      Yeah that dawned on me after I posted ;)  If your running any sort of service that is open to the public, email/web/ntpd/ftp/etc then yeah it makes sense.. Might have to give it a test run, what would be nice is if it logged hits to this rule in a different log vs just firewall log so could see what kind of traffic getting from the bad IPs – for curiosity sake.

      I don't really run anything open to the public other than p2p and ntpd (pool.ntp member)  My ssh and openvpn access is locked down to require cert, etc.  So no issue with bruteforce and and have linux box that runs sshd blocking IPs on 4 bad attempts anyway to keep the logs from filling up.

        If possible could you add in block lists for the following hostile lists:

        • Russian Business Network (bad), dshield and botnet CnCs - http://rules.emergingthreats.net/fwrules/emerging-Block-IPs.txt
        • Compromised hosts - rules.emergingthreats.net/blockrules/compromised-ips.txt
        • Russian business network malvertisers - http://rules.emergingthreats.net/blockrules/rbn-malvertisers-ips.txt
        • Ciarmy list - http://ciarmy.com/

        I blocked these inbound and outbound on my firewall already by linking a URL alias to these lists so it downloads them and then put that Alias in a block all traffic to and from on LAN & WAN interfaces and that stops my network talking to these IPs.

        It would be nice though to have a tool where I could say click to block them and it will put the correct block in the firewall. You can get seperate lists for Dshield, RBN etc. I think this would help extend lots of blocking capabilities of bad hosts, malware command and control servers, bad servers distributing malware etc to normal users.

          It will be in version 0.1.4. these lists has only single ips.

            The first one (http://rules.emergingthreats.net/fwrules/emerging-Block-IPs.txt) is a mix of single IPs and CIDR, apparently discrete lists concatenated one after another.

              That list seems to be a combination of some lists on iblocklist.com. It looks like it's already available in a format that pfblocker could use in version 1.3.
              Check iblocklist.com for any lists that you want. I'm guessing chances are it's there.

                  pfBlocker version 1.4 is out.

                  Main improvements:

                  • Url Lists now has it's own tab and many new options, including reading local files instead of urls

                  • Each continent as well top spammers has it's own alias and rule action.

                  • pfBlocker now reads CIDR, ips and network rages on files/urls.

                  • More intuitive way to choose action in lists.

                  • More control checks to avoid pfctrl error messages

                  I will wait feedback about these changes and stability before coding update frequency lists.

                  We are almost there.

                    just updated to new version and there is a problem with widget

                    enabling it will cause other widgets (not all) not to be displayed (ex : interface statistics)

                            There were error(s) loading the rules:

                              This happens when pfBlocker is running While filter reloads. Boot is one of these cases.

                              This is not a big deal as pfBlocker call filter reload when finish.

                                  I would recommend you to detect that you are at boot phase and do not don anything.

                                  I generally do not like that packages call filter_configure() but rather would like packages to go and use pfctl themselves and exploit the anchors, though it needs more familiarity with pfctl.

                                      The first generation of this package (countryblock) was editing /tmp/rules.debug. cmd asked tommyboy to change the way package apply rules.
                                      The fist idea to improve stability was using pfsense 2.0 native options to edit rules. So current version of pfblocker create aliases, rules and then apply with filter_configure(). This was the best way I found to apply rules when users saves pfBlocker's conf.

                                        Great package. I have installed the latest version and I am wondering what happened to the deny inbound/outbound option? There are cases where you may block traffic to and from these countries (like countries which both do a lot of attacks, spam etc and host a lot of malware you do not want your users contacting. Is it possible to put that back in please? Thank you

                                              In special cases, you can choose alias only option and create your own rule using alias pfBlocker created.

                                              You can also add this list into two aliases and block inbound one and block outbound other.

