Importing a large list of ip addresses to deny at once
-
I want to deny all access from ip addresses associated with Russia. I have the location where I can create a list of all of Russia's ip addresses in different formats such as CIDR, etc.
Is there an import option to import the entire list at once, and if so, what format does pfsense require?
-
how about just install pfblocker and pick russia from the list?

The part concerning URL Table Aliases might also work for you.

pfblocker? Never heard of it. Let me check it out..Thank you.

Yeah, I'd go with URL Table Aliases instead of installing and configuring pfBlocker. Cleaner and simpler.

Only reason I would pick pfblocker is it makes it real simple to block countries, and you can just use it as alias for your rules vs letting pfblocker doing anything with your firewall rules.
Also allow you to pick other things for alias lists vs just country netblocks, etc.
Just look in the pfsense packages.
