Morpheus MoBlock Developer Join Date: Mar 2006 Country: Posts: 92	Introducing MoBlock Hi i'm the developer of MoBlock, an application that has the same purpose of peerguardian linux. I was contacted by phrosty to make MoBlock become the official peerguardian linux so here i am to explain what i would like to do. I know there is already a pg client for linux and the normal thing would be to continue developing it, but for me it is easier to just continue developing on code i wrote and i know better. So for now i was thinking about making people know and use it, make suggestions, report bugs, ask for features and then if everyone is happy with how things are going then mark it as official. I'm very happy how MoBlock is working, it's stable (i'm developing/using it for more than a year now), uses few resources and i tried to just add the very needed features to keep it light and simple (thanks to people that suggested new features and sent patches!). So this is my main idea: keep it simple. At present it works with libipq or the new nfnetlink_queue libraries, loads ipfilter.dat or .p2p/.p2b block lists, merges overlapping/duplicated ranges in the loaded list, uses few resorces (about 13MB ram with 100K+ ranges loaded, cpu load very very low), block list can be reloaded while MoBlock is running, logs blocked ranges in realtime to a logfile and statistics to /var/log/MoBlock.log on shutdown and from user request, supports queuing packets from default INPUT/OUPUT iptables chains and NAT table OUTPUT chain. Features already planned for next release: support for queuing from FORWARD chain (thanks to hyakki for suggestions, testing and bug reports!), better handling of logfile for log rotation (thx to lestlest for suggestions and patches!) and support for debian packaging (again thx to lestlest for this, it's all his work). Try it and tell us what you think :)

As i said i am not going to tell people "drop pg linux and use MoBlock", just propose it as an alternative, people will use what they like/fits their needs.

First time i read about it, from a quick view on the website i think you can simply use "-j NFQUEUE/QUEUE" instead of ACCEPT/DROP, it should work with no problems.

I ask because I think CONNMARK, which IPP2P uses, changes the structure passed in QUEUE commands, for a little more history, see
this thread which happens to be one of the first and only kicked over to the technical support forum.

I guess it's pretty technical stuff.

But if MoBlock works with it, you've got one more user headed your way.

(Or try it with MoBlock and report here what happens) There should be no problem using it, because the mark by CONNMARK (or the classid by CLASSIFY) is stored in the packet associated data at kernel level, not the actual packet data where MoBlock and pg linux search for src/dst address. If you provide more info about your setup it should be easy to understand where the problem is.

Yeah, the logs are pretty mundane, just says something like ERROR$ on most lines, and a couple of blocked addresses until it craps out entirely.
I agree there should be no problem using it, but peerguardian definitely can't handle layer 7 services being installed, and works a treat without.
I'm using IPCop 1.4.10 which is based upon kernel 2.4.31
IPCop is a firewall dist so it doesn't come with any development tools, making it really hard to just test out software without binaries.
Layer 7 services for IPCop are also installed from http://www.mhaddons.tk/

the following modules are loaded:

K, but I don't think the iptables rules will really make a difference (except for the mangle stuff, maybe). It's just the layer 7 that causes a problem. With Layer 7 = works, without Layer 7 = no works.

Here it is
filter, nat & mangle:

Most interesting is probably the mangle table.
Really, if you want to help out, just try MoBlock with Layer 7 services along with fairnat to see if it's working, if it does, then it's just figuring out how to compile for IPCop.

dedicated_firewall+peergaurdian_like_program+fairn at_QoS = nirvana

Trying to trace these iptables rules takes forever, and is probably just a waste of time... but then again, you probably understand them better than me

Thanks for your help
