As I-BlockList seems to be migrating towards restricting blocklist downloads to registered users only (see bottom of this page), IP Filter now requires specifying a username and a PIN (via IBL_USER
and IBL_PIN
in ipfilter.conf
) to use the I-BlockList feature. Note that registration with I-BlockList is free of charge. Unregistered users might experience errors due to I-BlockList redirecting downloads to a captcha page (see issue #8).
For now, the advice is as follows:
If ipfilter-v4.4
still works for you, keep using it. If you are experiencing issues, register with I-BlockList and migrate to ipfilter-v4.5
.
Changes:
- Added support for downloading blocklists from I-BlockList as registered user (by supplying username and PIN via configuration items
IBL_USER
andIBL_PIN
). Fixes issue #8 - Obfuscate I-BlockList username and PIN in console/log output (to prevent leaking sensitive information via logs and/or when posting script output on GitHub)
