    Re: HOWTO: Graphical IP Blocker

    Hi, cool program.

    However, for some reason, the auto-start with reboot doesn't work at all for me. I think this is a new feature from .16 to .17?

    I'm running Gutsy and Shorewall.

    Shorewall runs @reboot via cron

    When I reboot, ipblock -l shows that it's active, but not running via the command line (i.e. it doesn't say "ipblock isn't running" but it doesn't block anything).

    To get it up and running, I have to:

    ipblock -d
    ipblock -s

    Anyone else running into this problem, or have a solution?

    Hi all,

    I'm running into a problem with Java; not very sure what to do... Take a look:

    Code:
    #
    # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
    #
    #  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00002b18c2c27e11, pid=7808, tid=1074792784
    #
    # Java VM: IcedTea 64-Bit Server VM (1.7.0-b21 mixed mode linux-amd64)
    # Problematic frame:
    # V  [libjvm.so+0x5c9e11]
    #
    # An error report file with more information is saved as:
    # /home/bob/hs_err_pid7808.log
    #
    # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
    #   http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
    #
    Aborted (core dumped)
    Any ideas? I would love to get this program working... Thanks!!

    I'm running Gutsy and Shorewall.

    Shorewall runs @reboot via cron
    The cron service starts after IPblock, so shorewall is probably removing previously inserted iptables rules.
    I haven't considered cron, only other firewall applications to make sure that IPblock runs as the last application that changes iptables rules.

    Does it work if you change the start order ?
    Code:
    sudo update-rc.d -f ipblock remove
    sudo update-rc.d ipblock start 99 2 3 4 5 . stop 00 0 1 6 .

    Re: HOWTO: Graphical IP Blocker

    Thanks for this!

    I used to use moblock, but have had nothing but problems with it for the last several releases. Don't get me wrong I am not bashing moblock, I am sure the issues were mistakes on my end, as moblock is not quite as easy to configure as this is.

    This was very simple to install, and set up. I also love how everything is in one simple to use GUI, including the logs.

    I had one question about how it updates. You had mentioned in this thread it will update via a cron job. I just installed this on my wife's laptop which is not always on. I am not too familiar with how cron works in cases where the PC is off. Will the cron update happen when she turns on her laptop after missing a previous update because the PC was off when cron was originally scheduled to run? I want to make sure she stays up to date, and am fearful that if her pc is not on during the time cron runs she will not end up getting updated.

    If you use anacron the lists will get updated in the specified interval or as closely as possible. Anacron is for systems that don't run 24h a day and is installed by default on Ubuntu desktops.

    Re: HOWTO: Graphical IP Blocker

    I installed IPBlock yesterday. It's blocking my pop 3 email accounts (gmail via Thunderbird), it's blocking the @Weather Report Applet so that it can't update and it's blocking my dictionary applet. It's also blocking some radio stations. Without a whitelist; IPblock is a pain. There doesn't seem to be a way to filter these apps so that they're not caught by IPblock.
    Is there someway I can allow these and still use IPblock?

    Failing that, how do I remove it. I can't see it in Synaptic and Terminal can't find it.

    Got it.

    sudo aptitude purge iplist

    This did the trick!

    Re: HOWTO: Graphical IP Blocker

    Code:
    * release (0.18)
    * made init scripts more distribution specific 
    * added ALLOW_LIST option
    * changed URL list format
    * integrated country lists
    Finally there is an IP-whitelisting feature. The updated first page describes how to use it.
