Instead of sign up Maxmind, can we use IP2Location database as replacement?
Why avoid registration?
Just using MaxMind at this moment and after IP2locations integration ready, - just choose. ;) -
i followed the procedure and saved the registration key in our pfsense box, however, after ~1h I started to receive the email notifications again. when I checked back the box, the license key was missing. tried to put it again & save, same result. tried to generate a new key, no change.
does anyone know what might be wrong, please?
-
@jt Did you do a Reload/Force?
-
@jt
When you hit "save" did you get an error message... you probably didn't use the correct License key. Its only alpha-numeric with no spaces etc... -
@BBcan177 And the license key, not the token like the other guy did...
-
i did do reload
i didn't get any error message
i did fill the license key, paste as plain text, the long number, not the short one (token)still getting notifications :/
-
@jt So your Key is a 16 char mixed-case alpha-numeric something like this?

If so, I'd suggest getting a new Key. -
@provels yes, 16char mixed case alpha-numeric.
i did exactly that today - got a new key. same result.
funnily enough, out of 4 pfsense boxes we run, just a single one started to ask for the license.. :/ -
@jt Maybe do a reinstall of the package. I've got nothing else.
-
@jt What you describe sounds a bit like what I posted except my key disappeared overnight, and we got the notification on the update. Do you have the cron update set to run hourly maybe? Ours was daily.
I "solved" it by moving to pfBlockerNG-devel. (used the same key) -
I updated pfblockerng but where do put the key??
-
@nafeasonto Firewall/pfBlockerNG/IP/MaxMind GeoIP configuration/MaxMind License Key
-
I don't use MaxMind's list, yet I am getting several messages via WGUI that file did not download...should I disable?
-
@BBcan177 Well, I disabled but that's only the monthly...still getting notification and lots of it.
-
@NollipfSense Update to the latest devel version.
-
@BBcan177 Got v2.2.5_29 on pfSense 2.5-dev.
-
Well, I was tired of all those notifications and decided to get a MaxMind account...all went well; however, when I created the GeoIP.conf file on my Mac, the MacOS added a dot rtf or dot txt that I cannot see despite unchecking the box not the add the extension to the file name. So, when I uploaded the file, it's been placed in the TMP folder instead of /usr/local/etc. Then, when I go to move the file, I get no such file or directory. I had clicked on the file then edited the file name to GeoIP.conf.

mv /tmp/GeoIP.conf /usr/local/etc
That worked...thank you...wondered why it didn't work when I changed to the tmp directory then issued the move command?
