PfBlockerNG
-
Hi
I'm new around here(with pfSense and pfBlockerNG), so please be gentle ;)
First of all. What a great package. You did a awesome job.Back to my question. I was wondering if there are any plans to support this AmazonAWS json IP list https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json ?
Some extra info: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-ip-ranges.html
Thank you. -
You mean, like… the invisible Sync tab?
Hi,
My lab are at home one WAN one LAN, production at work, two WANs one LAN.
May I sync anyway?Thanks.
-
May I copy the from xml backup file from one box to another?
Thanks.

You can scrape the IPs from that URL or any other URL using the "html" format. However, it won't be able to distinguish the different Amazon subsets. So it will pool them all together which you could use to "Permit, Match or Block/Reject"

May I sync anyway?You can sync any pfSense Boxes whether remote or local.
And yes you can copy / paste with the config.xml but please ensure you backup as you can crash it with an improperly formatted file.
If you do modify a config.xml from the shell, you can delete the cache file to get those changes to take effect
rm /tmp/config.cache

I have a comprehension question. Is pfBlockerNG supposed to block any traffic? I added a single IP to my IPv4 list and I can still access the web site with this particular IP. Maybe I should say that Squid is also running.

Well its kind of what the name of the package implies :)
So to answer your question, yes the package can create firewall rules to "Block/Reject/Permit/Match"…Need more info on how you have configured it to help you further.

I'm using Alienvault List and blocking outside traffic to Russia, China and North Korea.
Access to www.tcpiputils.com (148.251.153.34 - Germany (DE) - not listed on AlienVault) are blocked, but not on alerts or firewall logs.
If I reset states, it opens for a few seconds and blocks again, disabling pfBlockerNG resolve that issue.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Alienvault doesn't have that IP listed.. But run this command below to see if any other list has that included…
grep -h "^148.251." /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/ | grep '/'*
Alienvault.txt:148.251.195.0/24
Alienvault.txt:148.251.88.0/24edit: added the -h flag to skip the filename/path

Hi, thanks for your quick answer,
The command gets the same of yours:
grep -h "^148.251." /var/db/pfblockerng/deny/* | grep '/'
148.251.195.0/24
148.251.88.0/24 -

148.251.195.0/24
148.251.88.0/24Run the following commands to report all IPs listed in the 148.0.0.0 range…
cd /var/db/pfblockerng/deny grep "^148\." * | grep '/' -
Hi
grep "^148." * | grep '/'
Alienvault.txt:148.251.195.0/24
Alienvault.txt:148.251.88.0/24(But I have disable/enable pfBlockerNG with keep settings cleared, and now are not blocking tcpiputils anymore)
Thanks.

pfBNG will only block what you configure it to block…
What does this command report:
host -t A tcpiputils.comMaybe tcpiputils.com resolves to a different address for you?
All blocked IPs should be reported in the Alerts Tab.
You can also try:
Instead of completely disabling pfBNG, goto the LAN interface and toggle the Icon at the left for each pfBNG Rule one at a time to see which Rule is causing the block for you. Then go from there. -
Hi,
$ host -t A tcpiputils.com
tcpiputils.com has address 148.251.153.34Will try your suggestion:
Instead of completely disabling pfBNG, goto the LAN interface and toggle the Icon at the left for each pfBNG Rule one at a time to see which Rule is causing the block for you. Then go from there.
Thanks.

As a note, Germany is listed in the TOP20 List… Did you by any chance select all of the TOP20 to block? If so... This is why its blocked...
You can also create a pfBNG alias "Permit Outbound" and add the IPs that you want to bypass the Blocking rules to the "Custom list" at the bottom... Then set the Rules order to have this permit Rule above the Block/Reject rules...
-
Hi,
No using TOP20.
Don't know what may be happened, now are not blocking.
Thanks.

Welcome to the club. This is not a package issue, also nothing to do with lack of physical RAM. It's core OS (probably kernel-level) stuff…

ok, thanks.

Damn IBlock again :)
Create a second IBlock Alias for this large IBlock list.
There seems to be an issue with having that many IPs in one Alias table.
