I just updated, already put my license key and it's working.
How do you know it worked?
I am on pfBlockerNG-devel 2.2.5_28, added MaxMind License Key, ran update and reload, but when look at
ls -lah /usr/local/share/GeoIP/
my files dated Dec 3 2019Did it work ?
You can run the following from the command prompt to see if it updates:
"php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dc", copy and paste without the quotes. -
@chudak I'm using 2.4.4p3 with pfBlocker-NG-devel 2.2.5_28
Check if the files downloaded from maxmind are located at:
ls -lah /usr/local/share/GeoIP/
Check the logs during the maxmind download, as you can see, it downloaded a 4MB database file.

@BBcan177 , on pfBlockerNG, v2.1.4_20, it looks like if I open the plugin page (Firewall/pfBlockerNG) the MaxMind License Key field is blank. maxmind_key is populated in the saved config file, which I saved after entering it...I'm thinking maybe it's not populating correctly on the page?
(saw your comment about upgrading/moving to -devel in all cases, just haven't gotten to that yet)

Thank you very much!

I'll just add that I updated the package, filled in the key and ran an update. All went smoothly.

Maybe an Force Update can help?
Something else - I switched from pfblockerng to pfblockerng-devel an there is a increase of RAM usage from about 13% - is it also in your case?Thanks,

I checked several times yesterday and the field had the key in it each time I logged in. On a hunch waited until overnight again, and this morning the field is blank in the GUI. Seems so unlikely but is there some way it could disappear overnight? If I export the config file this morning it's missing, compared to my last export 3 days ago:
<enable_log/>
<skipfeed>0</skipfeed>
<log_maxlines>20000</log_maxlines>
<maxmind_key>****</maxmind_key>
<maxmind_locale>en</maxmind_locale>
<database_cc/>
<inbound_interface>wan</inbound_interface>vs
<enable_log/>
<maxmind_locale>en</maxmind_locale>
<database_cc/>
<skipfeed>0</skipfeed>
<log_maxlines>20000</log_maxlines>
<inbound_interface>wan</inbound_interface>FWIW this is on an SG-4860 and it hasn't restarted in months.

Hi,
just a quiston: If Idon't want to use GeoIP and set "Disable MaxMind CSV database Updates" checkbox I'm already get an notification every hour that "MaxMind need a license". Is there a way to block this spam without disabling the notification or uninistalling pfBlockerNG?
Cheers

@MarcO42
You need to disable the "Action" settings in the GeoIP tab and any IPv4/6 aliases that use the "GeoIP" state for the notifications to stop. -
Instead of sign up Maxmind, can we use IP2Location database as replacement?

Why avoid registration?
Just using MaxMind at this moment and after IP2locations integration ready, - just choose. ;) -
i followed the procedure and saved the registration key in our pfsense box, however, after ~1h I started to receive the email notifications again. when I checked back the box, the license key was missing. tried to put it again & save, same result. tried to generate a new key, no change.
does anyone know what might be wrong, please?
-
@jt Did you do a Reload/Force?
-
@jt
When you hit "save" did you get an error message... you probably didn't use the correct License key. Its only alpha-numeric with no spaces etc... -
@BBcan177 And the license key, not the token like the other guy did...
-
i did do reload
i didn't get any error message
i did fill the license key, paste as plain text, the long number, not the short one (token)still getting notifications :/
-
@jt So your Key is a 16 char mixed-case alpha-numeric something like this?

If so, I'd suggest getting a new Key.
