How to create a Web category from external source

Does this help?

Hi,

i also want to import this link: http://cdn.rawgit.com/austinheap/sophos-xg-block-lists/master/steven-blacks-unified-list.txt

I still have no luck with any list i try. Maybe a Bug in XG???

When i create and import a local text file with the same context as the http link, (limited by 2000 entrys), ist works perfectly.

That list is 43,000 entries.

I do not recall the maximum list size, but AFAIK the XG is not intended to handle custom categories that large.

Realize that every time you make a web request, the XG would check that URL against the entire list of 43,000 entries.  At 100 request/second that's a sizeable performance hit.

Please note that Sophos works with partners to share known malware domains and that the majority of lists like this are domains that are already categorized correctly (malware, advertisements, etc).

Ah,

ok sorry. I´havent found any limit notification. Good to know. 

Thank you for the link. 

It describes how this lists has to be formated.
