Now that I have been using a home made pfsense router for several months, I'd like to extend all of the network security responsibility to it as well.
I was a zealous supporter of hosts files for many years, though am finding that method to be outdated.
Unfortunately, the only way I know how to block http/https sites in pfsense, is to make a firewall alias. This means putting in each ip address as a new entry one at a time.
Is there a method to drop my existing Hostsman/host file entries into pfsense and have it block the sites?
Also, the impression I get is that adblocking should be done by a browser, or a module such as Squidguard.
I looked at Squid and supplementing packages, though am not ready to deploy those yet.

Any suggestions on site blocking that moves away from a hosts file, please advise.
