        Appreciate the assist. Went to your link - https://bgp.tools/as/714#prefixes - I got the prefixes and did a bulk import for the alias.
        Works without issue as a workaround to the issue with pfBlocker.

          @michmoor not sure I would call it an issue with pfblocker - seems more to me an issue with the site that pfblocker uses to get the info ;) But yeah for sure that is a work around until such time that site is fully operational again..

            which is back running as of about 15 minutes ago, albeit still a little sluggish.

              @jrey I think they are still having major problems..

              I just got this trying to do a search for asn off their main page

              Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

                didn't try that 😊 -
                only tried the api calls and were/are responding (little slower than what I would call "normal" but a response at least) That's all pfblocker uses

                https://api.bgpview.io/asn/714/prefixes

                {"status":"ok","status_message":"Query was successful","data":{"ipv4_prefixes":[{"prefix":"17.0.0.0\/8","ip":"17.0.0.0","cidr":8,"roa_status":"None","name
                
                etc, etc

                  yeah that did respond.. Good that they fix the api before the main site ;) But yeah it was a bit sluggish but then it did pop with all the data..

                        All I can say is that at 01:20:13 Eastern it was working fine

                        .. completed (Download Valid)
                        removing bk file
                        . completed ..

                        and my next scheduled run isn't for a few hours.
                        (yesterday log file showed a couple of ASN's failing,
                        but for the most part ~95% of them they were fine.
                        0 failures in the run earlier today.
