pfBlockerNG IP Reputation

This picture is worth many words!

[NollipfSense]

No one else reproduced the above result? Is it that IP reputation had been removed from the package?

Noop.

Works for me.

Btw : The php file exists :

[Bob.Dig]

I had this some month ago, installation was corrupt.

[NollipfSense]

@Gertjan Wow ... thank you for sharing. What folder did you select to view the file?

[NollipfSense]

@Bob-Dig I'll reinstall pfBlockerNG.

[NollipfSense]

Reinstalling pfBlockerNG did not fix; so, I'll need to reinstall pfSense.

When removing pfBlocker, the usr/local/www/pfblockerng/ directory should be gone, or, at least empty.
When you re install, that file doesn't come back ??

Re installing pfSEnse will not generate these files.

File system problems ?

Okay Gertjan, I did not completely remove it ... just reinstalled it and it's the same. So, I will remove it then check to be sure the directory is gone or empty. Thank you!

Completely removed pfBlockerNG, keep setting, and reinstall ... same issue. The directory was there but empty. I'll try removing again then delete the directory.

[NollipfSense]

This is the only file in the directory when pfBlockerNG is removed.

Then, when reinstalling pfBlockerNG, some how IP reputation.php is not included.

Hello!

Did you run a full update of pfbng? I think that file might be dynamically generated at some point during that process.

Yep, I confirm.
It's not included in the package file - neither referenced in the manifest.
It's a package build issue.
Some one should inform @BBcan177.

Maybe the reputation functionality was removed from pfBlocker ?

I can rename any file in that directory, re install pfBlockerNG, and the file will reapaer.
Except the pfblockerng_reputation.php file.

It's a static web page.
pfBlockerNG does not generate this page.
An exception exists : the /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/www/dnsbl_active.php page, which is copied from the dnsbl_default.php file by pfBlockerNG itself. This is the way we select the default "Blocked Webpage" - made our own one.

Hello!

I am new to pfsense and still working through much of the code. Maybe you can help.

How and when are the pfblocker reputation and country xml files generated?
What is the purpose of the pkg.php system?
Does pkg ever save/cache the php it dynamically generates from xml for performance or other reasons?

Thanks!

Hello!

You could try running :

php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php gc

To recreate the reputation and country php files.

I have been thinking along those lines because I noticed also that Maxmind data had not loaded despite providing my key.

[NollipfSense]

@Gertjan Do you also have the MaxMind feed loaded?

[NollipfSense]

@serbus said in pfBlockerNG IP Reputation:

php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php gc

Hey John, I am reporting that worked. However, the command result shows geolocation files not found confirmed that IP reputation list is derived from geolocation feed. Just discovered making the page had produced a crash

Well .... @servus is right.
I was wrong.
This file "reputation" IS actually regenerated out of /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php ...

@NollipfSense : Yes, I have an activated MaxiMind account.

@NollipfSense : How many files - what ype of files do you have here /usr/local/share/GeoIP/cc/ ?

I have more the 1500 files - it depends probably on which regions I've selected, I guess.
Some of them have a time stamp like 03/09/2019 - others 07/05/2020 - and the better part was downloaded just today : 25/05/2020 - 07h17.

Also : /usr/local/share/GeoIP/ ? This directory gets filled with files from MaxMind - if you have an account with them.

So : files actually get downloaded , No file system full ? Run a "fsck" just to be sure.

Btw : The Diagnostic > Command propmpt : never use that one. It could hide stuff. Keyboard command belong on a real command line. It's one click away with Putty or any other SSH client. Better get used to it ^^

Appeared empty!

@Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG IP Reputation:

Also, appeared empty!

[serbus]

Hello!

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

should re-download the maxmind files. They should appear in the /usr/local/share/GeoIP folder.

the "dc" command will also run the "ugc" functions after the download.
