allow out to web address instead of IP address

[srytryagn]

Is there a way to provide a website and port number in a lan allow out rule instead of an IP ( if the IP is dynamic) ?

The field does not accept web addresses, what is the way to do this ?

@srytryagn create an alias with whatever fqdn your wanting to allow. Then use this alias in your firewall rule.

The IP of this fqdn will be updated every 5 minutes by default.