                                                The way pfBlocker downloads list is different then ipblocklist.
                                                To increase php memory limit, edit php.ini:

                                                php.ini location path is:

                                                /usr/local/etc/php.ini

                                                Edit the memory_limit cvar to 256
                                                ie. memory_limit = 256

                                                save file and reboot

                                                @firbc:

                                                And after I put some smaller bloclist I get another error:
                                                php: : There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:21: cannot define table pfBlockerblocklist: Cannot allocate memory pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded - The line in question reads [21]: table <pfblockerblocklist>persist file "/var/db/aliastables/pfBlockerblocklist.txt"</pfblockerblocklist>

                                                check this:

                                                • Increase even more Firewall Maximum Table Entries

                                                • clear ipblocklist table in diagnostics-> table

                                                • check if the value of table-entries in /tmp/rules.debug is the same in Firewall Maximum Table Entries

                                                • check also if table-entries is declared twice in /tmp/rules.debug

                                                BUT
                                                The most important thing is: read list description you are including and see if it is realy a bad guys or nasty list.

                                                One example of not bad list is leve1 ip-blocklist file.
                                                See its description:

                                                    In special cases, you can choose alias only option and create your own rule using alias pfBlocker created.

                                                    You can also add this list into two aliases and block inbound one and block outbound other.

                                                    Great if we use the same table inbound and outbound, we can just use one list ;o) and create a FW rule with that list aliasname ;o)

                                                      Nice going guys. :) Having trouble having lists work. I get this when the filter reloads.

                                                      There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:17: cannot define table pfBlockerantitorrentin: Cannot allocate memory/tmp/rules.debug:19: cannot define table pfBlockerantitorrentout: Cannot allocate memory pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded - The line in question reads [17]: table persist file "/var/db/aliastables/pfBlockerantitorrentin.txt" …

                                                      Going to try the fixes I see in the thread and report back. Thanks again!

                                                        After doing tests, don't forget to save pfBlocker config again.

                                                                                I have a 4 Gb microdrive somewhere, should I give it a try ?

                                                                                  I'm not sure if embedded kernel will work the same way nanobsd on Compact Flash 2 Gb will do.

                                                                                  I found some posts on forum saying that is not easy to run nanobsd img on virtualbox, but I'm still trying..

                                                                                    Second test, first problem:

                                                                                    I've changed /etc/platform to nanobsd.
                                                                                    after a reboot mount -a returns:

                                                                                    /dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local, noatime, read-only, synchronous)
                                                                                    devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
                                                                                    /dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local)
                                                                                    /dev/md1 on /var (ufs, local)
                                                                                    
                                                                                    

                                                                                    So, read-only file system.

                                                                                    installed and configured pfblocker with no issues.

                                                                                    after a reboot,
                                                                                    I got the same error:

                                                                                    
                                                                                    php: : The command '/sbin/pfctl -o basic -f /tmp/rules.debug' returned exit code '1', the output was 'no IP address found for grep: /tmp/rules.debug:15: file "/var/db/aliastables/pfBlockerTopSpammers.txt" contains bad data pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded'
                                                                                    php: : New alert found: There were error(s) loading the rules: no IP address found for grep: /tmp/rules.debug:15: file "/var/db/aliastables/pfBlockerTopSpammers.txt" contains bad data pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded The line in question reads [ /tmp/rules.debug]:
                                                                                    php: : There were error(s) loading the rules: no IP address found for grep: /tmp/rules.debug:15: file "/var/db/aliastables/pfBlockerTopSpammers.txt" contains bad data pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded - The line in question reads [ /tmp/rules.debug]:
                                                                                    

                                                                                    But, without saving any new config, I've looked at diagnostics-> table and pfBlockerTopSpammers was filled up normally, alias was there and firewall rules too.

                                                                                    So, Isn't it just a 'until boot finishes issue'?

                                                                                    Can you check if it happens the same way on your installation?

                                                                                    I know system alerts are annoying and have to be fixed but if package is still working, isn't it a minor issue?

                                                                                    Second problem:
                                                                                    boot takes 3 to 4 minutes.
                                                                                    it's a problem in fetch call that has no time out(or 01:15 timeout), I'll include a timeout patch to pfsense-tools.inc file on next release.
