      I have my firewall configured to send all traffic through PIA's VPN service and that's working correctly

      I'm trying to create an alias for a firewall rule that will permit all traffic to Netflix. I got the idea from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/48prww/amazon_aws_whitelist_using_vpn_gateway_for/#bottom-comments. In it, I'm using this list in the URL section of pfBlockerNG: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2CkAYamWXnjQkQ1aUw1YTBlQjA/Netflix_Global.txt

      How can I tell if the URL formatting is correct once the rule runs? I don't see a way to view the list in the Alias' section. If I run a traceroute to one of the IP addresses in the list, it looks like it's still going across the VPN tunnel and not getting sent out the normal gateway. For my rule, if I change it from the destionation alias to a source alias including the local IP address of my Playstation or AppleTV, it works just fine and I'm able to stream Netflix.

        You can use the pfBlockerNG Log Tab.

        Goto "Original IP Files", then view the contents of the original Feed.

        Goto "Deny" or "Permit" or "Match" (Depending on how you configured the Alias), and view the parsed IP file contents.

        Or goto the shell, and view the files from the subfolders in  /var/db/pfblockerng/
