Unblock a specific website
-
Hi,
I encounter an issue with pfsense blocking a specific site: www.mirrors.kodi.tv, I put this site to a white list but that did not work. Any suggestions?. -
pfSense doesn't block any IP (host name).
It doesn't have a white list neither.The default LAN firewall rule allows a connection to any IP, exceptions.
Why do you think your firewall is blocking access to www.mirrors.kodi.tv ?
-
@gertjan From my mobile using mobile network I have no problem accessing that site.
-
@andrzejls If pfBlockers logging would work it would be easily spotted which list is responsible...
So yeah, wrong board.

Me neither.
I have no blocking (outgoing connections) firewall rules.@bob-dig said in Unblock a specific website:
pfBlockers
pfBlockers ? He posted in the firewall forum.
If the issue started with pfBlockerng, then :
Remove all the IP and/or DNSBL feeds : problem solved.
Only add back feeds that do not contain the IP or hostname involved. => solved.
Or whitelist the DNSBL and/or IP. ( and reload pfBlockerng - and restart/flush the local DNS cache on the phone/device/pc whatever).
-
When I use MOBILE network I have no problem. When I connect through pfsense router I cannot access this site, it is blocked by pfsense. So how I can unblock it?
-
Are you using pfBlockerng-devel, or not ?
If not, what are your (LAN) firewall rules ? -
@andrzejls remove de www. part

@gertjan Yes, I am using pfBlockerNG_Devel. The good news is that I found the culprit: SNORT. It would not download free "Subscriber" rules giving en error:
"Downloading Snort Subscriber rules md5 file snortrules-snapshot-29200.tar.gz.md5...
Checking Snort Subscriber rules md5 file...
There is a new set of Snort Subscriber rules posted.
Downloading file 'snortrules-snapshot-29200.tar.gz'...
Done downloading rules file.
Snort Subscriber rules file download failed. Bad MD5 checksum.
Downloaded Snort Subscriber rules file MD5: e021251cbb448a6bb3c8c143e4fcdc99

Snort Subscriber rules file download failed. Snort Subscriber rules will not be updated."After I deselected this option and downloaded other rules, I got "success" result and now all is working minus Snort free Subscriber rules.
The pfsense I run is 22.05 and Snort 4.16. -
@m_devil Yes, "www.." it is not there. The entry is .mirrors.kodi.tv
