Hey Adamm,

Is there a limit to how many addresses can be blocked? I reached 65535 IPs being banned a few days ago and the number has not increased since which doesn't seem right?

Cheers!

This is more the likely due to the "maxelem" defaulting at 65535 when not specified. I'll get you the exact syntax when I finish work but you should be able to work it out from here



EDIT;

When creating your IPSets its best to leave this stuff unspecified as IPSet is supposed to dynamically adjust the values, but in this case seeing it isn't you would need to specify the following.

ipset -N -q Whitelist nethash --maxelem 65535
ipset -N -q Blacklist iphash --maxelem 65535
ipset -N -q BlockedCountries nethash --maxelem 65535

How and where would I place this info?

Update: I have two ipset files....ipset.txt and ipset2.txt where ipset.txt is the most recent and includes the whitelist, all the blacklisted ips and countries and ipset2.txt includes the whitelist and blocked ips but not the countries (I only recently added the countries) .

In each file I have the following:

-N Whitelist nethash --hashsize 1024 --probes 4 --resize 50
-N Blacklist iphash --hashsize 298932 --probes 8 --resize 50
-N BlockedCountries nethash --hashsize 298932 --probes 4 --resize 50

Are these the values I need to overwrite and is it normal to have the two ipset files?

I also, in the ipamount file see the magic number 65535.

Thanks!

ipset.txt is where each set is saved to every hour. ipset2.txt is a backup of that file every 24 hours.

That being said, the values only need to be replaced in ipset.txt then a reboot should fix your issue (as it will load ipset.txt on boot)


ipamount is just where I store the number of banned IP's for the syslog to reference.
 
Am I supposed to just add the three lines or replace (overwrite) the three current lines?
Thanks!

Just overwrite the current lines in the file and IPSet should do the rest of the work for you after a reboot when it loads the file (ipset.txt)
 
I have installed the scripts to the correct locations and have checked to ensure they are executable. I am not getting any banned IP's and when I run the script manually
Code:
sh /jffs/scripts/firewall-start
I get the following output:
Code:

Any ideas as to what I need to change?
 
This thread is great!

I just setup an AC68U with RMerlin and I want to block all non-us countries. I started looking at IPTables to block all the subnets from IPDeny.com, but its too many rules which will cause bad perf. I was directed to look at ipsets since its supposed to not impact performance.

So I started reading this thread at the first post. Is that first post still the best instructions for this or are there updates?

I am not sure how the country is determined in this method. However it is detected, how often is it updated with most recent subnets?

In the post, it says that this will grab IP's from the syslog and automatically ban them. Did I read that right?

Does this ban individual IP's or subnet ranges?

I would really like to implement this on my AC68U and also my Linux web server. I just want to make sure that I am working with the most accurate process when I start implementing it.

Thanks!

I just decided to re-set this up on a new router after a massive flood of dropped connections in my syslog from China!

Here is the code, and I am making the assumption Adamm doesn't mind me re-posting his excellent work:

firewall-start
Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo "0 * * * * /tmp/mnt/sda1/asusware.arm/bin/firewall save" > /var/spool/cron/crontabs/admin
echo "0 5 * * * /tmp/mnt/sda1/asusware.arm/bin/firewall backup" >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/admin
[ -n "`pidof crond`" ] && killall -q crond

sleep 1
crond
sh /tmp/mnt/sda1/asusware.arm/bin/firewall

and /opt/bin/firewall

Code:

Eet_46,

Try the command "firewall save" one time. Not using this right now but seemed to kick start the banning for me if I remember correctly.
 
Well, i already ran this command some time ago, to make it create /opt/tmp/ipset.txt.
So that file exists already, making me doubt that this is the solution :/

Btw, only thing i edited was the path in "firewall-start", from

/tmp/mnt/sda1/asusware.arm
to

as it otherwise gave me an error.

I saw this question being asked a few times and this thread being linked so I thought i'd post my current code. I removed a few functions like my autoupdate feature until I get my VPS up and running again.

I saw this question being asked a few times and this thread being linked so I thought i'd post my current code. I removed a few functions like my autoupdate feature until I get my VPS up and running again.

Sorry, i'm a bit confused now, with your new code, some of the changes would be nice to know why they are made :)

Maybe an update of the main post, so everything is up to date? That would be a lot easier, rather than one having to read through the entire thread to gather bits of info..
 
Hold the Phone... why does this script backup and flashes the bootoader?
