How do we make PF load a List or Table content from a File...?
Hi Team
I have a FreeBSD 6.1 acting as a Gateway and Firewall using PF. My requirement is that I have a long list of end user IPs that should be allowed access to Internet and specific ports. I have currently done it using Table which I have defined it like below
Table <allowlist> { IP1 IP2 IP3 IP4 IP5 }
I then call the Table in the rules. However, I have close to about 60 IPs to define in the list and feel it would be great if I could define a file like /etc/allowlist and add all the IPs one each on a line and call the File.
Do you think that's possible...?
