PfBlocker
-
but I did modify one of them and got surprised when the modification was lost :o after a pfBlocker restart.
I'm not sure now, but maybe copy or the rule disappeared too !?
When you copy a rule, you must change pfblocker description to something without pfblocker and rule
In the end it is easier to just use aliases, that way you can choose the order of the rules.
yes, it's realy usefull.

@WarMachine357:
I created an outbound rule using the ads, spyware, and level 3 list. Once I enabled pfblocker all wireless client stopped accessing the internet. My wired desktop worked perfectly fine. I disabled pfblocker and the wireless clients started working again. Any ideas?
Do your wireless clients are on the same subnet as LAN users?
Check rules with pfBlocker enabled and disabled
-
Yeah, they are are the same subnet. The pfsense box hands out dhcp to them. The outbound rule I created comes before the default LAN rule LAN NET. Also, the ntp server in pfsense provides service to the wireless ap.

If wired and wireless machines are on the same subnet and using the same dhcp, I have no idea how pfsense or pfblocker could block one and do not block other. It's weird to me.
-
I have found by moving the rule after the allow rules the wireless clients work. But, that doesn't seem right does it?
-
I agree that it doesn't make sense. What happens to one should happen to the other. But, did you see what I said about moving the rule to the bottom?

No it's not.
An outbound rule blocks access from any to pfblockerAlias.
If you have one rule that permits traffic, the deny rule will have no effect.
-
Maybe level3 list is blocking all your network and the pfsense keep-state for your machine gives you a false diagnostics.
Remove level3 list and see if it works.

HI everybody,
Version 0.1.4.5 is out with all planned features coded. 8)
main changes:
-
Dashboard widget includes package hit on applied aliases (10 second update)
-
Change in rule description to allow widget package count
-
Update frequency implemented
Important note for custom rules
keep aliasname in the beggining of rule description and do not end description with 'rule'.
Once again, thank you for testing this amazing new tool for pfsense. ;)
-
-
Just reinstalled.
Strange things happens when you switch to Alias
Description: pfblockerWAN Inbound rule will disappear
Description: pfblockerWAN Inbound will persistStill showing 0 in the widget after 10 minutes
-
I've changed important note for better understanding.
Aliasname something rule will be removed by package.
To test rule packet count, block your own country While you are locally on your office/home.
DO NOT TRY THIS REMOTELY.
A less risky test is:
-
define your own country action as alias only
-
create a rule that deny outbound icmp access on lan.
-
include description as described
-
apply rules
-
Open Dashboard
-
try to Ping someone on your country.
-
-
Still showing 0
I picked one host in the Diagnostics: Tables pfblocker table.
I can ping from LAN or pfsense no problem
Nothing is showed as blocked in the firewall logs !??rules are on WAN only
Reject and log * * * pfBlockerWAN * * none pfBlockerWAN Outbound Block and log * pfBlockerWAN * * * * none pfBlockerWAN Inbound -
If you are testing from lan, the blocking rule must be on lan.
It's a statefull firewall. All rules are set where communication begins.
-
So I should have
on the LAN
Reject and log * * * pfBlockerWAN * * none pfBlockerWAN LAN - Outbound
on the
WAN Block and log * pfBlockerWAN * * * * none pfBlockerWAN WAN - InboundI see the widget Packet number changes ;o)
How do you block the pfsense box from accessing these aliases?
-
On floating rules, but it may not show in widget.
Floating rules are not impelmented in this version but you can apply pfBlocker alias on it.
-
I just created a rule on the Floating tab…. and the Packets blocked are updated in the widget ;D
However the rule
Reject and log * * * pfBlockerWAN * * none pfBlockerWAN Floating Outbound
disappeared in the Floating tab after a save in pfBlocker …..!!!
same thing with
pfBlockerWAN Floating
pf BlockerWAN Whateverbummer :(
-
As I told you, floating rules are not implemented but i'll try the same test here and see what happens.

Hi,
ok, reinstalled on nanobsd and boot is much better. Got a new problem though: While the genaral and top spammers pages look good, I get the below instead of country lists for the others. Example below. Country.txt seems to load at install though, have also reinstalled package and rebooted - no change. Hence the drop down lists are missing.
Thanks!
 -
The countryipblocks.net removed the lists :-[
I will point it to files.pfsense.[b]EDIT
Just did it.
wait 15 minutes and reinstall package.
-
Probably should not have users directly pull those lists anyhow, but keep them local and update them periodically. I have a feeling that too many people accessing their systems automatically may have been part of their decision to shut the service down.
