PfBlockerNG
-
And it was Tom Schaefer that did the first countryblock package ;)
Marcello turned it into pfblocker and BBcan17 evolved it into what we see today and we love it!
-
I'm using them since the beginning and in several installs. Big thanks to all that helped especially Tom Schaefer, Marcello and BBcan17.

I have the package installed and configured but it doesn't seemto be working. I have PFblocker installed but the I checked the box to disable checking, any suggestions?

Looks like you have no list enabled or no hint on rules???

Or downloaded (?). I believe the new package doesn't download lists every time you click save on the edit/add list page.

Did you applied(force update) after selecting countries for example?
-
many thanks marcelloc that did it.
-
is this available to the public yet?

Yes this is 'by Design'. The process is single threaded, to ensure that only one process at a time updates the files. Allowing the possibility of pressing "Save" at the same time as "Cron" is running or expected to run, can cause data corruption. So when you press "save" it will just save the settings.
The "Update" tab has a "Force Update" icon which will disable the Cron event and execute the download process. If Cron is active, it will not let you bypass that event, until its completed. You are able to see the complete Download process in the Update Window.
Any errors will be recorded there, so debugging is fairly straight forward.
You are also able to view the pfblockerng.log and error.log in the Log Browser Tab.

For those of you that followed the bypass to install the Package, please follow these suggestions:
- Enable "Keep Settings" in the pfBlockerNG General Tab. On a Re-install, the first step is a De-Install of the package. So without enabling this setting, you will lose all configured settings on a "Re-Install".
So please ensure that this is "Checked". You will need to hit "Save" to have it apply!!
- There is a v1.0 of pfBlockerNG Posted with a minor revision for an IBlock issue. I believe you will need to ensure that the bypass method used on the first Install, is activated before proceeding with the Update or the Re-Install will FAIL.
Please ensure you Backup as always before proceeding with any Updates.

Its not Official Yet.. I was referring to those Users who followed the Bypass methods in this thread to get it Installed.

@BBCan:
Thanks for mailing me I was (almost) missing all the fun ;)
The package really needs to be released officially!Great marcelloc pointed out the old pfblocker is now obsolete and should be replaced with pfBlockerNG.

The pull request needs to be merged by pfsense team before you can use it without any hacks.
