Title: Updating GeoIP aliases takes too long
Post by: loredo on November 10, 2018, 11:29:48 am
Hello,

is there a way to increase performance of the table update for GeoIP based aliases?
When it seems the update script is running for ages, sometimes it will never end and other tables will not be updated. Also, it does not seem to recognize if such update is actually required or not. Unfinished tables will even have a huge impact when the tables are (already) being used in pf rules, it might easily happen that pf rules are not loaded correctly and network traffic will be totally blocked (had this a couple of times).

I was using pfBlockerNG-dev before and I saw way better performance and handling using the GeoIP features of it. Not sure about the architecture here but is there a plan to improve on it? Currently it seems this functionality is not production ready.

Thanks,
Julian
