Could not fetch URL when creating ALIAS

RaulChiarella

Hello.

I am creating a alias using raw.githubusercontent but it's not working...
It says "A valid URL or alias must be provided. Could not fetch usable data from 'raw.githubusercontent.com/[...]/hostsList.txt"

Please, can someone help me?

@raulchiarella what exactly are you trying to pull - yes you would need a valid url.. Could you post the link to what your trying to use.

Are you trying to use this list in the native alias - or pfblocker?

this

raw.githubusercontent.com/[...]/hostsList.txt

Wouldn't be valid..

So created an alias using that, seems to pull fine. Then put into a rule to test the table being loaded. Tables are not really populated until the alias is actually put into a rule.

But then you can see the table populated

edit: btw that list could you some clean up for sure... lots of duplicated networks.

example - these are all listed

185.60.216.0/22
185.60.216.0/24
185.60.217.0/24
185.60.218.0/24
185.60.219.0/24

But that first /22 covers all of those /24s - there are multiple examples of that in that list..
