      You could try blocking them by AS number. Looks like AS2906 from a quick google. Plug that into pfBlocker to make an alias.

      Or add it manually:

      I've never tried that personally.

        Hello @OpenWifi, did you tried @stephenw10 ASN_List suggestion, does it work?
        I guess if it does not you can always extract the IP's manually and add them in:
        https://ipinfo.io/AS2906

        Regards,
        Martin

            The IP's you obtained using Netflix were not hosted by the AS ?
            If not, whois the IP, locate the AS, and add that also to the list.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??

              Should the example from @stephenw10 have had ASN rather than whois ?

              Never used whois with pfBlockerNG but have used ASN.

                ASN is not an option for me. Are you running pfBlocker-dev?

                Whois is the correct option in the non-dev package:

                Whois:
                Convert a Domain name or AS into its respective IP addresses.
