      Set the DNSBL Interface to use "Localhost"

          Anybody an Idea why the pfb widget stopped to count the total queries resolved by unbound since v3.0.0? I'm currently running v3.0.0_7.

            v3.0.0_7.

            Upgrade .... 3.0.0_x versions are "work in progress".
            3.0.0_8 for me right now :

            that there are no lists / feeds loaded, so it's normal nothing else is listed.

            If have 5 list loaded - with 1968 unique IP/DNSBL.

                If there were no feeds the blocked counter wouldn't be at ~250k ;-)

                here is a screenshot of my full widget

                  Just noticed that with this setup I get DNS SERVFAIL responses if pfBlockerNG matches. Should this not point to the virtual IP so that an error page has chances of being displayed? I am probably missing something.

                    pfSense 2.4.5 uses Unbound v1.10.1 which has a regression that fails to pass some information to the python modules. It has been fixed, but there is no way to upgrade Unbound to v.1.12.0 in pfSense 2.4.5.

                    In pfSense 2.5, it has Unbound v1.13.0.

                    For the DNSBL Blocking part, you can enable the checkbox in the DNSBL Tab > DNSBL Event Logging , and that will stop the python integration from logging, and use the DNSBL Webserver to log the events. Unfortunately, that is only limited to HTTP events.

                    And for DNS Reply logging, there is no other workaround.

                    Not much I can do unfortunately.

                    Hey @BBcan177 we already talked about that back when we exchanged mails but: Are you planning on switching trees with the upcoming 2.5 release? Make 3.0.x finally the stable version and go on developing in the devel branch again, so the customers can have a "stable" version again?

                    I get asked about that over and over and over and with all the changes in the devel up to 3.x I think it would be time to switch it back to stable so people finally ditch the "oldstable" and get the new one which would make support easier, too :)

                    What are your plans on that? And can we perhaps get together again about the whole HA/CARP thing?

                    Best wishes!
                    Cheers

                      Hi,

                      I'm on pfSense 2.4.5 and pfBlockerNG 3.0.0.8.

                      After enabling the Unbound python mode for DNSBL and doing the Force Reload-DNSBL Unbound Resolver was stopped and did not start again.

                      I found the following information in the pfBlocker logfile:
                      | ...

                      Any ideas about this problem?

                          Doesn't work. Unbound is still down after reboot and can only be restarted after I uncheck the option "Eable Python Module".

                            Increase the Resolver Log Level to "2", Save/Apply. Do you see any errors?

                              Do you mean "Raw FilterLogs"? If not, where can I change the log level to level "2"?

                              Regards

                                  1. pfBlockerNG
                                    a) Change Unbound -> Unbound python mode
                                    b) Save
                                    c) Force Reload All
                                    d) Reload hangs when restarting Unbound Resolver

                                  2. Switching to DNS Resolver tab after click on the logout button
                                    a) Start service
                                    b) Service does not start

                                  Resolver log:

                                      I reinstalled pfBlockerNG and triggered Forced Reload-DNSBL. Everything seemed fine and DNS resolver was up with Unbound python mode.

                                      Then I rebooted the box for a second check and unfortunately the resolver was down again with error "can't open file pfb_unbound.py for reading".

                                        You can't use RamDisks, since the /var/ folder is wiped on reboot. Need to disable that option, and reinstall once more to get the python script back.

                                          Ouch! That's it. Thanks for your help. Now everything works fine. :-)

                                            I'm looking for a little clarification regarding the unbound config changes after switching to python mode.

                                            1. I've notice that unbound is unstarted after any pfBlockerNG-devel v3.x.x package updates. DNS lookups fail so I have to manually restart it.
                                            2. The docs indicate to change the interface to localhost in unbound. I assume it's the "Outgoing Network Interfaces" (now set to "localhost") and not the "Network Interfaces" (currently set to "all") above it.
                                            3. My DNS settings in general setup already has localhost configured (Disable DNS Forwarder is unchecked) as one of the upstream DNS servers. Do I keep this config or remove 127.0.0.1?
                                              127.0.0.1
                                              9.9.9.9
                                              149.112.112.112
                                              2620:fe::fe
                                              2620:fe::9

                                            So...have I made the correct changes? It seems to be working so far but want a 2nd opinion via another set of eyes to make sure I've understood the intended setup.
