The format of the remote file should be a text/plain file with a line per IP address or subnet to add into the blacklist.
Here you can see an example of a correct blacklist format:
Notice that each line is formed by only an IPv4 address.
If you would like to include an entire Subnet Range you should use this format to represent the mask: ipv4_address/bits
For example: 172.14.43.0/24 will affect IP address from 172.14.43.1 to 172.14.43.254
