 alias defined ?

                          I can ping 10.10.10.1 but there is no rule displayed in the gui.

                            Hi Chain, that list can be parsed without issues… If that was from a URL, just add the URL to a DNSBL alias ... You could also paste that into a custom list and the package will parse it...

                              All DNSBL alerts are visible in the pfBlockerNG Alerts tab (DNSBL section)…  You should be able to ping the DNSBL VIP and browse to it also (1x1 pix)...  Not sure exactly what the issue you are having?

                                The issue is that I have selected the option that creates a floating rule to the VIP DNSBL IP but there is no floating rule visible in the GUI. In the past this rule was always created.

                                This is on a vanilla pfsense install.

                                According to the service status widget, the DNSBL service is running.

                                          Click the "Raw" button, and you should be able to pull that list with DNSBL, as it removes the HTML formatting…

                                            @AspiringNSATroglodyte:

                                            I've attached some pictures to hopefully shed some light on the issue. As I've said, I have configured pfblockerng and DNSBL succesfully many times in the past without issue.

                                            Can you run this command and send me the output:

                                            grep -B10 -A12 "pfB_DNSBL_Allow_access_to_VIP" /conf/config.xml
