I have pushed another version to fix a couple of issues. So expect to see _20 or _11 depending on what pfSense version you use. Thanks.

manilx

@bbcan177 Just updated to _11.
All OK.

@bbcan177
Updated to 3.1.0_11 - all good! Thanks

@bbcan177
Updated from v3.1.0_10 to v3.1.0.11 with no issues.

Thanks for the quick update.

I've also updated and can confirm this fixed the error I was seeing with ASN.

I'm now getting:

[ Virgin_Media_UK_AS13076_v4 ]	 Downloading update .
  Downloading ASN: 13076... completed
. completed ..
  Empty file, Adding '127.1.7.7' to avoid download failure.

but I've seen that occasionally before (and why I originally set my other ASN aliases to HOLD when i suddenly found I couldn't connect from my phone externally via Wireguard or OpenVPN).

I suspect this probably just indicates a problem with the download site, rather than any underlying problem within pfBlockerNG-devel v3.1.0_11 on pfSense 2.6.0.

I've leave my test entry in there and see if it properly updates in a few days.

Thanks for such a swift update and resolution.

As an update.
I did some more digging and found my test ASN numbers didn't contain any IP ranges, so the result was expected.

Once I chose an ASN containing IP ranges. (AS5089 for what i was expecting from AS13076) then it all worked perfectly.

I am still getting some weirdness though.

I'm getting:

====================[ Empty Lists w/127.1.7.7 ]==================

Spamhaus_Drop_v4.txt

even though the link at https://www.spamhaus.org/drop/drop.txt displays correctly and contains CIDRs.

Not entirely sure what's going on there, but i'm happy to live with it.

bbcan177,

Thanks.

That's exactly what it was. Coincidentally, I had just finished checking exactly that before seeing your post. I learn something every day.

I feel I have taken this thread completely off topic. Sorry for that.

I'll crawl back into my hole and stop bothering both you and the community. I feel quite abashed at the moment.

@bbcan177

Unfortunately, ver _20 is not showing up for me on pfsense 23.01 - it's still reading ver _16. I have tried updating the repository from shell, and it's reporting that repositories are up to date.

Is there an command that I can run from shell to force the upgrade for it? I also have the portBSD repsositories enabled as well.

Thanks,

@yorke did you try to reinstall the package? Reboot?

Tigo

@tigo

I had also uninstalled it. Rebooted. Checked the branch updates, - and it’s still v_16. Installed it again - configured - rebooted and yet no v_20.

Perhaps it hasn’t been approved - pushed out yet?

I have been getting quite a bit of download/update failures on 3.1.0_11 for any feed trying to update. Going into my previously working feeds lists, when I first enabled a few with pfBlockerng still disabled on the general tab after updating, settings saved fine with no errors. Re-enabled pfBlocker, forced reload, forced update and cron seeing the "Invalid URL. Terminating Download!" for each. Looking into the same DNSBL lists noting failures, attempting to save/edit/disable any while pfBlocker is enabled displays the errors below on both boxes, verified DNS hostnames and lists are all working otherwise except the same couple that were still down prior pending maintenance:

DNSBL Source Definitions, Line 1: Invalid URL or Hostname not resolvable!
DNSBL Source Definitions, Line 2: Invalid URL or Hostname not resolvable!
DNSBL Source Definitions, Line 3: Invalid URL or Hostname not resolvable!

Yes did a clean fresh install of the PfblockerNG package 3 times with the keep settings uncheck
but the error is still showing up , I notice under the Report unified Geoip is unk but under Alert Geoip/ASN list country,
the packages i have installed are PfblockerNG, Suricata and Cron (memory usage 8% ), (MBUF Usage 3%), (State table size 0%) ( cpu usage 4%) (Swap space 0%) Service Status all green,
did some test clear the Dns Resolver log under( system logs/system/dns resolver/) these 2 lines
unbound 21493 [21493:0] notice: init module 0: python
unbound 21493 [21493:0] info: [pfBlockerNG]: pfb_unbound.py script loaded
reappear go to the dashboard the DNSBL turns yellow and gives the error

Either DNS isn't working on your box or something is blocking those urls.

BBcan177

@yorke I would backup you config and install a fresh copy of pfSense. Followed by a restore of the config.

smoke_a_J

@bbcan177 Gracias, at first I thought it was seeming similar to the inbound permit saving issue. Regardless of having most of these feeds already whitelisted, tracked it down to about 1500 some lines of regex I had came across and added a while back, most of which seemed to not be populating any alerts but invisibly blocking at random until matching the suffix/prefix portions of the code to match known alerting lines started populating the rest. I trimmed out 1300 lines to whats working, I then realized the entire 1500 lines I found were basically a reflection of the DNSBL TLD Group 1 & 2 lists. Went back to just my first 680 lines of regex and no more ghosted double filtering and running smooth

BBcan177

@smoke_a_j If you can pm or email that regex list, I can check it out to see if there is some code improvement required.

I got the same error on pfSense v2.6.0 since the upgrade to pfBlockerNG v3.1.0_11. I have cleared the error in py_error.log. Lets see if it comes back.

The report tab showns traffic being pass/block
the dashboard for DNSBL the packets stay at 0 the counter do not move, but the ip counter works

Same issue with IP Counter. It shows number of blocked IPs for a while, but when you refresh the page, counter goes to 0. This issue happens if you apply this patch via system patches package.

More details here.

If you revert this change, counter starts working as it should and it doesnt reset to 0 after some time.

Add "application/json" to list of allowed file download mime-types

I had hoped this might let pfBlocker directly download a JSON list like the one found at Microsoft Azure IPs. This is a file I manually download and then use pfSense's GUI CMD interface to upload for pfBlocker (I set the format to AUTO). Ran this on 3.1.0_11 just now.

It didn't work. So what JSON-related things were enabled with this change?

Thanks!

Description    :
Unbound is designed as a set of modular components, so that also
DNSSEC (secure DNS) validation and stub-resolvers (that do not run as
a server, but are linked into an application) are easily possible.

Goals:
    * A validating recursive DNS resolver.
    * Code diversity in the DNS resolver monoculture.
    * Drop-in replacement for BIND apart from config.
    * DNSSEC support.
    * Fully RFC compliant.
    * High performance, even with validation enabled.
    * Used as: stub resolver, full caching name server, resolver library.
    * Elegant design of validator, resolver, cache modules.
          o provide the ability to pick and choose modules.
    * Robust.
    * In C, open source: The BSD license.
    * Smallest as possible component that does the job.
    * Stub-zones can be configured (local data or AS112 zones).

Non-goals:
    * An authoritative name server.
    * Too many Features.

Keep in mind that this will parse all IPs in the json file. You could also create a new shell script to parse this JSON and get more refinement on which IPs to pull ( "Advanced Tunables - Post-Script Script" feature.)

PfblockerNG work, no more errors.
