pfBlockerNG firewall rules and exception
-
Good day.
There are several automatically created rules using pfBlockerNG. I noticed that if disable is some of these rules, then after about 20-30 minutes it becomes enable itself. How to fix it?
And is it possible to create some kind of exception for certain IP addresses from being blocked by the pfBlockerNG rules?

Disabling the FW Rules will not prevent Cron Update from recreating them. You would have to disable the IPv4 table, then run a Force Update.
You can Unlock or Whitelist IPv4s (/32 or /24) from the Alerts tab or from the IP tab IPv4 Suppression list. Other type of IP ranges will have to be put in a different table using a Permit action.

- disable the IPv4 table - this- Firewall\pfBlockerNG\Edit\IPv4\IPv4 Lists\State - Off?
- I do not find Unlock from the Alerts tab.
- IP tab IPv4 Suppression list - this IPs added to the 'pfBlockerNGSuppress' alias?

I'm using pfblockerNG-devel, so the tab have change since.
To disable a IPv4 table you change the Action Settings to Disabled, this will also remove the associated Auto FW rule.
To disable only one IPv4 Source (like a URL) you set the state to OFF, but that won't disable the associated Auto FW Rule. -
Thanks, with disable the IPv4 table and remove the associated Auto FW rule understandably.
For will prevent Selected IPs from being blocked associated Auto FW just enough these IPs add in pfBlockerNGSuppress alias at Suppression = Enabled and all?
