How to schedule PfBlockerNG?

[mucip]

@gertjan ,
If we can change the config file and restart the server via cron script, why not?. :)
I think I must go deeper in the PfBlockerNG mechanism.

@mucip What exactly are you blocking via DNSBL ?

Hi @nogbadthebad ,
Some social sites.

@mucip Can you block them via pfBlockerNG -> IP -> IPv4 and create an alias using the ASN number.

You could if its Facebook.

You then could have a time based firewall rule.

Dear @nogbadthebad ,
Could you explain little bit more please?
Because in my PfBlocker GUI there is only "pfBlockerNG -> IPv4 " menu. And I could not understand what is ASN?...

P.S. By the way I do this limitations with SquidFilter before but I could not find this package in the PfSense anymore?

You could then use pfB_FACEBOOK_v4 in a firewall rule and set a schedule, you'd need to remove Facebook from your DNSBL config.

Hi @nogbadthebad ,
What is your version of the PfBlockerNG?
Looks different than mine.

You'd then need to create two rules, one that passes traffic to the alias with the time schedule and one that denies without a schedule.

I only use a schedule to throttle traffic out my GUEST interface monday - friday 9AM to 5PM to the internet.

Hi @nogbadthebad ,
Thanks a lot.
Well I need to upgrade to DEVEL than.
By the way where can I find the complete ASN list. How do you know that Facebook ASN is 92934 e.g.?

@mucip You can type in Facebook in the IPv4 Source Definitions part.
