-
Increased size to 999999999, but its still not working, say the status is still down. Reinstall didnt help too. :(

Did you disabled the server before increasing the value? You need a config apply without errors before trying a new value or a new list.
Also, check custom lists if any and diagnostic tables menu.

i did the following:
deinstalled pfblocker, adjusted table size, installed pfblocker, started:

No errors, but Status is down. It shows cdir-entries, but no packets.
What action did you selected on pfblocker list? Did you enabled the service after installing?
-
top spammers selected, activated.

Do you know about android ads on free apps? it's really annoying!
If your phone is rooted you can d/l AdFree from the Google store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigtincan.android.adfree&hl=enMy Android is WiFi-only so I can Alias-block the below servers that AdFree was missing.
65.52.2.0/24 69.89.31.0/24 96.44.173.0/24 50.16.243.250/32If you want; I can dig out the host file AdFree creates in my phone, but you may need to be rooted to use it.
and
I updated my Skype ad-block list.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71477228/blacklistedads.txtI removed 2 IPs that were hampering OfficeHelp from loading properly.
I also added a bunch of ranges that my scripts collected since last post.
The new IPs came from resolving ads2.msads.net (against 6 DNS servers every 6 min for 3 weeks).Edit: Looks like MS added a bunch of new ad servers today.
questionmarket / adsafeprotected-admob-doubleclick / choices.truste.comList is updated.

Thanks Linuxtracker, the adfree worked very nice. :)

I guys, I have been very happy with the pfBlocker until I had to restore my firewall config. (failed CF due to bandwidthd).
When I brought up the firewall after "restoring" the configuration xml file, I got errors like this:
There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:163: macro 'pfBlockerTopSpammers' not defined /tmp/rules.debug:163: syntax error /tmp/rules.debug:164: macro 'pfBlockerDSHIELD' not defined /tmp/rules.debug:193: macro 'pfBlockerTopSpammers' not defined /tmp/rules.debug:193: syntax error /tmp/rules.debug:194: macro 'pfBlockerDSHIELD' not defined /tmp/rules.debug:202: macro 'pfBlockerTopSpammers' not defined /tmp/rules.debug:202: syntax error /tmp/rules.debug:203: macro 'pfBlockerDSHIELD' not defined pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded The line in question reads [163]: block in quick on $WAN from $pfBlockerTopSpammers to any label "USER_RULE: pfBlockerTopSpammers auto rule"I assume that something is not getting backed up/restored properly. I had to disable pfBlocker and reload the firewall to get it to pass packets. Any ideas?
NOTE that I also have an HA pair (CARP/XMLRPC), but this appears to have its own XMLRPC settings.

Tommy,
If you were using alias only action on your lists, pfblocker install/uninstall process will not remove your custom rules.
Second point is that pfblocker is disabled by default after install, you need to access it's gui and enable it.att,

I'm also having the same issue(s) as igor. I have max table entries set to 999999999. Reinstalled package 2 times. Restored configuration as well. I just installed pfSense itself maybe a day ago (new build). I'm using the Primary Threats blocklist from i-blocklist. I have also tried selecting country blocks. All show red arrow pointing down. :(

Marcello CoutinhoFound the problem! Thank you! For the folks hunting through google. Here you have it:
I Can't see any pflblocker rule applyed, whats wrong?
pfblocker requires at least one firewall entry (any interface) for it to be active. One way to verify is to check the front page widget. -
We got mentioned on the teksyndicate youtube feed!

Woot!
-
Awesome!!!
I have said it before and I will say it again. This package was what introduced me and brought me to pfsense to begin with. I couldn't imagine now having a firewall running without this package. Thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this Tommyboy180 and Marcelloc.. Linux tracker thanks for the lists. :-)
-
Awesome package! Works perfectly so far.
Some feature requests, which I hope you can add to make it even better:
1) Traffic being blocked by pfblocker logged in a different tab (instead of the firewall log?) Easy to debug if something is being blocked by my own rules or the pfblocker app.
I do know that you can see that if something is blocked by pfblocker you can see that by looking at the details, but when you have allot of blocked records it's hard to filter2) Users are complaing specific sites are being blocked. Is there a whitelisting feature available to ignore certain websites? Or do I have to enter them in a alias in my firewall manualy?
3) I'm using squid (transparant) would it be possible to send some kind of message to the user that the site has been blocked? Now they get a connection error which makes the user think internet is not working (they call the helpdesk). Would love to send some kind of squid access denied error page or something like that.
4) I can set more interfaces on the outbound part, this allows me to block access to certain sites (outbound) in countries on my network. The problem is that I only want to block access to these users on my WIFI interface and not my LAN (which doesn't need that much security). Would it be possible to set the outbound interface on the country tabs instead of all outbound selections?
5) Ignore tab –> where I can enter my own ip for outbound and my servers for inbound? Just to make 100 % sure these do not get blocked?

Audiaudict,
Except for the log tab, all features you've requested can be done with "alias only" list action and firewall rules.
-
Can you explain how this works ? Are you talking about the general aliasses in pfsense? Or the list tab in pfblocker?
Is there some documentation available about this?
