PfBlockerNG

doktornotor

It was working until I changed the setting he advised.

Which setting?

manualMail
IPs added manually to be blocked from sending mail.
txt
on
blank
blank
deny inbound
never
Monday
enable
tick'd with my smtp_ports alias in the box
unticked
unticked
any (was tcp/udb)

Post screenshots. Not such mess. You changed exactly what?

@thehasty:

Apparently it is no longer blocking inbound spam from my custom list?

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?

doktornotor

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?

doktornotor

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.

Marvho

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".

I 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 :-[ ).

doktornotor

Yeah, the suppress icon is there for a reason.

Marvho

Thanks.

Is there a way to see a list with the suppressed hosts?

doktornotor

It's in Firewall - Aliases.

Marvho

Do I have to add this alias manually to the specific interfaces?

Sorry for asking so many questions..

doktornotor

No.

Marvho

Well then something is working wrong.

If I try to access "twitch.tv" the alert tab shows me this "IBlock_Ads 192.16.64.0/21" and the connection gets refused. (Tested in Firefox) (PfSense 2.2.3 amd64 full install)

Pressing the "+" button ends in this "Host IP address 192.16.71.176 already exists in the pfBlockerNG Suppress Table."

In the Interface rules, there is no auto created rule using the alias "pfBlockerNGSuppress".

I hope I provided enough information to figure this out.

Thanks for your help!
