Description

Some minutes after configuring a firewall rule, the pfBlockerNG cron job ran and incorrectly modified one of the floating rules which resulted in the filter failing to reload.

Firewall alert:

Unresolvable source alias 'pfB_Bogons_v6_v4' for rule 'Bogons (outside) IPv6' @ 2023-03-09 13:00:24

Affected rule:
block in quick on {  vmx0.99  gif0  } inet from $pfB_Bogons_v6 to any  !  tagged "passlist" ridentifier 1677447028 label "USER_RULE: Bogons (outside) IPv6" label "id:1677447028"

Config history difference and pfBlockerNG update log- see attached.

Setup:
  • Using pfBlockerNG 3.2.0_3 on pfSense+ 23.01.
  • The general IP settings page has the following options checked: De-Duplication, CIDR Aggregation, Floating Rules.
  • There are 5 IP lists configured as Alias Deny which result in the following aliases created by pfBlockerNG: pfB_Bogons_v4, pfB_Bogons_v6, pfB_PRI1_v4, pfB_Top_v4, pfB_Top_v6.
