IP-Blocklist
-
;)
The problem is that layer7 doesn't work properly on 2.0 yet..
Also it would be nice to have some additional options to reduce p2p to a minimum…I can't believe there's no blocklist for that.. well I couldn't find one..
Please, if someone knows anything, help me out ;)
Thank you!

Hey All,
Just installed PFSense (2.0-RC1 (i386), built on Wed Apr 6 23:30:13 EDT 2011) and tried to install the IP-Blocklist package through the GUI package installer.
No matter what I do, it always is showing "You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs". I've tried using the official 'level' lists which are mentioned on the configuration page:
http://iblocklist.whitacrecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz
http://iblocklist.whitacrecomputers.com/files/bt_level2.gz
http://iblocklist.whitacrecomputers.com/files/bt_level3.gzIn addition, i've tried using the lists located here: http://www.iblocklist.com/lists.php. I make sure when entering in the address that I do so with the full path to the .gz file itself.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling again, reinstalling the package & GUI components (from the package management page). All the while, logging is enabled and yet under Status > System Logs, i see no issues or warnings being generated by the package. Every time I check the status of the package (I.E. "You are blocking 0 Networks/IPs") the package is always listed as being in a "Running" state.
Any suggestions / help? I have no idea what is wrong…

Hi All,
Please help me block single ip adress (89.34.12.145)
When I try to add rule some like NAS:89.34.12.145-89.34.12.145
It did not work. -
I have looked through this tread and can't seem to find it, how do you keep IP-Block list running? I can hit save and it will run for a little while but then when I check a few minutes later it is not running again. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and am getting the same results. I am also getting the same results with Country Block. However using the cron job below, I can at least get it going again automatically. It does make me wonder if these two packages spend more time not running than running, just how much use I am getting out of them.
*/5 * * * * root /usr/local/etc/rc.d/countryblock.sh
I should say, my assumption is always that I did something wrong, I just need a little help solving this one.

I guess this is due to another process reloading the filters. If i am correct this will remove the ipblocklist from the rules and therefore disable it.
@Tom,
Can't you add a link to '/usr/local/pkg/pf/' qouting from http://remcobressers.nl/2009/08/configuring-native-ipv6-pfsense/:After some searching on the box, i noticed that after changing things in the GUI the function filter_configure_sync() is called and the rules will be flushed.
This function can be found in /etc/inc/filter.inc (line 78). In the function, there’s a hook to a plugin directory. When the function filter_configure_sync() is called, the function will look in the /usr/local/pkg/pf directory for scripts, which will be executed. This only happens if scripts end with “.sh” as the extension.-m4rcu5

+1. I had this working about a month or two ago but now it does not work. I just updated to the latest snapshot today and tried reinstalling the package but I get the "you are blocking 0 Networks".

The BETA 2.0 shouldn't change anything with the package compatibility but it seems to change for some people. My support for BETA 2 is limited since there are new snapshots all the time and, well, it's still BETA. I will do my best to keep up with the latest but please keep in mind that if you may run into problems on BETA software.

Thanks Tom,
I understand you are doing this as time permits and you have other things to do. I also understand it is Beta. I was hoping it was just something I was missing and it would be an easy fix.
I'm not really sure if there are any logs I can capture or anything I can do to dig deeper as to why it is not working. If I can be of any help, please let me know. This is a nice package and I appreciate the work you put into it!

You can follow the process by running convert-execute.sh via the command line and watching the stdout. I will update my BETA 2.0 to the latest and check it it works. What other packages do you have installed?

You are a freaking genius! This is exactly what I was looking for! Everyone is going to be so happy once I commit these changes!
Thank you again m4rcu5! -

It should. The only reason why the package stop working is because the firewall reloaded it's rules, either because of a change you made, reboot, or the system did it.
So what this changes does it when ever there is a firewall reload the package will automatically be reloaded as well.Therefore you should have no down time and thus eliminating the need for the cron job completely. I'm still testing right now and someone else is testing embedded for me. Hopefully we get positive results.

I noticed their were new packages out available a couple of nights ago and re-installed both Country Block and IP-Blocklist, but both still stop running. Do I need to do something different to keep them running (ie, uninstall and then re-install vs just choosing the re-install option)?

To upgrade you need to uninstall and re-install. The re-install option does nothing.

Thanks. I have no other packages installed although I did have the Open-VM Tools installed since this is running in VMWare ESXi 4.1 but since that package is not working right now I removed it. I did remove this package and then install it again to make sure I am on the latest.
