I recently assisted someone on IRC with a network issue they were having with pfSense related to bogon networks. The cause was a stale bogons file which didn’t take the latest assignment into account.
[removed bogons file contents]
On pfSense this file is located at:
/etc/bogons
Update:
I did some further research into this and discovered that the bogons file is actually updated on the first of every month using a cron job. The script that is run uses a random delay to prevent hammering of the pfSense server. The file that is retrieved is located at http://files.pfsense.org/bogon-bn-nonagg.txt. I have verified that this file is up to date.
The update bogons script is located at: /etc/rc.update_bogons.sh
Running the script at the end of the build process is a good idea if you don’t want to update the bogons file directly. For immediate results you will want to create a copy of the script and edit out the parts that create a delay run the script with the ‘now’ argument.
/etc/rc.update_bogons.sh now
