Is it possible to create whitelists/blacklists from a text file?

We need to find a way to upload blacklisted or whitelisted IP's, domains, URL's from a text file and assign tags to them, is it possible?

  • It is possible. In Web Protection -> Filtering Options -> Websites -> New Site, paste the domain names and URLs and create a new tag called Whitelist. Repeat that also for blacklisted sites.

    After that you will have two tag objects that you can use in filter actions and filtering exceptions.

  • Thank you for your answer, but I ment if there is any automatic way, without any human interaction. Is it possible to upload file, for example via SSH, directly to file system or make some script that could import blacklisted/whitelisted domains and IPs and assign a tag to them automatically.
  • Thanks.

    So the next question is. When will this be possible ?

    This is exactly what we want to do.

    Using a script we built, our server generates a list of attackers IP Addresses for various things. FTP attacks, server login attempts, email login attempts, etc.

    No way in the world I want to manually put in this list.

     

    Need a way to create and automate an IP blacklist.

  • Hi, Curtis, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    I would urge you to check to see if any of the IPs you want to block had been able to penetrate the UTM's built-in defenses. It's possible that some changes to your configuration might obviate the need for your old approach.

    In any case, the rest of this thread had to do with Web Filtering where there are already databases of reputation, etc. that are checked prior to allowing browsing to a site.  I would suggest that you might well find that there's a reason this capability hasn't been added.

    Cheers - Bob
