PfBlockerNG v2.0 w/DNSBL

[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.

Strange error... Looks like it didn't install properly... Do you have enough hard drive space? Try to remove/reinstall the package.

[Overloader]

It looks like a PHP Opcache issue. Simply reboot pfsense after upgrade. Then it works.

Can you confirm if you are on pfSense 2.4.3? or 2.4.4?

Also did this occur when you upgraded pfBlockerNG-devel? or was this a new installation of pfBlockerNG-devel?

[Overloader]

@bbcan177 I'm running pfsense 2.4.3-RELEASE-p1 and upgraded from pfBlockerNG 2.1.4_9 to 2.2.5_11 (dev). There are no installation errors but it looks like that the PHP files are cached due opcache.

@overloader is your php using opcache.validate_timestamps=0?
If it doesn't opcache should be able to check the modified timestamp and regenerate the cache.

I found out a little issue with a feed blocking it's own IP, funny.

Info regarding the feed
PRI4 - CCT_IP - https[:]//cybercrime-tracker[.]net/fuckerz.php - 213.186.33.3

I'll drop an email and report it directly to the list owner, till here easy.

---

However the main gateway is still able to connect and download from that IP.

Outbound interfaces, all including WAN

• Advance inbound/outbound as default
• Floating rules denying both directions

Pinging the IP from WAN correctly fails so pfB rules are working, but why is it still able to download, or is pfBlockerNG able to circumvent it's own block lists.

I was only able to found out the feed blocking it's own IP only because I was synching to the client.

I'm looking to get started with PfBlockerNG but am confused as to which version I should get started with, the "dev" version or the stable one? Any pointers on differences between the two will be immensely helpful.

Thanks.

Thank you.

[anttechs]

I love it and it even has the BBC in the list lol
I am I dying to get more Anti corp lists like what you see on filterlist.com because of spying but I get a lot of :

and this

[ osint.bambenekconsulting.com ] Domain listed in DNSBL

The Following List has been REMOVED [ BBC_C2_Agr_v4 ]

and I have no idea if I'm doing something wrong or it's just the site?

or its because it's not in the right format?

But its still going great and so much simpler to use.
Great work.

I do wonder if this is 0.0.0.0 example.com is ok to put as a list?
I could just ake my own list but then they would not get updated.

I want to block all companies like google, apple, Microsoft, NSA Government, and so on.
I just use a paiid vpn to reach the outside world.

[MarcoP]

@anttechs edit filerlist to filterlists ;)

About the failed downloads, if i remember right some list does include other list' IP, so if you have WAN as Outbound interface in pfBlockerNG these IPs are going to be blocked. The same should apply for the SSL error.

[anttechs]

Many thanks ;)
I'm still learning everyday lol
mines on LAN Outbound Firewall Rules reject.
but Wan is set to default

I think I get it

I disabled TLD because I had .com and most of the others in there, I may be going over the top lol

You're welcome

Yeap, that would be it!

can a dev confirm whether or not snort/suricata are available in the 2.5 dev? they are installable but not listed in services or showing in top

[ck42]

Was using the non-devel package and began seeing the crashes.

Uninstalled and installed the Devel package (2.2.5_37). Still seeing this. (2.4.5-p1)

Crash report details:

Anything I need to worry about?

[RonpfS]

if you look at /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_install.inc

it's about the cron jobs removal.

// Remove discontinued pfBlockerNG CRON job
$pfb_cron = &$config['cron']['item'];
if (isset($pfb_cron)) {
	foreach ($pfb_cron as $key => $item) {
		if (strpos($item['command'], 'pfblockerng.php dc >>') !== FALSE) {
			unset($pfb_cron[$key]);
		}
	}
}

Have a look at /etc/crontab, you can also install the Cron package.
