Imported IP´s are not saved

[Hahnimkorb]

Hi,

Got a problem with the blockpost-plugin:
When i´m importing the files (IP`s), everything works fine, i can see all the entries and the websites are blocked, but when i reboot my system, there are no entries anymore.

Made a fresh and clean install of OP, but this didn´t help.

OS: Windows XP
OP Pro

Any idea?
Thanx

What are your log settings? (general tab in options)

Sorry, it was BlockPost wasn't it?
did you hit rebuild after adding the sites?

@ Chrisclu:
The Log settings are: 250 entries max.
Well, i´m not sure, if it happened after "rebuild", too.

Since i´m at work now, i will try it tomorrow and post my reply.

Thanx for the quick replies

Where were you able to set 250 max in blockpost?

[Hahnimkorb]

Aaah, sorry, my mistake. I thought, you meant the size of my logfile....The Max entry is 40000.

Okay, i did a clean/fresh install, imported 1500 IP´s, but when i hit "rebuild", there are only 55 entries (The P2P´s) left.

When i import them, reboot without rebuild, they are all there, and Blockpost does its job well, weird....

So, do i have to check anything else, or did i miss anything?

Thank you

Hello Hahnimkorb
Actually, it's doesn't matter did you rebuild the list or not and how many times you restarted and reinstall OP, and log settings, etc. That all action doesn't related to your situation when blockpost didn't save it's config file. Blockpost saving it's config everytime when you shutdown OP, meaning: OP must be correctly shutdowned, without crash, etc. And blockpost use "\Outpost Firewall 1.0\blockpost.lst" file as config - it must not be in use when OP shutdown. Generally it's quite simple algorithm, so me think blockpost shouldn't have a bugs here, also, you may edit that file manually, but only when OP is not active, because blockpost rewrite file content every time when OP is shutdown.

....all is running well now.
i just shutted down OP and restarted it, and everything is like it should be.

Thank you for your quick replies and good support.
