Importing OpenDBL into PAN-OS as External Dynamic Lists (EDL)

Palo Alto Networks firewalls natively support importing OpenDBL feeds as External Dynamic Lists (EDLs).

1

Create an External Dynamic List Object

Navigate to Objects > External Dynamic Lists in PAN-OS Web Interface and click Add.

2

Configure List Source

Set Type to IP List and enter the OpenDBL list URL (e.g. https://opendbl.net/lists/ipsum.list).

3

Attach EDL to Security Policy

Reference the newly created EDL object in your inbound or outbound Security Policies.

Rule Shadowing Warning: When using multiple lists from OpenDBL, overlapping IP addresses may trigger rule shadowing warnings upon commit. These warnings can be safely ignored.
