Allow ICMP from whitelist .txt hosted online?

CntrlAltDel

Occasional Visitor
Hi there,
Does anyone know if it's at all possible to source IP whitelist for ICMP from an online .txt? In GUI there's only a blanket "Respond ICMP Echo (ping) Request from WAN" option but I'd like to control this a bit more.
 
Spent some time on this and took the most direct approach and it seems to be holding up:
- Installed Entware via amtm
- Installed curl and ca-bundle to download from https link with ip list .txt
- Created updater script that just curls once daily the .txt ip list
- Script then applied rule list

- Confirmed daily cron job
- Confirmed ICMP allowed for those IPs and not allowed from other sources (General "Respond ICMP Echo (ping) Request from WAN" is disabled).
