      Good morning

      I've been looking some of the posts related to this topic but I dont find the help I need, or maybe I can't understand it, and the documentation is not very explanatory.

      The doubts I have are:

      • Can I have a file on Google Drive, share it and use that link for the URL Table IP? Itried it but is not reading the content, the table is just empty.
      • Is it possible to have the file on a shared folder and use it in some way? I tried it but seems that file:// is not a valid URL option.

      Also I tried it with a bitbucket on aws with a file containing just an IP "192.168.xxx.xxx" and it works fine, but the correct file are networks and is not working, the table is empty.

      The way I'm adding the info to the file is like this "192.168.2.0/24 192.168.12.0/24 192.168.13.0/24 192.168.14.0/24". I don't know if this is the right format because I couldn't find any information about it.

      Thanks in advance

        Seems you are're rather looking for the alias type "URL (IPs)".
        The URLs should then target to an text file with an IP addresses or networks, each in a separate row.
        E.g.

        192.168.2.0/24
        192.168.12.0/24
        192.168.13.0/24
        192.168.14.0/24
        192.168.22.52

          That works perfectly!

          If I understand correctly the "URL (IPs)" just read the file and the URL Table (IPs) read the file a download the info in local, so I guess that it depends of the scenary it should be better the Table and have he last state of the file in local in case of internet loss.

          About my two main questions, any information?
