      I want to block traffics from a certain country. I know I can export and save a free IP address list from firewall generator and one of the common CIDR output format is as below.

      What should I do next to import the list to enable blocking in pfSense? I don't want to enter it manually.

        You probably want the pfBlockerNG package.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
