Cant find pfb's inc to fix error –- Allowed memory size of 536870912

[tross9]

I found a post where the following was suggested: I cant find the INC file.

The problem seems to be related to i386 installation.
The fix is to edit /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc  (Diagnostics/Edit File)
go to line 236

change
Code: [Select]
pfb_global();

// DNSBL Lighttpd HTTPS Daemon (Scans Lighttpd dnsbl_error.log for requested https domain names)
if (isset($argv[1]) && $argv[1] == 'dnsbl') {to
Code: [Select]
pfb_global();
ini_set('memory_limit', '300M');

// DNSBL Lighttpd HTTPS Daemon (Scans Lighttpd dnsbl_error.log for requested https domain names)
if (isset($argv[1]) && $argv[1] == 'dnsbl') {

Upgrade the pfBlockerNG package to the latest version. After that there is no need to edit any Inc files.

However, if you are blocking the world (not recommended… read the notes at the top of the GeoIP pages), then you will need to bump the Firewall max table entries to 10M.

Thanks.

I'm now at pfblk 2.1.1.4 up from 2.1.1.2
I'll change the max from 4m to 10m

I wish I did not have to block the world. and I was seeing ip's from Russia, china, Poland, turkey, Africa, brazil accessing my system and trying to execute command.php,  ip_jason.php and other commands

my site is for family and friends only ( all in U.S.)
and it looked like the world was pinging or accessing my system.

again Thanks I'll see if that fixes the crash

@tross9:

my site is for family and friends only ( all in U.S.)
and it looked like the world was pinging or accessing my system.

Hehe. You just answered your own question. Why add rules to block the world, when you can just create a single rule to permit just the US GeoIPs?  Much more sane and efficient for the Firewall.

[tross9]

so;
If I allow inbound GeoIp rule for only US IPs then by default all other are denied?  True?.

but either way it looking like pfblocker is working. ( 100% again)
I'm now seeing the Geoip rules listed in the dashboard ( did not see any listed when using 2.1.1.2 )
no crash errors yet.
not seeing any allowed inbound from china or anywhere else
over 500 packets denied and Count > 3,000,000

Again Thanks,
I'll need to look at a reverse rule ( allow inbound US only) but I know just enough about firewalls to be dangerous or screw up the works so that no one get in our out.
