Update lists fail

Kai_null · May 10, 2018, 5:52 AM

Is the date time correct on the pfsense box?

@Kai_null:

Is the date time correct on the pfsense box?

Yup, the dashboard pfS reads "Current date/time Thu May 10 11:23:16 CEST 2018"

btw what is your MaxMind from, here it reads in the dashboard "MaxMind: Last-Modified: Mon, 06 Nov 2017 19:15:47 GMT"

MaxMind: Last-Modified: Tue, 03 Apr 2018 22:41:00 GMT

I am out of good ideas to help you :(.

I did see this which I thought was interesting:
https://serverfault.com/questions/681835/freebsd-pfsense-root-ca-fails

Suggests to me your problem is not with pfblockerng but rather with openssl. Perhaps it is unable to update its cert store?

other ideas which may or may not help you:

wish I had answers for you.

Curious to know what you eventually find.

ps: I have found that a 2 am reinstall in some cases is a quicker bug fix then diving down the rabbit hole. I guess it depends on how stock your config is.

@Qinn

All of those feeds are hosted on Github and/or Amazon, so I would assume that a DNSBL Feed or an IP Blocklist is blocking access on download… Check the pfBlockerNG Alerts Tab...

Might need to whitelist:

raw.githubusercontent.com
s3.amazonaws.com

or wildcard whitelist the whole domain

.githubusercontent.com
.amazonaws.com

For the MaxMind issue, from the pfSense box, check to see if you can access the MaxMind site:

host -t A geolite.maxmind.com
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.37.47
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.38.47

Then try to ping the resulting IPs and get a reply.

The MaxMind download errors are reported to the error.log file…

Once you have fixed connectivity, you can manually download the MaxMind database with this command:

php -f /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dc

a```
host -t A geolite.maxmind.com

returns```
geolite.maxmind.com has address 10.10.10.1

If I disable DNSBL I get

host -t A geolite.maxmind.com
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.38.47
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.37.47

I added .geolite.maxmind.com to the Custom Domain Whitelist in DNSBL, but nothing changes, still I get the ip of the VIP, instead op 104.16.etc.

When you manually add a domain or an IP to a whitelist, you need to run a Reload to get it to apply the change or wait until the next cron run to execute… Alternatively, when you whitelist from the Alerts Tab, the whitelist/suppression will take effect immediately.

Qinn · May 12, 2018, 2:32 PM

Thanks yeah I was pulling my hair ;) After I added it to the whitelist, I did a "Select 'Reload' option" All and hit run got a "exists" in return. Then I realized it and a reload solved it.

Now

host -t A geolite.maxmind.com
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.37.47
geolite.maxmind.com has address 104.16.38.47

Now I works, btw I can do a manual update of MaxMind, but when will pfblockerNG do it automatically?

Thanks BBCan177 I hope everything it going well with the next major release, thumbs up!!

MaxMind is updated once per month. You will see the cron task in pfSense for that…

Thanks! Its been submitted and awaiting review by the devs...

Thanks, did a manual update and worked like a charm.

I did a```

RonpfS · May 20, 2018, 4:26 PM

Did you leave MaxMind Updates unticked ?

There is a Cron package you can install ;)

The job run from 4th to 10th of the month

/usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dcc >> /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log 2>&1

Thanks for you reply RonpfS. Nope I haven't disabled it, I just thought a```
crontab -l

RonpfS · May 21, 2018, 5:14 PM

On my system I get :

crontab -l

crontab: no crontab for root
```  :o

Qinn · May 22, 2018, 3:13 PM

So what does the MaxMind updates trigger?

Qinn · Jun 5, 2018, 4:09 PM

@qinn Is there a way to check when the next update of MaxMind will run?

RonpfS · Jun 5, 2018, 4:09 PM

@qinn You can check /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log to see when the last update was done.

Qinn · Jun 5, 2018, 4:31 PM

Thanks, nice overview btw of the last 2 years, seems I have to wait for 11 juni (when updating comes once a month)

Qinn · Jun 22, 2018, 3:43 PM

Hmm it's been well over a month and as from what it looks in the dashboard MaxMind isn't updated, I looked in

cat /var/log/pfblockerng/extras.log

and it reads:

So it confirms that the last one, was the one I did manually, what goes wrong, why doesn't it update automatically once a month?

Thnx for any advise
