pfBlockerNG adding commented IPs
0%
Description
We have a list provider that requires our IP be passed as a variable in the query (e.g. http://example.com/list.php?ip=x.x.x.x). There is a reason for it, but the details of that are unimportant. What is important is that the outputted list has a comment at the top that contains the IP we passed in (e.g. # This is a list for x.x.x.x). It appears that pfBlockerNG is reading that line and adding the IP address to the block list. If I look in /var/db/pfblockerng/original/ at the orig file, it shows the IP in the commented line and nowhere else. However, if I look in /var/db/pfblockerng/deny at the txt file, it shows the IP address in the list itself.
I was able to work around this by adding the IP to a whitelist. Shouldn't comments be ignore when parsing the IPs?

@Ryan. Thanks for the Bug report. I haven't seen a Comment line with an IP in it before. The fix for this bug is in my Pull Request #818 (Version 1.04)

Hi Ryan, my PR for pfBNG v1.04 was merged. Please let me know if that fixes your issue.
There is a "pfBlockerNG" thread in the pfSense Forum "Packages" category also.

This is now working and the ticket can be closed. Thanks BBcan177 for the fix. Sorry it took so long to get back with status (we're in a busy period at work).
