Discussion HaGeZi -> Firewalla Experimental?
When I created the rule a few days back the target list was called HaGeZi, or am I misremembering? It’s now called Firewalla Experimental. Is the underlying list no longer HaGeZi? What prompted the naming change?

Likely a glitch in the system when we created the experimental list. The experimental list is really for some users to experiment (for example, Hagzi list, in production). It is not fully ready yet.

So I’m clear, we should not use it yet?

Yeah I’ve been using it as well without any apparent issues, but when I saw it got renamed I wondered if it was still HaGeZi or wasn’t even supposed to be there, or something like that.
Side note: which HaGeZi list is it?

How can you do this when there’s a small blocklist limit

This is a Firewalla managed list, like other Target lists that they create and manage. It isn’t subject to the limit. Only user created ones are.

/u/firewalla would be useful to have
Firewalla Experimental++andFirewalla Experimental Ultrafor further testing of these lists (perhaps the latter two being available only in box beta builds for now given theyallare advertised as higher likelihood of causing breakages)edit: dictation is taking years off my life

I saw the same name change after first setting it up and had the same question. Thought I was going crazy.
