So under firewall, we will click on aliases, let's talk about how to create this list in the first place. So we have the option of IPs, ports and URLs for our firewall aliases. We're going to click Add under the IP selection, and we're going to name this Apple. We're just going to say you know what, I know that Apple has a IP range that is huge, but it is consistent, so I'm going to just enter the entire thing in here and just reference it as Apple in the future.
