      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 17 12:30:53 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: pfBlockerNorthAmerica does not need updated.
      Feb 17 12:30:53 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: Starting URL table alias updates
      Feb 17 12:30:01 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: Sleeping for 51 seconds.
      Feb 17 12:30:01 php: : /etc/rc.update_urltables: Starting up.
      Feb 16 23:00:23 php: : [pfblocker] pfblocker_xmlrpc_sync.php is starting.
      Feb 16 23:00:23 check_reload_status: Reloading filter
      Feb 16 23:00:23 check_reload_status: Syncing firewall
      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.

            pfSense put the rules only into LAN when you choose "deny both" by "List action" in pfBlocker i think.

                  Hi there,

                  I think I've an issue with pfBlocker, when used with a IPv6 tunnel and a DHCP IPv4 WAN address:

                  http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,60146.0.html

                  Could anyone please offer any thoughts on this?

                  Many thanks,

                  Simon

                    i ran a few tests with dropbox and some random ip addresses.  pfblocker doesnt seem to be updating after it initially pulls the ip's from the list.  any ideas?  thanks.

                      IIRC, there is a pfblocker php script for list update running on cron if you define a update schedule.

                        Are the "Top spammers" list also automatically updatet  ???
                        I ask because i can't define an update interval.

                        And what's the "source" of the list for the "Top spammers"?

                          Since blocklists got paid, there is no update anymore.

                              you're right, but looking at the logs, it seems like the rc.update_urltables script is the one invoking the update.  it just never updates, for whatever reason.

                                Could you implement another source? I mean the top spammers list is useless if no updates are available.

                                This one:
                                http://ipinfodb.com/ip_country_block.php#blocklist

                                There also directlinks available. China for example:
                                http://ipinfodb.com/country_query.php?country=CN&output=simple&filename=blocklist.txt

                                  This is a great package.  Very useful.  My apologies in advance if this has already been answered, but I was just wondering exactly what the packets column in the dashboard widget was.  It seems to count up for a while then rest to zero.  Is it packets dropped per hour or per day?

                                    The package count zero's on filter reload if my memory serves me right. Could be some other regularly happening event also.

                                      Same here. Package count goes back to zero in dashboard widget. Don't know when or why.

                                        When ever you filter reload or package updates anything that soft refreshes will reset it back to 0 as the interface resets.. same thing will happen changing network settings… I have never seen the widget reset on its own without either changing system setting/network setting/updates ect.

                                          Thanks for the reply.  Filter reload explains it.  Every once and a while I change some rules.  I guess I just didn't notice the connection.
