      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?

        @Atlanta-Mike:

        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.

        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!

            Tom, do you think this change will fix my issue?

            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.

                          This is what I get below: is it having trouble finding perl? Yea, I just checked and /usr/bin/perl doesn't exist.

                              Yes! That did it. For others, it's actually "pkg_add -r perl".

                              Thank you for the help! Any idea why my system didn't get it?

                                Not sure. Line 58 of the install script should have done it.

                                  I am on the latest snapshot and i am getting this error while trying to start Country Block :

                                  /tmp/rules.debug:189: cannot load "/usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/lists/ipfw.ipfw": No such file or directory

                                  I removed the package and installed it again already.

                                  Any suggestions ?

                                      Is it breaking your package? By that I mean are you blocking anything despite the error?

                                          Can you reword that? I don't understand if countryblock is blocking or not.
