IP-Blocklist

Supermule

YES PLEEEEASE!! ;)

Haha.

Well I think that's enough for me. Look for the Country Block package here soon.

killervette

Will this allow me to block all countries except the US?

Supermule

Yes…

I got most of the PG2 packages installed from iblocklist.com except the country ones which didn't come up in .gz format. Reading the previous posts, I went to www.countryipblocks.net and made the "IP Range" for the countries desired and then attempted the gskinner.com which got me all confused. I didn't understand the "find a replace, do a find for… and a replace for..." in reply #53.

This leads me to my question - is there a simple PG2 file that has all the countries in one and then if I were to add individual countries on the whitelist would that override the manual list?

I ask this so that everything is blocked by default unless I were to specifiy otherwise without having to reparse a new list (or add every single country individually) everytime I need to give access to a certain country.

Otherwise this is a really cool package and thank you!

You will need to create a small list

Website1:192.168.1.100-192.168.1.100
website2:192.168.1.101-192.168.1.101
website3:192.168.1.102-192.168.1.102
website4:192.168.1.103-192.168.1.103

That list will work perfect. Now just upload the list to a site where you can download and add to the package.

Anothe thing: I use my pfsense box to establish adsl connection with isp. Whenever it reconnects, ip-blocklist is disabled because pfsense reloads stuff. Can this be corrected?

jigpe

thanks for the reply, but its about exceptions tom..i have two users.user1 is allowed to access https site2 and https site1 but is not allowed to access https site3..user2 is not allowed to access https site2 and https site3 but allowed to access https site1..i can block http sites but i cannot block https :(..i need to open 443 because i use gmail and other email that uses 443..the sites that im going to block is facebook.com, youtube.com,friendster.com and multiply.com. i already block http using squid..but user will use https, i cannot block https :( please share your knowledge…thanks

Here's a question. I have taken this as straight forward but apparently I'm doing something wrong. I installed the package, added the URLs (with .gz), rebooted, and then "Save/Update" however the status continues to say "NOT running" and even after rebooting.

I did find a post mentiong a possible uninstall/reboot/reinstall/reboot/add .gz URLs/reboot/enable would work but alas it has not. Please verify what I may be doing wrong. Thank you.

Use Firefox as a browser….. I did an it worked...

Hey good idea lol…I normally use Opera and when things don't work I try out IE which seems to be the "overall default" of web designers. Here is what I receive when I used Firefox:

(after a minute and by itself)
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 81 bytes) in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 380

(right below "Current Status = NOT running")
/tmp/rules.debug:90: syntax error

I did upgrade my system from 256MB to 768MB even though the above bytes considered 128MB...some allocation somewhere that needs to be set?

The Allowed memory error is the webserver hitting a limit set in php.ini. You can increase this limit if you like, however the package will still work properly just let it finish before you refresh the page. In FF you can still see the loading animation in the tab even with that error, wait for that to finish.

Take a look at Cino's post on page 2 http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,24769.msg130002.html#msg130002

EDIT: You only get this error when you use large lists or a huge collection of lists.

Gee good point - and the same list. It does say "Fatal error…" and no other text but I'll let it sit for a while and see what happens. How would I go about editing php.ini manually and is it line 380? With 768M of RAM would it be wise to set it to 256M (268435456 bytes)?

tommyboy180

Edit the memory_limit cvar to 256
ie. memory_limit = 256

Where would I go to change that though?

There are two php.ini files and I forget which one you need to edit.

/usr/local/lib/php.ini
/usr/local/etc/php.ini

I would just add or edit to "memory_limit = 128M" I woudn't do more than 128M because that's all you should need.

Just edit one and reboot. See if that works.

Well I did find the /usr/local/lib/php.ini and did not find a /usr/local/lib/etc/php.ini (for those with the same problem). I went to Diagnostics –> Edit File and loaded the former and found the memory_limit = 32M and changed it to 128M. Then I rebooted and the php.ini file reset back to 32M. I tried to enable IP Blocklist and received this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 81 bytes) in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 380

with this under "Current Status = NOT running" : /tmp/rules.debug:112: syntax error

Hmm... ideas?

tommyboy180

It is probablly set in a config file like /etc/inc/config.inc

I can't seem to increase the memory size, it stays at 12M no matter what I change.

/etc/inc/config.inc even says:

/* Set memory limit to 32MB, this is required for large configurations
 * A XML config of about 500KB will trigger the default of 12MB
 * Setting the memory_limit parameter in the php.ini does not seem to
 * take any effect. Also, that would be too late in the boot process
 */
ini_set("memory_limit","128M");

So I'm not sure. Open a new topic and ask the question.

Well I believe I found my problem. I opened /tmp/rules.debug and scrolled to the line:

havp proxy ifaces redirect

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

and put a "#" in front of the offending line rdr… I don't know what exactly this line is for but I did uninstall the HAVP. It wasn't running yet but I was wanting to test it out for AV purposes down the road. It left the above code behind so I commented it out. I did get this error code the next time I attempted to save/update:

Warning: file_get_contents(wlists.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/packages/ipblocklist/ipblocklist.php on line 30 Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12 bytes) in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 380

Good news is though it says it is "running" which how could I confirm? Or is this just one of those blind faith things...
