DNSBL Certificate errors

Thanks for the links… It's not something that I would want for the package... MITM anything is bad in my books :)
I am working on improving this issue… So stay tuned... -

Just to be sure, it is not mitm that pixelserv-tls is doing.
It is a webserver only serving a transparant 1*1 pixel for requests made to that server (redirected to the pixelserv-tls ip by dns blocklist), and also capable of generating a certificate for that pixel when the request was made with https.All traffic that is not dns-blocked/redirected never go through the pixelserv-tls server.

Creating custom certs for domains you don't own is a MITM method.
Not that it would work for google.com as they use HSTS preloading and public-key pinning. Browser makers bake information about the certificate chain for some sites into the package/installation. The browser knows about the certs it should be expecting for those sites before a request is even made and will warn the user if the certificate has been tampered with.

Can you change the code as indicated (utilizing 0.0.0.0) and see if that fixes your cert errors. I don't have many Apple devices to test with, so any help testing would be appreciated. Will need to run a "Force Reload - DNSBL" for it to take effect.
Any other users feedback welcome also…
Thanks!
Hi BBcan,
I was able to fix the certificate invalid errors in Safari by editing the pfblockerng.inc. Is this a one time fix or needs to be done on every update? Could you create a GUI option for this very annoying problem for Safari users?

It's already in the beta of the next release… stay tuned!

After 2 weeks, I started getting certificate errors again. Strangely, pfblockerng.inc reverted to the original (dnsbl_vip). I replaced it and it works again.

If you make manual changes to the pfblockerng.inc file, those will be lost on a pkg installation. So you most likely installed v2.1.1_8 which reset the file back to default… The next release should have this fix built-in...

I followed this guide and dropbox is refused to connect.
DNSBL

If and Source and Unknown and list shows no match.

Can you post a screenshot of the Whitelist and the Alerts Tab showing these blocked domains.
-
Currently the domains are whitelisted in the custom domain whitelist. Is this correct or should they go in the TLD whitelist

The Custom Domain Whitelist is used to "whitelist" domains…
The TLD Whitelist is only used in combination with TLD Blacklist… An example of that would be where you want to block all "ru" domains with TLD Blacklist, but you want to allow certain ru domains to get thru.
-
What is the option to not serve up a https image to avoid certificate errors in 2.1.1_8?
-
[ DNSBL FAIL ] [ Skipping : SuspiciousDomains ]
What feed URL are you using? There are three options available:
https://isc.sans.edu/feeds/suspiciousdomains_High.txt
https://isc.sans.edu/feeds/suspiciousdomains_Medium.txt
https://isc.sans.edu/feeds/suspiciousdomains_Low.txtOtherwise check that you didn't copy/paste the new patched line incorrectly…

BBcan,
Just installed the next release and certificate error has returned. :( -

BBcan,
Just installed the next release and certificate error has returned. :(Sorry to get your hopes up… but the last release was just a small patch... Not quite finished with it yet...

The firewall rule worked! I changed my DNSBL SSL port to 8082 though since I have a Unifi controller running on my pfsense box on 8443.

I am working on improving this issue… So stay tuned...You can decide what to include in your package. But pixelserv-tls is not MITM blah.

First time I hear such a definition of MITM. Maybe you have a point. Perhaps blocking ad by poisoning DNS record shall be in this category too.
Your understanding of HSTS and what's built in chrome/firefox doesn't seem right to me.

Just my 2 cents not sure of implications but since upgrading to IOS 11.0.3(including the 3 IOS updates in the last 2-3 weeks), I used to get a pop-up's on my iPhone safari…now I get a "safari cannot open...could not establish a secure connection...".
In firefox on Linux I got redirected to a certificate error...went thru and made an exception...now I get the 1x1 pixel page.
I'll take a cert error or 1x1 pixel page...just no spying!!!
I love you BBCAN!

I've tried
Action: Reject
Interface: LAN
Address Family: IPV4
Protocol: TCP
Source: any
Destination: Single host or alias 127.0.0.1 or 10.10.10.1
Destination port range: custom 8443 (in both custom fields)DNSBL configuration
DNSBL Virtual IP 127.0.0.1 or 10.10.10.1It does prevent the certificate errors but doesn't block the ads on the yahoo.com home page on ipad or macbook pro
If I edit the code in the on line 3636 in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc to
$domain_data .= "local-data: \"" . $line . " 60 IN A 0.0.0.0\"\n";No certificate error but doesn't block the ads on yahoo.com home page on ipad or mackbook pro
I did reload the DNSBL.
My version of pfBlockerNG is 2.1.2Not sure what I'm doing incorrectly.
