        increase it way up. Thats most likely the problem. Its not going to affect the firewall negatively. You see where mine is set and all runs just fine and I dont get those errors anymore.

                  I have pfBlocker loading a list from the following url:
                  http://www.dnsbl.manitu.net/download/nixspam-ip.dump.gz

                  I decompressed the .gz to look at it and found text in the following format:

                  2013-01-21T20:15+0100 78.39.223.180
                  2013-01-21T20:15+0100 49.202.135.218
                  2013-01-21T20:15+0100 213.108.75.31
                  ...
                  

                  I have 2 systems that handle this list fine.
                  One other system scrambles the file content - loads nonsense IPs the table - is why I peeked inside the .gz

                  The thing is, I thought pfBlocker had to have the IP addr/cidrs at the beginning of the line.  Looks like I'm wrong.

                  In what format(s) does pfBlocker need it's IP data?

                    It loks for ip addresses using preg_match, if you can edit it to remove ip date, it may help.

                      The list loads fine on two systems; now I know why.

                      The system that scrambles the data has 27 lists loaded.
                      It's probably just reacting to all the abuse I heap upon it.

                      As always, thank you for your insight.

                        The real main issue is even on last update 2.1-BETA1 (today), pfblocker still doesn't comes up as ENABLED.

                        Everytime after update I need to go there and manually enable myself.  ::)

                          Pfblocker uninstall script will always disable the service to avoid aliases/rules issues.

                          It's a feature, not an issue  ;)

                            Hi, I added support to insert portlist file. this way peoples can customize installations with pre defined rules from their web sites.

                            you can deploy port list file with adding #PORT_LIST_PF text to begin of file.

                            i hope you will include this changes to next release and it will helpful to others.

                            example port list file: safeports.txt

                            
                            #PORT_LIST_PF
                            21#ftp
                            22#ssh
                            25#smtp
                            53#dns
                            67#dhcp
                            80#http
                            110#pop
                            443#https
                            587#new smtp
                            1433#sql server
                            3306#mysql
                            3389#rdp
                            
                            

                            replace bellow code in your /usr/local/pkg/pfblocker.inc

                            add this function to after pfblocker_Range2CIDR function

                            		return "";
                            	#function called with same ip in min and max
                            	if ($port_min == $port_max)
                            		return $port_min;
                            	$bas=intval($port_min);
                            	$start_port+=1;//skip first value because its already processed
                            	$res="";
                            	$end_port=intval($port_max);
                            	for($i=$start_port;$i<=$end_port;$i++) {
                            		$res.="$i\n";
                            	}
                            	if($res!="") 
                            		return $res;

                              So that way Pfblocker only works on specified ports and not on all??

                                No, not like that,

                                this way you can add port alias to firewall or just block ports

                                  On current version, you can use alias only option and create your own rules using, port aliases, connection limit, limiter, etc, etc ,etc.

                                    thanks for the great package.  have been playing around with it for a couple months now, but just realized something a little odd.  i have a few iblocklist and linuxtracker lists, but i've never seen them update (at least the system log doesn't say so).  anyone else have the same issue?  i know the iblocklist lists are updated weekly at least and linuxtracker used to update his twice a week.  any help would be much appreciated.

                                      What update frequency did you applied to this list?

                                      Can you install cron package and check if pfblocker schedules are there?

                                        the lists (alias only, with corresponding firewall rules) are set to update every day.  there seem to be two jobs in cron that relate to this:

                                        0  *  *  *  *  root  /usr/local/bin/php -q /usr/local/www/pfblocker.php cron
                                        30  12  *  *  0,2,4  root  /usr/bin/nice -n20 /etc/rc.update_urltables

                                        and here are snippets of the logs that relate to those jobs:

                                        Feb 17 12:30:53 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: pfBlockerlevel1 does not need updated.

                                        Feb 16 23:00:23 php: : [pfblocker] pfblocker_xmlrpc_sync.php is starting.

                                        Feb 16 23:00:01 php: : Starting pfBlocker sync process.

                                        the update_urltables job has never said that a list was updated.  and the pfblocker sync has only repeated those four lines every day.

                                        thanks.

                                          Hi

                                          I have added the package "Ads" and want to block it, but on this site: http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/forum.php for example i can see the ads.

                                          Is there a mistake by me, or anythign else?

                                            why does pfBlocker set it's rules in LAN instead of WAN? or is it just me? I'm asking because the Ip's that i want to block still connect to my pfSense machine and i want to stop that.
