Block aliases

[anttechs]

Is it possible to block an alias in Pfblocker or any other means?
For example, I traced rout a company and got its ip range and ipv6 range and it gave me the option to make an alias out of it.
Can I use this Alias to be blocked?

Really? Blocking an IP (range) is one of the basics of a firewall. Start reading: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/book/firewall/index.html

Sarcasm is not impressive.

I am talking about blocking an alias from a DNS lookup.
Is it possible and how.

Its easier to DNS Lookup get the info and make an Alias and I was just wondering if I could because I tried and It would seem to work out.

I'm not a noob I know how to block ranges.

Yes, of course.

What? Your alias holds IP address ranges. What is it you're trying to accomplish?

[anttechs]

Ok for example

It says I can make an alias from it which would be great because I could block the whole lot with just an alias.

I just wondered if it was as easy as that.

It's as easy as that. Create alias. Fill with hosts/IPs. Add firewall rule to block alias. Reset any existing states to those addresses. Done.
