PfBlockerNG
-
Thanks for that BB. I'd been trying https://www.dan.me.uk/torlist/ and was seeing Download FAIL messages. I'll tinker a bit more.
For this particular list I ended up setting a cron job on one of my RaspberryPi's to fetch the list on schedule and then fetch it from the Pi to pfBlockerNG.
Its strange that you guys are seeing errors in downloading this list from www.dan.me.uk?
If you load that URL in a browser does it fail to download also? Did you try http instead? I use this list in several other boxes and have not seen anyone else complain about that list.
-
I had this error… and now I think maybe because:
Umm… You can only fetch the data every 30 minutes - sorry. It's pointless any faster as I only update every 30 minutes anyway.
If you keep trying to download this list too often, you may get blocked from accessing it completely.
(this is due to some people trying to download this list every minute!) -
I am using custom inbound IPv4 lists (spamhaus, DShield, etc) set to Deny_Inbound with a custom port alias set up. When I look at the alerts, it shows entries for ports that I do not have specified to block.
When using "Adv. Inbound Settings", you need to set the "Custom Protocol" setting. If you use "any" it will act on all ports, suggest to use "TCP/UDP" or as required.
Apparently it is no longer blocking inbound spam from my custom list?

Please advise

Please advise
Please post your "custom list". Plus how's that list configured in pfBNBG. Noone can advise with no info.

It was working until I changed the setting he advised. I've changed it back for now.

When you add IPs to a custom list, did you select "Update Custom List" at the bottom of the Alias Settings when you saved it (and ran a Force Update)? If you don't select this option, then it will only update the alias as per the defined Frequency setting of the Alias.
Its best to look at the Aliastable to see if the IP is actually in the table. You can view the table by hovering over the Alias in the Widget or Firewall Rules. You can also view the table in Diagnostics: Tables: in the pfSense GUI.
I will also be submitting a PR for a small bug. The details of the workaround can be found in the following link:

Using pfB_TOR rules (List: Blut_Tor), it blocks IP 162.244.25.186, the host is 0.ca.pool.ntp.org, Whats the reason to block LAN to access this IP with port 123?
-
The reason is that you configured it so…

Well, whats the pfB_TOR rules for then? since its turned on by default. why we need to block these IPs if they are good, no harm?
-
There is NO list turned on by default, anywhere. The blocklist simply lists tor exit nodes. You do not need to block anything. Simply stop using the "offending" blocklist to block outbound traffic, or whitelist the IP, or whatever.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to pfblockerng and I want some sugestions from you guys.
Which list could be useful for a home use scenario with no open ports, just outbound traffic is important.
I'm also interested in blocking adverts with pfblockerng. Is there a way to use the easylist from ADBlock Plus ?
Which lists are you using actual? And where do I get them?
Thanks for any advice.
Best regards

I totally missed that. Thanks so much for pointing it out.
-
Thanks for the list.
I imported it successfully and set these to "deny outbound" but they won't show up in the Dashboard listing.
Did I miss something?
//edit: Nevermind, had to switch the state of the link to "ON".

https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg526272#msg526272I always run a Force Update after changes, however I did not have "Update Custom List" set. It is now set and I've changed the scope back to TCP/UDP. I'll report back with any issues.
Thanks again for your help!

How can I suppress a IP for example 192.16.71.176:443 ?
It's blocked by IBlock_ADS but it stops the twitch.tv Mobile App to work.
Thanks!

Click on the suppress icon in the alerts?
(I'm probably saying something stupid now :-[ ).
-
Yeah, the suppress icon is there for a reason.
-
Thanks.
Is there a way to see a list with the suppressed hosts?
