DNSBL modify default bloked webpage

@occamsrazor said in DNSBL modify default bloked webpage:

The things is DNSBL IS working.... as bad domains are resolving to 10.10.10.1 in terms of DNS - it's just I am not getting the redirect webpage at 10.10.10.1

That blocked page only shows when the root domain is blocked. It won't show when it blocks an AD or a sub-domain.

If we take the example RonPfs gave above, if I do a ping I get this, which would indicate DNSBL is working:

BenMBPwifi:~ ben$ ping agkn.com
PING agkn.com (10.10.10.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=44.806 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.503 ms

But when I go to http://agkn.com I just get a timeout. It's not a big deal as DNSBL is working, just strange I never, ever see that page. I should add I have TLD enabled, though I didn't before and also never saw that block page.

Is that domain in a blacklist?

grep "agkn.com" /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/*

As a test, try to browse to "101com.com"

Yes it is...

Shell Output - grep "agkn.com" /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/*
/var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/EasyPrivacy.txt:local-data: "agkn.com 60 IN A 10.10.10.1"

As a test, try to browse to "101com.com"

Shell Output - grep "101com.com" /var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/*
/var/db/pfblockerng/dnsbl/MVPS.txt:local-data: "wtrs.101com.com 60 IN A 10.10.10.1"

Seems 101com.com isn't in my blocklists but wtrs.101com.com is.
When I ping 101com.com I get a real IP, when I ping wtrs.101com.com I get 10.10.10.1
When I browse to wtrs.101com.com I get a timeout, when I browse to 101com.com I get through to some server.

Do you get something from http://10.10.10.1/

No, just a "Waiting for......" in the bottom of the browser screen and page never loads.

Do you have VLANs? If so, please ensure that in the DNSBL tab, that you have selected the "DNSBL Permit" option, and select all of the VLANs in the dropdown selection box.

Otherwise, try to disable the other two port forwards and see if one of those is causing a conflict?

There shouldn't be any timeouts.

@BBcan177 in PFBlocker-devel is it possible to disable the DNSBL NAT rule and disable the lighthttpd? Before you used a NAT rule (and used floating rules/etc) I just had a simple reject rule if someone attempted to access the DNSBL lighthttpd via http/https, but using the current stable version, I cannot seem to find a way to reject (seems NAT is always evaluated first?)

Thanks!

To fix that Cert error for HTTPS sites, create a new DNSBL Group and add the domains that are causing issue to the customlist at the bottom of the page. Then disable logging and set the Order to "Primary" which will cause this Group to load first.

Follow that with a Force Reload DNSBL... That will null block those domains to 0.0.0.0 and avoid the cert errors.

Thanks for the help. I don't run any VLANs but in any case tried with that Permit box checked. Also tried disabling the Port Forwards, still the same. At this stage I think I'm going to give up as it's not a huge deal and the blocking functionality is working properly, but still strange...

Kind of glad I found this post since I thought I've been going crazy the past 2 weeks. I've install pfSense multiple times, rebooted multiple times, tried pfBlockerng and pfBlockerng-devel, multiple times. Watched about 10 youtube videos where they all go, click here, here and here, then bam! bada bing badda boom! Everything works.

Well I still get timeouts for blocked pages which really slows down browsing for people. Or am I just not properly understanding pfBlocker? Maybe that's it.

Running:
pfSense 2.4.3-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) (And I've tried this on a VM as well)
pfBlockerng-devel 2.2.5_11 (Tried with pfBlockerng 2.1.4_9 for a few days, then thought maybe the devel package is getting more love)

I have the default LAN 192.168.1.1/24
So I'm using the 10.10.10.1 VIP for DNSBL

DNS resolver is running, no forwarding.

If I nslookup 101com.com

101com.com
Server: pfSense.concord.home
Address: 192.168.1.1
Name: 101com.com
Address: 10.10.10.1

That works!

If I browse to:
http://10.10.10.1:8081 - works, get the "Page blocked by DNSBL"
https://10.10.10.1:8443 - works, get the "Page blocked by DNSBL"
http://192.168.1.1:8081 - works, get the "Page blocked by DNSBL"
https://192.168.1.1:8443 - works, get the "Page blocked by DNSBL"

but

http://10.10.10.1 - times out with "This site can’t be reached"
https://10.10.10.1 - times out with "This site can’t be reached"
http://101com.com - "This site can’t be reached. 101com.com took too long to respond."

On the firewall settings the VIP is there
10.10.10.1/32 LAN IP Alias pfB DNSBL - DO NOT EDIT

The 2 NAT port forward auto created rules are there (80 -> 8081, 443 -> 8443)
I have no VLANs, only a WAN and LAN network and "default" pfSense install, no other port forward or blocking rule. Nothing! default

So lighttpd_p is running on 8081 and 8443, but the problem is plain 10.10.10.1 (80 and 443) is not resolving but timing out. Which slows down browsing.
I feel so dumb!! What am I doing wrong? Or am I expecting pfBlocker to work differently then it actually does and it's all in my head?

