Rules keep moving
-
Hello
I have created some rules, which I moved ahead of the pfBlock rules. Never the less, in the morning the rules are once again below the pfBlock rules. I click the Apply Changes button every time, but in the AM their back below. What do I need to do tofix this?
Thanks

In the pfBlockerNG, General tab, you need to select the "Rule Order" Setting that meets your network needs…

So, if the pfBlocker rule is blocking a country, and I put in a rule to let an IP through, but it is lower on the list after the pfBlocker, will the IP be blocked?

Its best to create a new pfBNG Alias, ie - Whitelist, and set it to "Permit Outbound". Then enter the IPs you want to allow outbound in the "Custom Box entry"… Then make sure that the Rule Order is configured with Permit rules above the Block rules ...See the link below...

Thanks for the info.

One point though, the IPs are trying to send mail to me, not receive from me. Is the rule setup the same. And where do I find documentation for all this. I just got this dumped on me.

You can use the new feature in v1.09 to Fine-Tune the "Inbound Settings"
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86212.msg524957#msg524957or you can manually create a Rule with the IPs that you want to allow Inbound to the Mail Server Ports that are open on the WAN only. But with the new feature, you can create a single Alias of allowed IPs, and then configure the pfBNG Country Alias to use these custom Inbound settings when creating the Inbound Firewall rules…

After I manually create the Alias, how do I get it to show up in the Rules list, and so I can edit the settings for the alias.
