Does this only work with lists, or will it work with live dnsbl queries?

doktornotor

will it work with live dnsbl queries?

Dear BBcan177 i just want to express my huge gratitude to you incorporating DNSBL. Im using it for couple of days so far. It is insane how god is behave on my network. It is really insane how good it is. It simply work and it blocks so much garbage that is almost impossible to believe.

THANK YOU!

cant get it to work,
the service is not starting." pfBlockerNG DNSBL Web Server "

rebooted the box, remove the package , reinstall it, no vail

please advise

@Hugovsky:

You need a rule interface WIFI_GUEST interface source WIFI_GUEST net destination 127.0.0.1ports 8081 8443 so dnsbl can work.

Thanks! It's working now. Created an alias for port 8081 + 8443 and added it to a rule to allow to 127.0.0.1
It was the "Block access to firewall" rule that prevented it to work, right?

This is the setup now, which is working. :)

I think you guys are missing this (on the DNSBL tab) with multiple LANs:

Panja

Nope, did not miss that.
As I stated here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=102470.msg574241#msg574241
I have checked the floating rule and both interfaces (LAN + WIFI_GUEST) are checked.

So I checked both interfaces (LAN + WIFI_GUEST) on the DNSBL tab.
And after that I went to the floating rule and both interfaces were marked in that rule.

Have hard time seeing how's that screenshot showing anything floating.

Yes, so that works, apparently. That "Block access to firewall" ain't doing any good there, clearly.

Jamerson

Guys, any suggestions why the webserver is not starting ?
pfBlockerNG DNSBL Web Server is not starting,
I've reinstalled the package but still no vail !

How would you do it any differently than?
I want my WIFI_GUEST interface to have no access to the firewall.
Guests are not to be allowed to do anything except browse the internet.

[UPDATE]

Is this any better than. 8)
I have blocked the admin ports (http/https + ssh) to the firewall instead of all.

Understandable. I thing the same way.
I did the same thing as you, and added 'sensitive ports' …..

Thanks fellow Dutchman. ;D
I have created an alias with the admin ports now as well.

pfBlockerNG DNSBL Web Server is not starting,

Yes. Because a variable is undefined on install (see the first line in the code below), so it creates a broken /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsbl.sh with missing path to the lighttpd config file.

Copy and paste this to Diagnostics - Command Prompt - PHP Execute, click the 'Execute' button and problem fixed.


$pfb['dnsbl_conf'] = '/var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl_lighty.conf';
$rc = array();
$rc['file'] = 'dnsbl.sh';
$rc['start'] = << <eof<br># Start DNSBL Lighttpd webserver
	if [ -f '{$pfb['dnsbl_conf']}' ]; then
		/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd_pfb -f '{$pfb['dnsbl_conf']}'
	fi

	# Terminate DNSBL HTTPS Daemon if found
	pidnum="$(/bin/ps -wax | /usr/bin/grep '[p]fblockerng.inc dnsbl' | /usr/bin/awk '{print $1}')"
	if [ ! -z "\${pidnum}" ]; then
		/bin/kill -9 "\${pidnum}"
		/bin/sleep 2
	fi

	# Start DNSBL HTTPS Daemon
	/usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc dnsbl &

EOF;

write_rcfile($rc);

Is there a way, or will there be a way (in a future release) to add our own EasyList?
As a Dutchman, I would like to add the Dutch EasyList, to block elements specially found on Dutch websites.

Thanks

thank you mate,
runned the php code but nothing happens .

I get this error

Diagnostics: Execute command help

Note: this function is unsupported. Use it on your own risk!

rebooted the firewall but the services still not starting

doktornotor

And what exactly did you expect to happen? Check that the service is running. If not, post the output of


/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsbl.sh start

here. And post the entire file here as attachment.

thank you for your answer,
I was expecting the service would start after I run the command.
isn't that the aim ?
when I run the command the firewall doesn't respond at all !
i'v tired different command to check if it will responde and it does.

the command

[2.2.5-RELEASE][root@firewall]/root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsbl.sh start

[2.2.5-RELEASE][root@Pfsense]/root:
[2.2.5-RELEASE][root@Pfsense]/root:

is not responding at all.

doktornotor

Uhm??? And what output exactly are you expecting? This is NORMAL! If there are no errors, there won't be any output. How exactly are you determining that your service is NOT running?
