      I fixed the stability problem and the issue was not DNSBL.

      Glad you got it sorted out  :)

        Hi,

        I have one IPV4 alias list that works before and now are generating the "/var/db/aliastables/pfB_Allow_List.txt"

        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

        <title>400 - Bad Request</title>

        400 - Bad Request

        Why that happening?

        Thanks

          What URL are you using? Load the URL in the browser and see what it returns. You're getting a 400 error on connection. Check the Alerts tab if something is blocking access to that URL.

          "The 400 Bad Request error is an HTTP status code that means that the request you sent to the website server, often something simple like a request to load a web page, was somehow incorrect or corrupted and the server couldn't understand it."

            Hi,

            It's not an URL.
            Is a WHOIS based on AS number.

            Thanks

              Is a WHOIS based on AS number.

              So you select "whois" and enter an AS for example:    AS13414    in the source field? Is this an IPv4 or v6 alias? Maybe post a screenshot…

              What does this command report when you run it from the shell? You can change the ASN to the number that you configured above:

              mwhois -h whois.radb.net \!gAS13414

              UPDATE:
              You can see if its listed in DNSBL and if the host cmd responds with the DNSBL VIP, then it need to be whitelist in DNSBL.

              host -t A whois.radb.net

                  You're on an older version of pfSense and pfBlockerNG… I'd suggest updating to the latest versions...

                    BBcan, I've read and been using most of the feeds mentioned in the first few pages of this thread.  Is there an exhaustive list of feeds or any "must have" feeds that I might have missed?  Thank you!  8)

                      I am working on the next version of pfBlockerNG v3.0 which will have a Feeds Management Tab for IPv4/v6/DNSBL feeds … plus many other features ...

                      Currently listing:

                      • IPv4:  105 Feeds

                      • IPv6:      9 Feeds

                      • DNSBL: 71 Feeds

                      Just working on the last bits … Hope to have it out soon....
                      I will post some screenshots when I can...

                        Awesome!  Can't wait for it's release!  Thank you for your continued contribution, pfBlockerNG is already great but this is the icing on the cake!

                              I'd like to report a serious bug.

                              After the first setup and first reboot, PFblockerNG proceeds to alter the order of the pre-existing Floating Rules.
                              Before PFblockerNG:

                              1º Custom quick Allow rules to many things

                              2º Custom quick Deny all rule to all traffic on my subnets.

                              After PFblockerNG

                              1º  PFblocker own rules

                              2º Custom quick Deny all rule to all traffic on my subnets.

                              3º Custom quick Allow rules to many things.

                              It changed the order of my Deny Rule to be above my Allow rules, thus blocking all traffic.

                              I fixed the rules ordering, but I have yet to reboot the machine to see if they are preserved.

                              Edit: I see there is an option on how to order pfblockerng floating rules, and the default one  says:

                              pfb_block / Reject | all other rules

                              It either considered my custom Deny rule to be one of its own, or it simply parses all existing rules looking for "deny/reject" and jumps them ahead.

                                How do you become a tester?  I would like to sign up if any more are needed!  I always love to try bleeding edge/potentially buggy software and assist in the debugging/feedback process.  Kind of why I religiously update my pfSense box daily whenever updates are available :)

                                      Just got caught up on this thread.  The only thing I am unclear on is what is the ramifications of having these two options enabled?

                                      1. Register DHCP leases in the DNS Resolver
                                      2. Register Static DHCP static mappings in the DNS Resolver

                                      Thanks.

                                        At every registration, Unbound reloads, so if it takes 1-3 minutes to restart (depending on you domain block list size), you have no DNS service available.

                                        Static mappings are not dynamic, so Unbound will reload only when you save the mappings.

                                          Yes, unbound reloading delay makes sense.  Look like I will have to limit my DNSBL feeds since I need both features enabled.

                                          Another question for DNSBL is do you normally Deny Both or just Deny Outbound and allow pfSense implicit block to handle the inbound.  I am trying to imagine a case for Deny Both in DNSBL.  For anything incoming, the session has to be initiated from inside the firewall.  So for unwanted ads to come in, they have to be embedded in the response of the original request in the form of actual content and not a URL.  In which case, DNSBL would not be able to block it anyway.

                                            @RonpfS:

                                            At every registration, Unbound reloads, so if it takes 1-3 minutes to restart (depending on you domain block list size), you have no DNS service available.

                                            Static mappings are not dynamic, so Unbound will reload only when you save the mappings.

                                            Thanks Ron. This might be added as an explanation in the screen, next to these two options.
