Not sure if i understood this part. So you also mean it also dont filter anything besides no log about any update? If yes and because the 138 days in the screenshot, is this a old core version? there was in the past a problem with URLFilter… i forgot what version…
Edit. thought a second again about…the problem what i meant was “only” resetting the settings… so better forget my last words 
Even if I upload a new blacklist file the update date doesn’t change. And it looks like the filter doesn’t work at all anymore -> just tested some common porn sites with no filtering, but the checkbox is set.
Is there a way to reinstall or reset the url filter?
I tried already the settings restore of an working installation with no success.
AFAIK this only works for automatic (tried on my own). I can see under Logs → System Logs → URLFilter Blacklist
URL filter blacklist - Blacklist update from local source completed
but the update date doesn’t change…
Iam not a big fan of fiddle arround with the settings/files if we talk about things that do not work anymore whats default shipped via IPF install. I suggest to consider, because your other suspicious problems you wrote in another thread, to do a clean install and use a backup. Sounds for me fast, easy and cleanest way…
Hi,
first thing that came to my view:
Your request for [**http://shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz**](http://shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz) could not be fulfilled, because the domain name **shallalist.de** could not be resolved.
Just leave that field empty. It is handled by IPFire.
A manual update - using the correct download link - should work though, but translating the databases can take a loong time depending on your machine. Try and wait.
HTH,
Matthias
i already suggest this 
yes but
Then look for /var/ipfire/urlfilter/blacklists/.autoupdate.last
This is the semaphore file. Check rights: nobody:nobody / 0644
Lucky me I just remembered the root passwd.
I don’t have that file at all.
Btw. I got rid of the custom link but still no success.
Thats not true Do you see the info 1 versteckt? You have do enable in winscp Listenfenster → show hidden files
I did that already and restarted ipfire, but nothing happens. I triggered “update now” but it’s not downloading anything and I don’t get any log entries.
Also the filter still does not filter any porn sites.
What does running
/var/ipfire/urlfilter/bin/autoupdate.pl http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz
on console tell you?
Rights should be:
root@ipfire: / # ls /var/ipfire/urlfilter/bin/autoupdate.pl -ls
8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody nobody 5369 Jul 14 16:59 /var/ipfire/urlfilter/bin/autoupdate.pl
=> Something messed with the file rights…
I don’t know how and why. May you pls also check the other files? Fixed the known and at least it’s downloading an update now.
The filter is also working again.
/var/ipfire/urlfilter should be owned by nobody:nobody / 0755
You’ll find the other rights in attachment: urlfilter_rights.txt.zip (3.8 KB)
But I’d like to think you’re done.
HTH,
Matthias
OK thx a lot.
Due to personal reasons and the political situation in this country the company Shalla Secure Services has been closed and in consequence the blacklist service has been stopped.
Sorry for any inconveniences.
Time will tell if we can start in another country again.
