PfBlockerNG v2.0 w/DNSBL

Bummer

Thanks for the replyl Hugovsky. But I'm still confused.

My mail server is inside my network and is clean. It would seem to me you'd want to block what is coming in from the outside to the ports opened on the mail server, etc.

Sorry, I can be dense at times.

Hugovsky

Best way to do that is to make an alias and use it with the nat rule that forwards to your server. Remember: the firewall is already blocking everything you don't allow.

@f34rinc:

@Jamerson:

can those be blocked using DNSBL ?

Yes it can

just post them on the block domain DNS feed ?

You can add domains to the custom list at the bottom of any Alias, or create a new alias.

@RonpfS:

I added Unbound under Service Watchdog and unbound start within 5 min of bootup.

Don't use Service Watchdog with DNSBL as that will interfere with how DNSBL updates.

RonpfS

I tried to find out why unbound dies silently on bootup

I did a fresh install, disabling all package before saving the config, bring the config back, normal pkg installation went smoothly.

I enabled all packages except pfBlockerNG and DNSBL , rebooted 2-3 times and unbound is present on reboot.

I enabled pfBlockerNG, DNSBL, on first reboot unbound was alive
After 2-3 reboot it kept dying on reboot.
Watching the services status, I could see it running until DNSBL start, then it dies.
I went thru the /var/log files, no error is logged !

Once it is started it keeps running fine.

So I only put unbound in Service Watchdog, not DNSBL, is this ok?
Now unbound restart 1 or 2 minutes after it dies.

BBcan177

No don't use Service Watchguard for either.

Do you have any of the Unbound DHCP registration checkboxes enabled? If so, disable those.

RonpfS

@BBcan177:

No don't use Service Watchguard for either.

So how do I find out what's making it dies on reboot ?

RonpfS

@BBcan177:

Do you have any of the Unbound DHCP registration checkboxes enabled? If so, disable those.

Nope only Enable DNSSEC Support is ticked.
Network interface is set to ALL
Outgoing interface is set to WAN

I do have Host Overrides for a local domain (not the local domain of pfense), including the WAN IP of the firewal (it is behind my present pfsense box)

BBcan177

Increase the Unbound log verbosity and see if it shows any further details.

@BBcan177:

Increase the Unbound log verbosity and see if it shows any further details.

Increased to level 2 first reboot unbound is running
2nd reboot, unbound is not running nothing in the resolver.log for this reboot, only things from last session.
Nothing in system.log nor dmesg.boot

Remove all hosts overrides, set level to 5

Here is the error:

Looks like it tried to start Unbound but it was already started as the port was opened already… Don't really have any other help to offer at this moment... Keep an eye on the logs and see if something else comes up...

RonpfS

It always start the Resolver twice even on a fresh install with no package installed.

I tried to open the /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl.conf 58.9MB in the pfblocker logs tab and it only say Loading file…. nothing appears.

Trying to open it with File Manager gives me :

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 123487193 bytes) in /usr/local/www/packages/filemgr/file_manager.php on line 411

I can download it and nothing seems abnormal.

I got this crash report :

It is a 2GB P4 Prescott …

In the pfBlocker/Log browser there is no dnsbl.log or error.log
In /var/log/pfblockerng/ there is a file dnsbl_error.log , doesn't tell much.

Is-it possible to revert to version 2.0.1 ? Didn't had that issue on a much slower laptop with 2.0.1.

I have found some false positives in the iblocklist lists, for example if you preform a dns lookup to "fractal-design.com" (case builder) it would return 62.116.130.8 that if you search https://www.iblocklist.com/search?string=62.116.130.8 if gives a lot of lists (Malicious, Tracking, etc) can it be outdated?

FPs need to be reported to whomever maintains the blocklist. Or just stop using iBlock lists altogether.

I found idiocy like eicar.org on multiple "malware" blocklists. Sigh. Also, people will happily add entire CDN servers (Amazon, etc.) there. Some people just should get out of the blocklist business, stupidity everywhere.

Soloam

I've been getting a lot of false positives in iblock lists, they seemed like a good blacklist provider. What lists are people using in IP and Hosts?

Thank You all

Maybe it has something to do with IPv6? as the error has a udp6 socket shown.

I changed the LAN IPv6 Configuration Type from Track Interface to none
that solved the unbound crashing ;D

As the WAN DHCP didn't provide DHCP6 IP, the LAN IPv6 ip was:

IPv6 Link Local fe80::1:1

this is probably better not to assign LAN IPV6 ip.

now I get :
IPv6 Link Local fe80::1e7e:e5ff:fe1f:fad5

Thanks for opening my noob eyes ;)

pfBlockerNG (Bootstrap conversion) has been submitted to the devs.

https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/24

If you guys get a chance, I would recommend testing out the latest pfSense v2.3 snapshot as its expected to go Beta soon along with the packages….

2.3 Testing feedback here:

on the DNSBL FEEDS , below on the page have Custom Block List,
I've added some domains there but I can still access them even they are on the block list .
how is this possible ?

When you add to an existing custom list, you need to select the "Update custom list" setting at the bottom of the page. Otherwise the list is only updated as per the Alias frequency setting.
