Empty file, Adding '127.1.7.7' to avoid download failure

[janithahn]

Hi,
I'm trying to setup an alias of Netflix using pfBlockerNG and I've set it up like below.

Yet, I see lines below in the logs when I reload/update the IPs.

[ AS40027_v4 ]			 Downloading update [ 08/19/24 11:49:40 ] .
  Downloading ASN: 40027...... completed ..
  Empty file, Adding '127.1.7.7' to avoid download failure.

It's the same for all the other ASNs as well (AS2906, AS55095).

Additionally, I tried running curl command below from the pfSense box to make sure the API works. Seems it gives me the OK result as well.

curl -sS1 https://api.bgpview.io/asn/40027/prefixes

{"status":"ok","status_message":"Query was successful","data":{"ipv4_prefixes":[{"prefix":"45.57.8.0\/24","ip":"45.57.8.0","cidr":24,"roa_status":"Valid","name":"SS-CDN-4","description":"Netflix Streaming Services Inc.","country_code":"US","parent":{"prefix":"45.57.0.0\/17","ip":"45.57.0.0","cidr":17,"rir_name":"ARIN","allocation_status":"unknown"}},{"prefix":"45.57.8.0\/23","ip":"45.57.8.0","cidr":23,"roa_status":"Valid","name":"SS-CDN-4","description":"Netflix Streaming Services Inc.","country_code":"US","parent":{"prefix":"45.57.0.0\/17","ip":"45.57.0.0","cidr":17,"rir_name":"ARIN","allocation_status":"unknown"}},{"prefix":"45.57.9.0\/24","ip":"45.57.9.0","cidr":24,"roa_status":"Valid","name":"SS-CDN-4","description":"Netflix Streaming Services Inc.", ...

Can anybody please help me to fix this?

TLDR: As of now blocking ASNs doesn't work. Hopefully a fix is coming but no update yet.

As a workaround, you could see what IP blocks NETFLIX has and manual create your list
