PfBlockerNG 2.1.1_5 / Pfsense 2.4

RonpfS

Quick fix for the crash

touch /var/log/pfblockerng/dnsbl.log

And 10.10.10.1 is outside the LAN interfaces networks range.

AhnHEL

Yup the Touch command fixed that nasty Crash Report. dnsbl.log is still blank after trying to restart service which still doesnt start.

Used the Touch command for the error.log as well, that was causing a Crash Report as well.

LAN is in the 192.168.xxx.yyy/24

Check the NAT and Floating rules to see 10.10.10.1 is defined correctly.

Look at /var/log/pfblockerng/dnsbl_error.log

2016-12-20 18:54:49: (configfile-glue.c.694) === start of 2016-12-20 19:20:02: (server.c.1820) server stopped by UID = 0 PID = 2357
2016-12-20 19:20:05: (log.c.217) server started

AhnHEL

1. Port Forward rules look proper

LAN TCP * * 10.10.10.1 80 (HTTP) 127.0.0.1 8081 pfB DNSBL - DO NOT EDIT
LAN TCP * * 10.10.10.1 443 (HTTPS) 127.0.0.1 8443 pfB DNSBL - DO NOT EDIT

2. I have the DNSBL Firewall Rule checkbox enabled with all interfaces selected but there are no rules listed in my Floating Rules Tab.

3. dnsbl_error.log is empty.

And your /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl_lighty.conf looks like this ?

#
#pfBlockerNG Lighttpd DNSBL configuration file

}

Also check to see if there is other /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd_pfb running

ps aux | grep lighttpd

AhnHEL

No.

I'm missing the ending of your version. The below is omitted from mine:

$SERVER["socket"] == "10.10.10.1:80" {
	$HTTP["host"] =~ ".*" {
		url.rewrite-once = ( ".*" => "index.php" )
	}
}

$SERVER["socket"] == "10.10.10.1:443" {
	ssl.engine		= "enable"
	ssl.pemfile		= "/var/unbound/dnsbl_cert.pem"
	ssl.use-sslv2		= "disable"
	ssl.use-sslv3		= "disable"
	ssl.honor-cipher-order	= "enable"
	ssl.cipher-list		= "AES128+EECDH:AES256+EECDH:AES128+EDH:AES256+EDH:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!DSS"

	$HTTP["host"] =~ ".*" {
		url.rewrite-once = ( ".*" => "index.php" )
	}
}

Well I am running the Dev version ::)

I would disable pfBlockerNG AND DNSBL, then reinstall pfBlockerNG and check the installation log to see if something breaks.

AhnHEL

Thx for your help. I'll start from scratch and report back.

RonpfS

One last thing ? Are you using Unbound (and not DNS Forwarder)?

AhnHEL

Yes, I am using Unbound

Unchecked retain settings, Saved and uninstalled/reinstalled. Not getting any errors at all but still cant get the DNSBL service to start. Maybe someone else can chime in who's on 2.4 who is possibly getting the same issue to confirm.

RonpfS

Check Diagnostics / Sockets to see if some other process would have the same ports open

root 	lighttpd_p 	4228 	5 	tcp4 	*:8081 	*:*
root 	lighttpd_p 	4228 	6 	tcp4 	*:8443 	*:*

You can also try this in a shell to see if it report error.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsbl.sh restart

AhnHEL

No other services using those ports

Using the restart command gives me:

2016-12-20 21:00:48: (network.c.603) SSL: couldn't read X509 certificate from '/var/unbound/dnsbl_cert.pem'

RonpfS

Does /var/unbound/dnsbl_cert.pem exist?

AhnHEL

Yup, its there.

RonpfS

and it looks like a certificate with

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

...

-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

...

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

AhnHEL

Looks like this:

–---BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

.....

-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

RonpfS

Delete the file and do a Force Update to see if this fixes it.

AhnHEL

I've confirmed that it was deleted, Force Updated and confirmed that it get recreated.

Recreates the same type of format of key with just Begin and End Private Key.

Comes up with the same couldnt read x509 certificate error as before when trying to restart

RonpfS

Can you try to use the pem from another 2.3.2 system an test with it.

AhnHEL

Progress!!

Yup, that let me start the service and its showing up green now, but I'm not seeing any packets being blocked though.

****Disregard that, I see some packet drops, its working. Sweet, thank you.
