@Qinn

All of those feeds are hosted on Github and/or Amazon, so I would assume that a DNSBL Feed or an IP Blocklist is blocking access on download… Check the pfBlockerNG Alerts Tab...

Might need to whitelist:
raw.githubusercontent.com
s3.amazonaws.com
or wildcard whitelist the whole domain
.githubusercontent.com
.amazonaws.com
For the MaxMind issue, from the pfSense box, check to see if you can access the MaxMind site:
host -t A geolite.maxmind.com
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.37.47
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.38.47
Then try to ping the resulting IPs and get a reply.

The MaxMind download errors are reported to the error.log file…

Once you have fixed connectivity, you can manually download the MaxMind database with this command:
php -f /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dc

Thanks, I will try and report back.

a```
host -t A geolite.maxmind.com

returns```
geolite.maxmind.com has address 10.10.10.1

If I disable DNSBL I get

host -t A geolite.maxmind.com
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.38.47
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.37.47

I added .geolite.maxmind.com to the Custom Domain Whitelist in DNSBL, but nothing changes, still I get the ip of the VIP, instead op 104.16.etc.

When you manually add a domain or an IP to a whitelist, you need to run a Reload to get it to apply the change or wait until the next cron run to execute… Alternatively, when you whitelist from the Alerts Tab, the whitelist/suppression will take effect immediately.

Thanks yeah I was pulling my hair ;) After I added it to the whitelist, I did a "Select 'Reload' option" All and hit run got a "exists" in return. Then I realized it and a reload solved it.

Now

host -t A geolite.maxmind.com
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.37.47
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.38.47

Now I works, btw I can do a manual update of MaxMind, but when will pfblockerNG do it automatically?

Thanks BBCan177 I hope everything it going well with the next major release, thumbs up!!

MaxMind is updated once per month. You will see the cron task in pfSense for that…

Thanks! Its been submitted and awaiting review by the devs...

Thanks, did a manual update and worked like a charm.

Just to be sure I added the MaxMind IP's to my IPV4 whitelist also.

Did you leave MaxMind Updates unticked ?

There is a Cron package you can install ;)

The job run from 4th to 10th of the month

/usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dcc >> /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log 2>&1

Thanks for you reply RonpfS. Nope I haven't disabled it, I just thought a```
crontab -l

RonpfS

On my system I get :

crontab -l

crontab: no crontab for root
```  :o

Qinn

So what does the MaxMind updates trigger?

Qinn

@qinn Is there a way to check when the next update of MaxMind will run?

RonpfS

@qinn You can check /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log to see when the last update was done.

Qinn

Thanks, nice overview btw of the last 2 years, seems I have to wait for 11 juni (when updating comes once a month)

Qinn

Hmm it's been well over a month and as from what it looks in the dashboard MaxMind isn't updated, I looked in

cat /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log

and it reads:

So it confirms that the last one, was the one I did manually, what goes wrong, why doesn't it update automatically once a month?

Thnx for any advise

Cheers Qinn

@qinn said in Update lists fail:

Nothing is wrong for now. You did a manual update on June 5th. The next automatic update will be done by Cron between the 4th and the 10th of July.

BTW my last update was on 06/07/18, but the version is from May 1st
