Title: Firewall->Diagnostics->pfTables is empty
Post by: gonzo on February 13, 2018, 08:46:11 pm
Hi

I created the alias type: URL Table (IPs), host (s): http://ip.jchost03.pl/ip_zablokowane_ataki.txt , and I added the rule to Firewall, but when I check pf Tables, is empty.

What is the reason that the table is empty ?

Can you screenshot the settings for the alias?

You have the same alias url twice. Maybe deleting the one you don't use helps?

If you run this command from the shell, will it populate the pf table?

# configctl filter refresh_aliases

Change the name of the list to something other than the same name of the URL you're using.  Just name it test1 or test2 or something just as a test.

Firehol is populated? Any other lists are working?
Btw, i think Firehol L1 contains spamhaus. You could verify and delete it if confirmed.

If you configure Firewall Maximum Table Entries @ Firewall: Settings: Advanced to say.. 500000, will your other list  work? After increasing the table entry, pls run "configctl filter refresh_aliases" again.

I set the value of this variable to 999999 at the very beginning of the configuration.

Delete the alias and recreate.. make sure there are no white spaces. Will this work?
Title: Re: Firewall->Diagnostics->pfTables is empty
Post by: gonzo on February 13, 2018, 11:18:52 pm

I delete Firewall: Rules: OPT1
I delete Firewall: Aliases
recreate alias and rules, and .... still empty

Running out of ideas for this evening :) ...

Maybe just this one:

-If you WinSCP to this path: /root/var/db/aliastables
-Delete everything related to that alias
-Delete the alias from the GUI

.. and recreate... will this populate the table?

Strange results for me. I tried the URL in OP's first post and it didn't work.

Doesn't work: http://ip.jchost03.pl/ip_zablokowane_ataki.txt
Doesn't work: ip.jchost03.pl/ip_zablokowane_ataki.txt
WORKS: http://www.ip.jchost03.pl/ip_zablokowane_ataki.txt (screenshot1)

Notice the "www" that allowed the pfTables to populate (screenshot2). OP, try what I did, hopefully it works for you too.

It could be forcing a redirect that is not followed properly by the fetch library?

I removed the ralias and the firewall rule, I made a new alias and rule, but it is still empty.

I also see the names of removed alaises (IP_ataki, ip_ataki, ip_blocked_ataki) how to remove them ?

Franco, good point I didn't think of but Fiddler doesn't show redirect.

gonzo, you might have to remove manually if a reboot doesn't work; /var/db/aliastables. Might as well reboot with all the work that you did anyway.

FireWall already works in a production environment. Deleting this file will affect the operation of FW ?
Title: Re: Firewall->Diagnostics->pfTables is empty
Post by: nqnguyen2 on February 15, 2018, 02:32:05 am
No, it shouldn't affect production. It merely removes the alias from showing in the pfTables selection. If everything is working fine. I'd say leave it alone.

I removed the contents of the catalog ( text files ) : /var/db/aliastables .
I have removed all aliases and all rules except one "Allow all" . This is the default rule that is installed with the system.

Before I start creating new aliases and new rules, I want to delete entries that I see : Firewall: Diagnostics: pfTables.

1) Why do I still see these entries? If all aliases and rules are removed ?
2) How can I delete these entries ?

My question is too difficult or too simple ? . No one knows the answer ?
Title: Re: Firewall->Diagnostics->pfTables is empty

Firewall: Aliases: View -> you should not have any aliases here.
You should not have any files here: /var/db/aliastables

And maybe you should apply this patch from here (read the entire conversation):
https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/2162

And then reboot, then recreate the aliases.
