After Update to pfBlockerNG 3.2.7 (25.07-RELEASE) pfb_dnsb won´t start

Beerman

Hi,

I upgraded my pfSense to 25.07-RELEASE and with it also pfBlockerNG to 3.2.7, but now the pfb_dnsb service no longer starts...

I tried a “force_update” and reboots. I also tried reinstalling pfBlockerNG.

When starting the service manually with

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/pfb_dnsbl.sh start

I get

025-08-05 18:17:28: (/wrkdirs/usr/ports/www/lighttpd/work/lighttpd-1.4.76/src/network.c.604) bind() 10.255.255.254:443: Can't assign requested address

10.255.255.254 is the DNSBL Webserver address...

Any ideas? Thx! :)

Seems to be related to CARP...

If I change to "IP Alias" it´s working. I just can't get the service to work with CARP.

With CARP, I don´t see the IP with ifconfig. Just don´t seem there.

@Beerman try to set the dnsbl Web Server Interface to "localhost"

Thx, but I tried this already. Won´t start, with CARP. :(
And I don´t get the IP (10.255.255.254) with ifconfig.

@Beerman if it's set to localhost it won't add the dnsbl IP. It uses 127.0.0.1 instead. Did you try a fresh reboot

If I go to "FirewallVirtual IPs" and just save the (10.255.255.254) VIP (without editing anything) I get the IP with ifconfig. And the CARP status changed to "MASTER". (Before it was only the "green arrow" without Master.) Now, I can start the service.

But after a force update (in Firewall/pfBlockerNG/Update), the IP disappears again and the service stopped running.

w0w

So you're using the CARP IP address for the pfBlockerNG redirects? May I ask why that's necessary?
