        After upgrading to new version, i cannot exclude 1 IP address in DNSBL

        Custom Option:
        server:
        access-control-view: 172.16.10.0/24 bypass
        access-control-view: 172.16.200.0/24 dnsbl
        access-control-view: 172.16.200.1/32 bypass
        access-control-view: 172.16.100.0/24 dnsbl
        view:
        name: "bypass"
        view-first: yes
        view:
        name: "dnsbl"
        view-first: yes

          The DNS Resolver Unbound "Views" feaure it not currently compatable with DNSBL Python mode. The "Views" feature will be incorporated into the new Python Mode in future.

            I'm trying to apply the update but the Package Reinstallation is hanging: Please wait while the update system initializes. I've waited over 30 minutes and tried rebooting the SG-1100 without success. Any ideas?

              Thank you for the update and the effort you put into this project. This add-on is one of the main reasons I stick with pfSense.

              We have a bunch of remote Sites running non-pfSense VPN Router with integrated DSL Modem. This remotes Sites are connected to our Data Centers by routed IPsec VPN, terminate on the pfSense where the DNS-Resolver with pfb enabled is hosted. Each site has a local resolver and forwards all queries for public domains to the pfSense in the Data Center over the VPN Tunnel.

              @BBcan177 said in pfBlockerNG-devel v3.0.0 - No longer bound by Unbound!:

              DNSBL Web Server is now bound to localhost instead of 0.0.0.0

              Unfortunately this change breaks the usage of pfBlockerNG over IPsec for good. I cannot get the web server to reply to connections which come in over VPN.
              Out of the box it doesn't work at all but with a custom NAT config it can be make functional.
              When the Web Server is bounded on all Interfaces it was possible make this work by placing NAT Rules before the system generated rules to redirect the Traffic to the High Ports of the DNSBL VIP.

              rdr pass on enc0 inet proto tcp from any to 10.255.255.12 port = http -> 10.255.255.12 port 8081
              rdr pass on enc0 inet proto tcp from any to 10.255.255.12 port = https -> 10.255.255.12 port 8443
              

              This was enough to get it working for Policy based VPN. If using VTIs for IPsec an addition floating rule with no state is necessary to allow the return traffic.

              pass out quick on enc0 inet proto tcp from 10.255.255.12 to <net_vpn_all> port >= 1024 no state label "USER_RULE: Allow Stateless Replies from DNSBL VIP"
              

              I do understand that this is a limitation of pfSense/FreeBSD VPN and not a pfBlockerNG problem. Anyway it is possible to make the binding of Web Server to all interface or loopback a configurable option for future release?
              If not - does anybody have an idea how to get this work when the service is bound to a loopback?

                I can add this as an option in the next release as time permits.

                In the meantime, you can edit the code to revert to 0.0.0.0.

                Edit the file:
                /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc

                At line #1097 there is a function that builds the Lighttpd configuration file:

                function pfb_create_lighttpd() {
                }

                In that function you can change the lines with "127.0.0.1" to "0.0.0.0"

                and change "::1" to "::/0" for IPv6. (haven't tested that myself, so hoping that this is the correct IPv6 address)

                In the same file:

                Edit line #1308:

                From:
                'target' => '127.0.0.1',
                To:
                'target' => '0.0.0.0',

                Edit line #1322:

                From:
                'target' => '::1',
                To:
                'target' => '::/0',

                Hope this works for you, Thanks for using the package, and and any support is appreciated.

                        Yes its there in the DNSBL Tab with the other Unbound Python mode features.

                          Editing this function works fine for me. There is no need to edit lines #1308 and #1322 - These are for the NAT Rules and should stay as they are.

                          Thank you!

                              First of all, great job on this release!

                              I'm currently running 3.0.0_1 with 'Unbound python mode' enabled in DNSBL.
                              While viewing the Reports tab I saw that the If and Source columns show 'Unknown' within the DNSBL Python alert entry's.

                              Any suggestion how the fix this?

                                            Do you have any of these options enabled in the DNS Resolver?

                                            DHCP Registration:

                                            • Static DHCP
                                            • OpenVPN Clients

                                            If so, disable those options, clear the py_error log and Force Reload - DNSBL and see if the error returns.
