Removing pfblocker

Seb

P.S. The script removed nothing as far as I could tell: the pfBlocker rules were still present and the menu entry was still present.

It won't remove the rules but it should remove the menu entry. Is this a full install version of pfSense. Might need to put the system into RW mode to save the changes if it's a nano/flash type version.

greping the config file still shows 'pfblockersync'. Should that be there?

Thanks for pointing that out. I can't edit my original post, but please edit the script to include "pfblockersync" as follows:

Original

$removal = array("pfblocker", "pfblockerlists", "pfblockerafrica", "pfblockerantartica", "pfblockerasia", "pfblockereurope", "pfblockernorthamerica", "pfblockeroceania", "pfblockersouthamerica", "pfblockertopspammers");

New

$removal = array("pfblocker", "pfblockerlists", "pfblockerafrica", "pfblockerantartica", "pfblockerasia", "pfblockereurope", "pfblockernorthamerica", "pfblockeroceania", "pfblockersouthamerica", "pfblockertopspammers", "pfblockersync");

script saved me. upgraded from 2.2.4 to 2.3.1 and pfblocker broke. Tried remove and reinstall no go. was able to get to router but not out to internet. ran script, rebooted, and all my problems are gone. Thanks!

Just tried running this - after copying the script to my pfsense VM.

I ran the script from Chrome and it just outputs 'Removing pfBlocker from the pfSense Configuration file'

Where exactly am I executing the script from?

Thanks

The script is outdated.

To install or re-install pfBlockerNG 2.1.1_2
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=102470.msg647719#msg647719

Then you can install or re-install the pfBlockerNG 2.1.1_2.
The install should update the MaxMind (this take 5+ minutes) and proceed to completion.

Then you can remove the package

Many thanks for the new fix.

I have attempted a new install after modifying config.inc. However the pfBlockerng entry under my firewall menu is not visible.

// Set memory limit to 512M on amd64.
if ($ARCH == "amd64") {
	ini_set("memory_limit", "512M");
} else {
	ini_set("memory_limit", "256M");
}

You are using the AMD64 version, try to increase to 768M:


if ($ARCH == "amd64") {
	ini_set("memory_limit", "768M");
} else {
	ini_set("memory_limit", "256M");
}

Or wait until BBCan releases the fix

RonpfS

To increase memory_limit over 512M you also need to fix /usr/local/etc/php.ini, /etc/rc.php_ini_setup
