How do import the IP2Proxy VPN list and block IP addresses using the firewall?

Question

I'm currently evaluating firewalls. My goal is to block all traffics from VPN providers. We have the VPN IP address list from the IP2Proxy in the following format with IP address ranges in decimal format.

"17496733","17496733","VPN","TH","Thailand"
"17496784","17496784","VPN","TH","Thailand"
"17543533","17543533","VPN","KR","Korea (Republic of)"
"17544563","17544563","VPN","KR","Korea (Republic of)"

How can we use Sophos firewall to block the 11 millions VPN servers?

Selamat pagi Chris and welcome to the UTM Community! 
 This isn't an approach to use with sophisticated tools like Sophos UTM or XG. If you add even 11 thousand IPs to either, you will get about 1 Kbps throughput. With both tools, the solution is to use what we call Application Control and Webserver Protection in the UTM world. 
 A tip for further evaluation... Rather than imagining a solution and asking how to implement it, you will want to ask how a certain problem is solved with the tool you're evaluating.

Hello Chris, 
 Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community! 
 In the UTM you would use the Application Control and Web Protection, to block this type of VPNs. 
 As mentioned by Bob, you wouldn't want to block the 11 millions + VPN servers IPs, rather you would block the application itself. 
 Regards,
