PfBlockerNG v2.0 w/DNSBL
-
Im not sure what im supposed to be picking up from that? No DNS forwarder? I've never used DNS Forwarder so I really dont know what is implied by that? It also says that you can use the DNS forwarding mode of DNS Resolver, but implies that if I use forwarding mode then i'll use my ISP's DNS, whereas if i leave it in resolver mode i'll use the root DNS (don't know what that is?).
Im using DNS resolver, not forwarder, and not using forwarding mode, but my queries are still going through my ISP DNS.
Check the hosts DNS configuration to see what DNS server they use.
-
All clients will use the pfsense DNS resolver, that you can configure in forwarding mode to use your ISP DNS server, but by default, why not use the pfsense DNS Resolver in Root mode without having to rely on an external DNS server.
OK, awesome, thank-you. This is what I must be doing wrong. As far as I thought, I am using the DNS resolver (not using forwarded, forwarding mode not turned on, and I've removed all entries in general setup & dhcp for alternative DNS servers).
But whenever I run dnsleaktest.com, I still get my ISP's DNS server?What am I doing wrong? How can I run DNS off of pfsenses internal DNS?
I didn't even know pfsense did this natively, I thought if I wanted to use an internal DNS server then I had to set up and run the whole thing on a real or virtual machine, which I dont know how to do.
-
yup pfsense has a DNS Resolver ;)
So now you have to check your hosts/device DNS configuration.
If they get DNS server configuration from a DHCP server, then configure the DHCP server to send pfsense ip.
@ :
Leave blank to use the system default DNS servers: this interface's IP if DNS Forwarder or Resolver is enabled, otherwise the servers configured on the System / General Setup page.
-
awesome, i got it working as its meant to be, thank you for sticking with my ignorant line of questioning!
One last question, how does the "root server" resolve the DNS lookups? as in what tells my pfsense box the ip address that google.com resolves to?

Hello, thanks for all your work on this. I just wanted to report that I'm seeing the following in system -> pkg manager -> installed, even after reinstalling the package.

Please review the linked image. There are two points :
1. "Package is configured but not (fully) installed" (even after reinstallation)
2. "Newer version available" (without the update option)Regards,

MattThat is the Legend for the Package Manager ::)
So now look a the pfBlockerNG line and interpreting the legend the status of the package is "Current"

Ah, my bad! The lack of a separator there as opposed to the ones above it is a bit confusing ( http://imgur.com/a/lwSFx ).

Maybe just add "Legend : "
Yeah I tried and that looked even worse than now. Leaving this to someone else.

Hello,
Regarding Adaway,
https://adaway.org/hosts.txt
Although the list is downloaded:
[ Adaway ] Downloading update .. 200 OK. completed ..
I got this error:
[ pfB_Adaway Adaway ] List Error ]
Please advise
-
I assume that Adaway is also the name of the Alias?
Do you have anything in the custom list at the bottom of this alias? I think that's the part that's not parsing properly. Anything in a custom list must be formatted properly.

The name of the alias is Adaway, and I don't have anything in the custom list.
I've changed the name of the alias, and the label like this:
Adaway_list ] Downloading update .. 200 OK. completed ..
[ pfB_Adaway1 Adaway_list ] List Error ] -
It looks like you added this list to the IPv4 tab when it's a domain based list and should only be used in the DNSBL tab.

I removed it from IPV4, sorry to bother you with this.
Thank you

Here are more DNSBL Feeds that can be used in pfBlockerNG.
(Copy and paste URLS as plain text)- Create a new alias for these.
These are not necessarily ADvert domains. So I named mine "Malicious"
malc0de
https://malc0de.com/bl/BOOTI get this error for malc0de. all other lists are fine
[ DNSBL_Malicious - malc0de ] Download FAIL [ 02/21/17 01:21:47 ]
Firewall and/or IDS are not blocking download.Set up exactly the way you have described.
I'm on 2.3.3 RC
- Create a new alias for these.
