    I'm trying to use a local file with IP addresses; however I get the following issue: IPv4 Source Definitions, Line 1: Invalid URL or Hostname not resolvable!

    There doesn't appear to be a way to set the source as local file, but the pop up suggests this is possible. What am I doing wrong?

      @jstride

      check the info block below the add button

      Local file:
      http(s)://127.0.0.1/filename  or  /var/db/pfblockerng/filename

      have you tried placing the file in the directory listed?

        Thanks @jrey, i'd read that originally as it being any local file location. THat was the prompt I needed. Put the file in /var/db/pfblockerng and it works.
