pf/pfctl loading CIDR tables & IPv6

[J. Hellenthal]

Hello List!

Hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this and get to a conclusion faster than I have time for right now.


But while loading a CIDR formatted list with ‘#’ comments from [1] I am getting the following error for multiple entries >10 and results in the only the partial list being loaded into the table… The settings to download the file[2] are from the Russian Federation, IPv6 and in CIDR format.

“ (pfctl -v -t blacklist -T add -f […]
No ALTQ support in kernel
ALTQ related functions disabled
no IP address found for 2001:BB6:6A10:4200:58D7:5934:7
pfctl: cannot load Downloads/cidr-3ffe1c0826f41fbdced334355b66202c.txt: Undefined error: 0
"

This happens both on FreeBSD 12-STABLE r367639 and the latest macOS Big Sur

Appreciate any feedback on this and willing to test any patches to resolve this situation.


Thank you
