pfBlocker XMLRPC sync CARP interface advskew
0%
Description
Just wanted to let you know the problem was with the pfBlocker XMLRPC SYNC: it is also synching the SKEW value of the pfBlocker interface to the 2nd node which it should not (should remain more than the primary or 100 as default). Every complete reload/sync the CARP VIP is updated with a value of 0 hence it crashes shortly after. I posted this also in the pfBlockerNG group for clarity.
advskew must be increased before sync to the secondary node:

I tried several times disabling and re-enabling the CARP option in pfBlocker and every time it's enabled, the main IP (not the CARP VIP!) get's "lost" - this is the ifconfig of em1:
em1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
...
inet 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 0.255.255.255 vhid 1
...
As you can see, the inet 0.0.0.1 should be 192.168.0.252 /24 and has NO VHID (it's not a CARP interface!) but somehow "inherits" the pfBlocker one and the pfBlocker CARP iface has the proper but same VHID (which it should). All the other CARP interfaces are fine including the .254 on the same em0.
easy to reproduce by omitting `advskew` value,
i.e. "/sbin/ifconfig 'vtnet0' inet vhid 1 advskew advbase 1 pass '123'" ('ifconfig' issue?):
vtnet0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

Tested on 21.05.2 and on 22.01-DEVELOPMENT (built on Sat Dec 04 06:21:33 UTC 2021)
With 'Enable Sync: Sync to host(s) defined below' DNSBL's CARP VIP (10.10.10.1/32) were synced to the Secondary node with correct 'advskew: 100'.
I'll mark this Bug as resolved.
