 ### Configuration File
 
-Create a `rules.yaml`:
+Create a `rules.txt` (one rule per line, `#` comments and blank lines are ignored):
 
-```yaml

-  - action: allow
-    pattern: "github\.com"
-    methods: ["GET", "POST"]

-logging:
-  level: info
-  file: /var/log/httpjail.log
+```text
+# rules.txt
+allow-get: github\.com
+deny: telemetry

 Use the config:
 
 ```bash
-httpjail --config rules.yaml -- ./my-application
+httpjail --config rules.txt -- ./my-application
 ```
 
 ### Advanced Options
 
 ```bash
 # Dry run - log what would be blocked without blocking
-httpjail --dry-run --config rules.yaml -- ./app
+httpjail --dry-run --config rules.txt -- ./app
 
 # Verbose logging
