Use cases can be different e.g. i remeber a project in the old forum
which was about a company blocker (facebook, Windows, Apple) or in
general the whole telemetry stuff can also be unwanted and there are
some lists out there which can help to block also the "good" ones. If
there are own vast lists of unwanted IPs, IPSet which is working here,
is then the best way to do so, therefor my idea to bring in some
flexibility in this great project to prevent scripting around in
parallel for, let´s say, doing the same twice.
