IP-Blocklist

tommyboy180

So I rm the package rm -R /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist" and "rm /usr/local/etc/rc.d/IP-Blocklist.sh"
I reinstalled, doesn't block any .gz list

Removed, uninstallation went fine, the menu are not present in Firewall menu :)

Install again, still You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs

I modified /etc/inc/config.inc from 128MB to 256M and /usr/local/lib/php.ini from 32M to 128M
no change (not sure if I have to reboot or not)

Uninstall is my next move

Uninstall the package from your package manager page and then re-install. That should do it. The rm -R command was only for those that still had a link after uninstalling and still had the package installed.

It seem to working perfectly, without any issues. However, how do I know it's actively blocking in real time, is there's a way to monitor this similar to logfile? I enabled Logging, and I don't see it under Status > System Logs

DigitalJer

hm, I seem to be failing at everything, lol.

Uninstall IP-Blocklist OK, but link remains.

Executed the CL as suggested above to remove the link, and the link remains (when clicked, 404 - Not Found). Reboot / reinstall / uninstall in any/every order doesn't seem to help, IP-Blocklist 3.0 keeps installing (instead of 3.0.1), and Running, but Blocking = 0 Networks.

An old config is preventing you from getting the new version. I forget where the directory is but I think it somewhere near /usr/etc/pkgs or something like that. Just delete everything IP-Blocklist/ipblocklist.

I can't tell for sure since I'm away from home right now (working on my CCENT/CCNA). If you can't get it working let me know, I can probably get a VM of pfsense up if I need to.

firestrife23

just a small feature request, can you add this to bottom of whitelist page like "You're currently unblocking #### IPs"

DigitalJer

Found a cpl ipblockist.* in /usr/local/pkg -deleted them, same prob(s) still exist - no worries though, thanks for the tip :)

Hey good buddy. I was on a wicked old version, like 2.2.1, something like that. I am having no luck getting the latest to work for me. I tried looking all over the fs, using your other awesome package btw, and couldn't find anything in terms of remnants from a past config.

The newest package installs fine, but when I add .gz lists I still have 0 showing for number of blocks with service Running. Any ideas? Thanks again!

I have some ideas. First are you using 1.2.3 or the BETA 2.0? I have been having problems keeping this package working smoothly for those with BETA2.0. Someone was kind enough to agree to send me a laptop for development but unfortunately it hasn't arrived yet.
If you're on 1.2.3 then we should be able to figure it out quickly. Just to confirm you have IP-Blocklist ver 0.3.0 or 0.3.1 correct?
Can you try this .gz file: http://iblocklist.dbnservers.net/files/bt_ads.gz Just to be sure.

Edit: By the way thank you for your suggestion for a whitelist feature a long time ago. I hope you can enjoy the package here soon.

DWAyotte

I was very excited to see the whitelist! I can't wait to start using it. I have been plenty happy with the package so far, as you can tell, I haven't upgraded since I first installed it :)

I am on pfSense 1.2.3 with IP Blocklist 0.3.1 and I did as you suggested, adding this list: http://iblocklist.dbnservers.net/files/bt_ads.gz

Still shows running with 0 blocked.

This might be a really stupid question but do you have the enable check box checked before clicking save?

SSH in to your system and check the contents of /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists The .gz file should be in that directory if it got downloaded correctly. Also check the contents of /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfw and see if there is anything in there.

DWAyotte

No worries man.

Yes the box is checked to enable.

# ls -l /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists
total 132
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  133982 Dec 30 18:00 bt_ads
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel       0 Dec 30 22:25 ipfw.ipfw
#

tommyboy180

So it looks like the ads file does get downloaded but for some reason it's not being processed to ipfw.ipfw.

Check the format of the bt_ads file. If it looks good then run /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/convert-execute.sh from the command line manually so you can see any errors if any.

Tommyboy having the same issue ipfw.ipfw 0

/usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/convert-execute.sh
no errors just a list of numbers 0 to 283

everything was working good for months then

You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs

all .gz files did download and listed in the dir
haven't installed anything new or did any updates

uninstall and reinstall about 6 times with no luck

tommyboy180

I just installed a fresh copy of pfsense 1.2.3 and installed the latest IP-Blocklist. Added the bt_ads.gz URL and everything worked.
I'm surprised you didn't get any errors from running the executable.

Does that packages at least tell you that it's running?

On command line run "pfctl -s rules | grep ipblocklist". Paste output.
Also see if "pfctl -T show -t ipblocklist" has any output but don't paste.

If you want you can email me your config file and I will be able to figure out the issue much faster.

EDIT: My output from convert-execute.sh looks like this:

./convert-execute.sh

Kill that table and start over. Uncheck the enable checkbox and click save but before you re-enable it make sure that it's gone by running "pfctl -s rules | grep ipblocklist" again to make sure it's all gone.

Reload the firewall filter too to regenerate your rules.debug. Then enable the package and try again. (rebooting is easiest or edit a firewall rule without making changes and save, doing Status->Filter Reload does not work for this)

Also edit /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/interfaces.txt and replace everything in there with "any" on the first line and save the file. I have had some problems by specifying the interface for IP-Blocklist to use and there really is no advantage to it. Only specify interfaces if you absolutely need it and even then it still might work correctly.

I'm not sure why your output from /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/convert-execute.sh didn't include the errors and warnings that mine had. You should see that two tables got deleted and it should produce an error on deleting those TEMP files that don't exist.

I'm not sure how comfortable you are with strangers looking at your system but if you give me SSH access I can figure out what's going on faster or make a snapshot of the box. I know that's a little extreme to troubleshoot a package but I'm really curious why it's not working for you.

Are you running countryblock by any chance, and if so is that working?

Hi tommyboy!

I am VERY happy to report that I am no longer seeing any issues between IPBlockList, CountryBlock and HAVP! THANK YOU!

Quick Q: will the URLs from iblocklist work in their regular format (http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=ynkdjqsjyfmilsgbogqf), or do we have to point to the .gz file directly? I ask because I had a bunch of direct links to the gz files, and IPBL showed 103000 blocked networks… I replaced them all with the /?listname links, and now I am showing only 1978 blocked IPs/Networks.

Also, how can I set up IPBL so it will automatically update the lists every night?

Thanks!

Glad to hear it!
You do have to directly link to the lists. Perhaps in the future I may find a way around this.
To have the package update your lists every night you can edit the cron executable which is located at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/IP-Blocklist.sh

Just comment out lines 3-14 and it should be good. Setup a cron job to run this executable whenever you like. Use the cron job package for that.

Pistolero

Thanks for the quick reply!

What is the best repository to get at the gz files directly? is it this? http://list11.iblocklist.com/files/

Do you have a preferred source, and also what are your favorite lists?

I didn't know that there was a directory listing! I usually download the list and go back to my download history and copy the address. I am working on a way to upload lists but I won't have that out for some time. I usually use iblocklist.com for most of my lists.

My favorite lists include the following:

http://iblocklist.dbnservers.net/files/bt_spyware.gz
http://withhorns.com/files/ficutxiwawokxlcyoeye.gz

http://www.tomschaefer.org/temp/pfsense/MISC-Block.txt

The TomSchaefer.org ones are my custom lists that I made.
