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
|ERROR| [pfBlockerNG]: Failed to load python module 'maxminddb': No module named 'maxminddb'
|ERROR| [pfBlockerNG]: Failed to load python module 'sqlite3': No module named '_sqlite3'

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

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.

@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.

pfBlockerNG-devel 3.1.0_11 |ERROR| python module 'maxminddb
Pfsense 2.6.0-RELEASE
I upgraded pfBlockerNG-devel to 3.1.0_11 and got some issue before i upgraded everyting was work but now after the upgrade I am geting the errors listed below,
2023-01-20 18:16:12,627|ERROR| [pfBlockerNG]: Failed to load python module 'maxminddb': No module named 'maxminddb'
2023-01-20 18:16:12,627|ERROR| [pfBlockerNG]: Failed to load python module 'sqlite3': No module named '_sqlite3'

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!

It happened again after after update.

This is the content of py_error.log

Despite these errors, everything is working fine.

Description    :
Unbound is designed as a set of modular components, so that also

Goals:

    * 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.

The Link you posted is the HTML page. You need to use the direct link:

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.)

@bbcan177

I figure out why i was getting those errors some package/feature on pfsense needed to be update (ie unbound and about 4 others ) once I ran the update and reboot and reinstall
PfblockerNG work, no more errors.
Thanks BBcan177

@cmcdonald I am seeing the same error about missing python modules on 23.01 RC, was this fixed on that version as well?

Fair enough -- this means I will need to manually update the link each time, but better than copying the file from my computer up to pfSense each time, thanks!

I might have to write a screen-scraper to pull the latest URL off the download page...

I just noticed you are on Plus version of pfsense. The output that i shared is from CE edition.

bigjohns97

@nimrod That wouldn't matter, the difference between 2.6/22.x and 2.7/23.x is really what I am trying to confirm was fixed.

@BBcan177 builds the pfblockerng code but I believe netgate dev's such as @cmcdonald are who associate package prerequisites and manage how the actual package is presenting in package manager.

This is why my original question was to @cmcdonald as to whether his fix he did in this thread was also applied to the new 2.7/23.x branch.

@bigjohns97 That is very odd.

The problem is you are running older Unbound which is using Python 3.9 and not 3.11

unbound-1.17.1_2

py311-maxminddb-2.2.0_2

py39-maxminddb-2.2.0_1
py39-setuptools-63.1.0
python311-3.11.1_1
python39-3.9.16

These are the versions that we ship with 23.01-RC

I would try reinstalling unbound:

pkg install -fy unbound

bigjohns97

@cmcdonald That's odd, I also seem to be missing that 311 libzfs which I am using zfs and boot environments.

How would I go about getting these correct packages?

Edit: that worked, I now show the following.

py311-maxminddb-2.2.0_2
py311-setuptools-63.1.0
py311-sqlite3-3.11.1_8

Very strange....

I'm not sure how you've got in the state that you have, but I would first the pkg upgrade above, let that install, and then go back and try pkg upgrade again and see what it offers. It almost seems like you're still pointing at an old repository (you're version of pfSense-repo is 23.01.b)

strange.

Get the pfSense-repo package updated, and let's try again.
