pfBlockerNG MaxMind Registration required to continue to use the GeoIP functionality!

Jan 2, 2020, 12:16 AM

Thank You!

This kind of rapid response and support is why I use Patreon to support this package. Nice work BBcan!

spud · Jan 2, 2020, 10:54 AM

Ok I've been here

https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup

And done this

"Generate new license key"

Then go to

pfBlockerNG-devel - IP Tab

to

Copy/paste the new "License Key" into pfBlockerNG

I can't find anywhere to paste this license key.

So am I missing something here or what?

Thanks

Need to wait till the new pfBlockerNG update is out.

spud · Jan 2, 2020, 10:59 AM

Right don't remember reading that anywhere, thanks...

jacotec · Jan 2, 2020, 2:10 PM

Awesome support as usual :-)
I just hope that Netgate does not take too long to review the package ...

It's a package.
I guess @BBcan177 pushes out an update as soon as he finished writing and testing.

jacotec · Jan 2, 2020, 2:26 PM

@Gertjan He already pushed it ;-)
Netgate just needs to approve it ...

NogBadTheBad · Jan 2, 2020, 6:05 PM

Now available.

Maybe wait a short while.

mcury · Jan 2, 2020, 6:20 PM

I just updated, already put my license key and it's working.

havastamas · Jan 2, 2020, 6:31 PM

@NogBadTheBad Maybe because im using 2.4.x development version? (2.4.5?)

dragoangel · Jan 2, 2020, 8:18 PM

Their cloudflare antiddos such pain. Doesn't know why but it has half hour to register. Auch

NogBadTheBad · Jan 2, 2020, 9:01 PM

@havastamas

Maybe.

SteveITS · Jan 2, 2020, 11:19 PM

They mention "up to 25 keys"...do you happen to know if we need a separate key for each router, if we have more than one?

dragoangel · Jan 2, 2020, 11:25 PM

@teamits it's more about control over your account API usage. So it up to you to decide how much control you need. 1 key per software or 1 key per hardware instance or one key for all. If you directly know where you use it fine. When time is come to rotate the keys you want not to miss where you was used them :)

So I went ahead and installed pfBlockerNG 2.1.4_19 on my pfsense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 machine and signed up for an account with MaxMind and obtained a license key. I started downloading from MaxMind and am running into an issue with extracting data from the tarred database.

It appears the files have been downloaded but not untarred. The error appears to have to do with setting up the default locale for the tar command. The language on pfsense is set to English and so is MaxMind localization language. What do I need to do to fix this?

@dougs
Can you try uninstalling pfBlockerNG and trying pfBlockerNG-devel?

dougs · Jan 3, 2020, 12:40 AM

@BBcan177
Uninstalled pfBlockerNG and installed pfBlockerNG-devel 2.2.5_28. Ran update as follows:
