PfBlocker

it's just a print before if
not a big deal.
never mind If you do not have checked sync option.

My alias keeps getting knocked up to the top of the rule sets I have for my networks (I have a LAN and WLAN network). It's been happening erratically. I'm not sure what is causing it or what to do about it.

If you need custom rules before pfBocker, you must change pfBlocker action to alias only and then create your own block rules.
A shortcut to this is changing pfBlocker applied rules description before changing action.

Makes sense. :)

Hey guys I'm new here and to pfsense. I noticed that when I enable pfblocker my wireless clients can longer connect to the internet but my wired. Any ideas. I'm using a linksys wireless router with dd-wrt loaded on it. It has worked forever until I enable pfblocker without any rules created. I'm a complete noob to linux/unix. Thanks in advance!!!
-
PfBlocker does not remove or include any rule different from its own rules.
Try disabling it and see what happens.Also try to include some lists and see how it include aliases and rules.
-
You might add something about the rule being under pfBlocker control in the rules description.
-
Don't you think pfBlocker Inbound/outbound rule description is less robotic? :)
-
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?
-
i know …. but the warning about the alias is very robotic :D DO NOT EDIT THIS ALIAS
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 !?
In the end it is easier to just use aliases, that way you can choose the order of the rules.

When you copy a rule, you must change pfblocker description to something without pfblocker and rule

yes, it's realy usefull.

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.
