IP-Blocklist

You won't have any benefit with editing the .gz on the pfsense box since this is replaced with the url version every update. Editing the config or settings do not take effect until you click "Save/Update" hence the title of the button. What I suggest is to create a cron job and run IP-Blocklist.sh every hour or even every minute if you like. And just update the url .gz version. This solution only includes 2 steps so I think this is your better and simplest option.

Well I installed cron and did some research. I did the following:

minute: 0
hour: 1
mday: *
month: *
wday: *
who: root
command: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/IP-Blocklist.sh

I figure everyday at 1am should be ok. Then whenever I update the .gz file it will update the server.

Excellent. That is the best way to do that.

Love the addon. Was wondering if it could add an entry to maybe the firewall log when an ip gets blocked.

tommyboy180

I have plans to add that in the next version. Not sure when that will be but it's on my to-do list.

iblocklist.com has released a forum spam list and a web-exploit list.

If you run any type of forum I recommend that you run the forum spam list.

Just installed,

but not showing ip addresses blocked, going to look for file locations to see if this is a bug or something else missing. Offhand where are they located?

That is because your list links are wrong. Please read the FAQ on the first post (Q: My list site only give dynamic links to lists…...)
Example:
cr_bogon links to http://list.iblocklist.com/files/cr_bogon.gz
bt_spyware links to http://list11.iblocklist.com/files/bt_spyware.gz

You need to have the true url to the list. Dynamic links which are used for load balancing is not supported. BTW, I wouldn't use the bogon list if I were you. You will lock yourself out of your pfsense box.

thank you sir, did the trick. and all that time I thought….... oh well

ok cool, blocking ips. But would like to incorporate I-Blocklist subscription list. Not sure what the proper format might be since a username and id are part of the url.

possible?

I'm not really sure. My best guess would be to remove all the links you have and just add the subscription list. See if you get the counter to go up. If so then it works, if not then we can try to think of something else. Let me know, I'm curious.

Hi there,

I think there might be an incompatibility between IP Blicklist/Country Block and the HAVP antivirus proxy. Every time I start the blocklist(s) HAVP stops proxying and gives an error for every URL. Also, the control buttons to save settings only work on Firefox, Neither IE or Opera can activate them.

Hope this helps to quash a bug!

The IE incompatibility is an issue that I haven't been able to fix yet. Supermule challenged me with fixing it and I was unable to find a fix. If you would like to help, I would appreciate it. The best thing I can say right now is use FF or Chrome, who uses IE or Opera anymore anyway.

I will test with HAVP. Thank you for helping out with the project.
EDIT: Does HAVP break when you have logging enabled in the package?

Thanks for the reply! You know what, I have not tested whether it is the logging part that kills HAVP. I will try today with logging disabled on both your packages to see if HAVP likes that better.

That made me laugh :)

I tried IP Blocklist without logging enabled and it still broke HAVP. I was sad to have to uninstall IP Block… :-(

In other news, however, looks like your Country Block is working fine without interfering with other packages. Only small issue I have seen with it is that it does not start upon boot...

Thanks for your software!

tommyboy180

What version of pfsense are you running? Embedded?

Countryblock will start on startup as will IP-Blocklist. Make sure /usr/local/etc/rc.d/countryblock.sh or ipblocklist.sh is there. Check the permissions of the file. I am still testing HAVP compatibility. .

atma.es and iblocklist.com now host a list that blocks attackers who try to spy or remotely control others' computers by means such Microsoft remote terminal, SSH, Telnet or shared desktops.
Sites spreading virus, trojans, spyware, exploits, fake identities/agents, DDoS attackers and Port scans are also in the list.

atma url: http://www.atma.es/atma.p2p
iblocklist url: http://list.iblocklist.com/files/tzmtqbbsgbtfxainogvm.gz

The list is updated daily. I recommend that you include this list with your other lists.

I am running 1.2.3 x86. Lemme check the scripts to see their attributes…

Thanks!