Sorry I tagged on to this thread, but this is the closest to the symptoms I am getting.

@concord

Is your pfSense GUI in HTTP or HTTPS? Are you using a proxy or something else on these ports?

[concord]

@BBcan177 (Sorry forgot to tag reply, noob here)

So under:

System / Advanced / Admin access
Only HTTPS radio button is selected, nothing else. As in nothing else selected. Everything default install. The "TCP Port" option is empty, which reads the following for details: "Enter a custom port number for the webConfigurator above to override the default (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS). Changes will take effect immediately after save."

and then for System / Advanced / Miscellaneous / Proxy, it's all default blank

The thing is that basically you will need to add all https sites in there (well, almost) as most of them are using HSTS for that matter nowadays. (facebook, google and almost all majors)
No mentioning logging, alerts, etc...
That's actually the exact reason, why i'm trying to get away from this bulky and messy squid+samba+squidguard construction. But here with lighthttpd you're using static private cert which is not trusted by local cert authorities. Why can't you consider to issue at least trusted with local CA cert? I'd imagine that'll help with majority if issues.... Also i've heard rumors from of this forum, that if we will be using the squid's way with auto generating valid subCA certs for users from local CA it "would be both complicated and slow." But squid had been working with that for years, I haven't noticed any issues with it's performance... (yes there is caching also, but still)
Could you please comment? (I'm on latest dev 2.2.5_17 now)

Could you please list the exact steps for this suggestion? I'm not sure what you mean by DNSBL "Group" and don't see that term anywhere under Firewall -> pfblockerNG or anywhere else.

Also, I'm seeing in other threads that this was incorporated already into pfblockerNG... If so, where is that option, because I'm definitely seeing these HTTPS certificate errors. (I'd much prefer that you allow pfblockerNG to use a certificate I provide, presumbaly using pfSense's certificate manager, so that I can pre-install the signing CA in my clients. I don't want to give up the blocked web page that's delivered -- I'm on MacOS, where Safari will let me work around the issue by installing the HTTPS server certificate in my Keychaain, but Chrome and Firefox still won't work with that for HSTS sites (like googleadservices.com)).

pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 / pfBlockerNG-devel 2.2.5_21

@bldnightowl

This is where you create a new "DNSBL Group" (I am renaming DNSBL Feed -> DNSBL Group in the next release):
Click on the DNSBL Tab
Click "DNSBL Feeds"
Click "Add"

Set the Name and Header field
Set the Action to Unbound
Set the Logging to Disabled
Set Group Order to Primary
Add the domains that are causing those Cert issues, to the bottom Custom List.

Save, "Force Reload - DNSBL"

[bldnightowl]

@bbcan177 Thanks for that.

What effect is the "null block" supposed to have? When I access a problem site -- I still see a certificate warning. DNS lookups in the domain in question still return 10.10.10.1 rather than 0.0.0.0. (Update: the problem is that I needed to put in a full hostname, e.g., www.googleadservices.com, rather than just the domain name as it asked for, e.g., googleadservices.com.)

Any plans to have DNSBL use a server certificate from the pfSense's certificate manager so that this workaround is unnecessary? Adding an exception like this for very problematic domain is not tractable (or desirable, since as you've pointed it out it defeats logging and tracking for such ads).

Hello there security folks,
Same problem here with a brand new install on my test lab:
PfBlocker 2.1.4_16
PfSense 2.4.4_2

DNSBL works and turns ads into 1.1 pixel but I cannot display the "blocked page warning" when the root domain is blocked.
For example : darkpage.win is on one of my DNSBL lists. I confirm it's darkpage.win and not something.darkpage.win.
When I browse this address, all I get is a 1.1 pixel, not the "blocked page warning" I should get.

Below is my nslooup result for that page :
nslooup darkpage.win
Server : 192.168.1.252
Address : 192.168.1.252#53

Name : darkpage.win
Address : 10.10.10.1

Did someone find a solution ?
Thanks a lot

PfBlocker 2.1.4_16

You will need to upgrade to pfBlockerNG-devel which has the blocked web page functionality.

[davidm40]

Oh, I see.
Thanks for the quick reply @BBcan177
Glad I didn't start getting my hands dirty too early.

@concord @BBcan177 I am having exactly same issue. If I change "Redirect target IP" to "10.10.10.1" instead of "127.0.0.1" for the generated NAT rules, it works fine.

I think the issue is port forwarding to "127.0.0.1" is not working with latest pfSense release.

[amitg0123]

@concord @BBcan177 I modified /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc by replacing line 1087 likes this:

'target'                => "{$pfb['dnsbl_vip']}",

Now the NAT rules always have vip as target ip and issue is solved.

However, I think 127.0.0.1 should work. May be issue is with latest release of pfSense itself?
