IP-Blocklist

tommyboy180

??? well I've just installed latest build of 1.2.3 on a Gigabyte ATOM 510 board ga-510U if I remember .. 2 gig of ram and an old maxstor 320 gig single partition Sata 150 harddrive. So far its been great but I'm also in the process of trimming down the WHS and saw ip blocklist. right over with the intros..I've just installed via package manager etc copied the link for peer 1 traffic given on the blocklist manager page and received after a few mins….

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 380
no idea as to what this is referring to ?

any help

regards
Piers

That's been talked about several times on this topic. The webserver processes the ipblocklist script via php. It will run out of memory because of the way the webserver is configured. You can edit how much memory is dedicated for the webserver, however the script still runs without changing anything.
Just wait for the browser busy or loading animation (even during the out of mem error it's still running when the loading animation is present) to complete. Then reload the page (But do not 'resend')

tb yes thanks for the quick reply, my bad i do normally check through these posts b4, bloody typical that one of the first times I dont there it is staring at me.. though reloading under ff after waiting about 5 mins still only seems to load a small proportion of the ips that are loaded under peerblock…I shall test some more...and I'll now go and beat myself with a neatly trimmed willow branch....scuttles away :-[

What list are you using, the lvl1 list?

plehmann

yup lvl 1 tried all the other stuff for mem increase with no success as well. as an aside ive just re-installed pf sense due to hdd completely dying on me. after installing iblocklist and the lvl 1 it would seem that it is not loading all the ip ranges and I have almost half the number compared to peerblock thats running on windows.I've left the list continuing until the icon finished is animation in the tab then go back to the home page and back to iblocklist to check whats running etc.I dont have a clue as to whythere are less ip's , any thoughts.

Is the number of IPs, just for the lvl1 list, 223972 or 241992? I see what's happening here.
Your Lvl1 List is in fact working perfect and blocking all the IPs. The way the package gets that number is by counting how many lines are in the rule that is created which not only represents IPs but also Networks! I will update the package to reflect the correct verbiage.

unfortunately the following is happening on hte new build of pfsense

Current List(s): loading
http://iblocklist.whitacrecomputers.com/files/bt_level3.gz

ETC***

Warning! - Apply after firewall change or state reset. Use at your own risk.
error message

Current Status = NOT running
/tmp/rules.debug:55: syntax error
You are blocking 0 IPs

the lvl 1 list never got me anywhere…let me know what other information you'd like and I'll post here...

I've just re-installed all the packages that are on the box….. re-install seemed to go ok, however this did nothing for the finctioning of Iblocklist :(( ??? :'(

"Executing custom_php_resync_config_command()...done.
Writing configuration... done.
Starting service.
All packages reinstalled."

plehmann

ok, removed HAVP through installed packages dialogue….

then the error moved to line 55... so edited this by removing the following references to HAVP....

havp rdr

havp proxy ifaces redirect

rdr on proto tcp from any to () port 8080 -> lo0 port 8080

Iblocklist seems to have loaded the level 3 Ip's ok and is now running....

I'll post back if as /when I get level 1 loaded and running...
PS thanks for the change to reported ip's etc... Its realy important to me and I guess others that the reported lists are actually what is running.. I've come to trust peerblock as friedns have been handed letters and they only occasionally use bittorrent me I'm a BT whore... and I'l like to move that functionality off the server to the firewall :D

Level 1 loaded ok, this time showing 241324 blocked

phew..

It seems like ipblocklist may have some incomparability with HAVP due to the way ipblocklist inject's it's rules into the firewall config.

I will do some digging around. Glad you got it working.

Because I'm just new to pfSense (new to Linux and BSD) my box is in the process of

install pfSense
update pfSense
install packages
uninstall packages
reinstall pfSense

I think it's good for me because while I'm learning how it works little by little I have the feeling that I already memorized the process of installing/reinstalling :)

My concern is for several installation now I can't make ip-blocklist to work. Added list is not showing, though if I will add the same list I can see it is already on the list. The status also showed not running though enabled is checked. My installation/reinstallation magic is not working :)

How can I check if it is already working or not. Looks not for me because I added Onion Router and Tor list from I-Blocklist and I can still connect to Tor network.

What browser are you using?

Xthink

google chrome 5.0.375.126

I just check with firefox portable 4.0b5pre, the list is there but the status is also "Not Running". Clicking Save/Update makes it run but it's not running again when I restart pfSense. Is it normal?

The list display is also fine with IE.

I think you are missing something. 1. Paste your list link into the form and press '+'. 2. Check 'Enable IP-Blocklist. 3. Click Save/Update.

IE doesn't work with this package. Use FF.

Yesterday I noticed that Country Block also interferes with HAVP… I was sad to have to uninstall it...

Xthink

I just updated to the latest snapshot build, using ff ip-blocklist installed fine and i added

http://iblocklist.com/list.php?list=bt_level1
http://iblocklist.com/list.php?list=bt_proxy
http://iblocklist.com/list.php?list=tor

Tried to connect to tor and still works fine. The status is running.

Also, is disabling a certain list (like a checkbox) and not enable all or nothing on the plan for the future releases?

Xthink

As a follow-up, is this normal?

_Current Status = Running

You are blocking 0 IPs_

Same, using this list:
http://iblocklist.com/list.php?list=bt_level1
http://iblocklist.com/list.php?list=bt_proxy
http://iblocklist.com/list.php?list=tor

Please look back on previous posts, this has been discussed twice now. Please read the FAQ as well.
Also, I am still working on HAVP compatibility for those of you who want it. It sucks right now that one or the other has to be disabled so if there is anyone who knows php, you can help.

I am really happy to see this package! I am going to give it a shot and if all goes well I will roll it out to all my pfSense boxes.

Many thanks to the author! :)
