      There are numerous inquiry on how to block certain web sites like facebook, etc and many solutions.  For me, I needed central place where I could make the change and have it apply to ANY firewalls I  manage immediately. Here's a quick and effective solution - IP Blocklist package.

        That function is actually built into pfSense, no package needed.

        Firewall > Aliases, add new alias, type = URL Table.

        The difference is the format, for URL tables the format is just the IPs in either IP or CIDR format, the ones you show have a name and IP ranges (which don't work for URL tables)

          1.2.3 does not have this hence I posted it.  With IPSEC VPN issues, we are still standard on 1.23 vs 2.0.x.

            You didn't mention 1.2.3 in your first post, and it is no longer supported nor recommended for use.
