PfBlockerNG v2.0 w/DNSBL

Cardnyl

I set up pfBlockerNG using this guide https://www.tecmint.com/install-configure-pfblockerng-dns-black-listing-in-pfsense/. I saw it mentioned (somewhere around page 45ish) that one of the reasons why I might not be see any sort of output on the alerts or blocking in general was because I am running Squid (transparent mode, wpad, ssl filtering (splice all)) on LAN and loopback interfaces. Do I need to adjust Squid to also filter on WAN interface as well to get these two packages to play with one another or is it something else entirely?

I'm able to browse and ping the VIP address with no problems. I attempted to ping and nslookup something off of the yoyo list which I have added on my feeds and both went through okay.

I have new hardware with a new installation.
I restore de backup file.
But on the new installation pfblockerNG geoIP is missing.

Is there anything else I can do in the pfBlockerNG settings to sort this out?

From your logs… Something is blocking the MaxMind download... So need to see what is causing that...

Downloading MaxMind GeoIP databases. This may take a minute...
 GeoIP.dat... cURL Error: 60.  cURL Error: 60.  cURL Error: 60.  Failed!
MaxMind download Failed! Fetching MaxMind archive from pfSense package repo...
/tmp/countrycodes.tar.bz2

The backup archive that is located on pfSense's servers is a little out of date… I should fix that.

Here is one of the files that you can test with to see why its failing to download:
https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country-CSV.zip

MaxMind does rate-limit if you attempt too many downloads in a day...

So, I don't wanna be one the one to ask this, but I am so eager to try 3.0. Any update when this will be released? I just did a clean install of the newest pfSense and like the changes and fixes in place but I didn't think to save all my config etc before I did it. (I know, really dumb of me). Would this of worked anyway? It's really tedious going through and looking for the lists again, so I'm feeling hopeful here it's coming soon as I really love pfBlockerNG and the work you do BBCan177!!! :)

Thanks, I am hoping to get this out shortly… Just trying to clean up a couple loose ends.... Stay tuned!

Hi,

I have a custom IPV4 Denny List
On Custom Address(es) I have 9 IPs but only 7 off them are been loaded
5.9.110.236
54.207.50.1
187.17.111.97
169.45.117.93
96.6.123.19
104.16.84.55
104.16.83.55
162.243.102.114
187.61.117.226

These two are not loading, I try to change order, set "Update Custom List" on drop down, etc.
5.9.110.236
162.243.102.114

Any ideas?

Thanks

RonpfS

Did you ran a Force Update and a Force Reload IP ?
Look at the pfblockerng.log, error.log to see what is happening when that Table is loaded?
Does these IPs get whitelisted?

heliop100

Hi,

I found that on log:

[ Denny_list_custom ] Downloading update . completed ..
–----------------------------
Original Master Final
------------------------------
9 7 7 [ Pass ]

I realize that the IP 162.243.102.114 are included in another entry as member of AS14061

But not find any conflict on the IP 5.9.110.236

Thanks.

RonpfS

Maybe it's already in another Table

grep "5.9.110.236" /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/*

or using a different range

grep "5.9.110" /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/*
grep "5.9.11" /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/*
grep "5.9.1" /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/*
grep "5.9." /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/*

heliop100

Bingo

I find it on: /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/IBlock_Proxy.txt:5.9.110.236exi

But I have one server communicating on port 123 with that IP, believe are one NTP server.

Why are not blocking it?

I'm having problems with iOS 11.3 BETA. It seems that safari can't go to 0.0.0.0 and pages can't load. Solution was to reinstall package and use the VIP address, as I was using the certificate hack and 0.0.0.0.

EDIT: Sorry, wrong version. I'm on 2.1.

xanaro

earlier this month 1.1.1.1 (DNS server) was announced.
I noticed I can use their backup server 1.0.0.1 but cannot use 1.1.1.1

I have read that it is because of pfblockerNG, I tried the suggested edit from shell

https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/88wg6g/issue_with_pfblockerng_dnsbl_and_cloudflares_1111/

sed -i '' 's/1.1.1.1/1.1.1.2/g' /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.sh

but it does not seem to have worked, any help is appreciated.

RonpfS

You have to do a Force Reload All when you change this IP.

Maxburn

Did charting make it into this release? I can't seem to find it.

I've just set this up, and the blocker is indeed very effective!
At the moment I'm using the DNSBL part only but so far it's impressive.

The only thing missing at the moment is the DNS blocking for IPv6 content. For example on Youtube.
As I understand this would be a new future for the upcoming 3.0 release, if so then I'm eager to try it out.

Thanks for your work on pfBlockerNG and your support, it's a must have for PfSense.

Cheers.

Edit:
I should have posted this in the pfBlockerNG 2.1 topic, that's the actual version installed on my pfsense box.
