First, and foremost thank you for your efforts on this project @austinheap !

I am having some issues importing these lists into the Sophos XG, mainly because the XG only takes lists which are HTTP, and not HTTPS.

The links labeled HTTP appear to be unreachable (404), and i see the host redirecting to the HTTPS equivalent, an example being:
https://sophos-xg-block-lists.austinheap.com/easyprivacy.txt

The HTTPS links work, as they're hosted by Github.
example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/austinheap/sophos-xg-block-lists/master/adguard.txt

I have tried entering the Github URL as HTTP, since it will redirect to HTTPS anyways, and i figured it would "trick" the sophos UTM to pull the list anyhow, but it has not worked. Silly they only allow HTTP based lists.

Thank you,
Rick

Unfortunately, the links are still broken on my end, indicating a 404 error. I spot checked a few other HTTP links, and had the same issue.

404 Not Found

Weird... I've tested from multiple locations successfully. Can you share the output from curl -s http://sophos-xg-block-lists.austinheap.com/easyprivacy.txt? Please note HTTPS/SSL will never be available on the domain sophos-xg-block-lists.austinheap.com.

Please note HTTPS/SSL will _never_ be available on the domain `sophos-xg-block-lists.austinheap.com`.
