      We have 4 internet connections from different providers with 16-64 ip addresses in each range. We would like to create a forwarding rule from a single address on each wan connection to the same server on our lan. The quick question is, do we have to create a rule for each wan interface or is there a way to create some sort of group of the wan ip addresses, so we don't have to have 4 separate rules? The long question would be, if we can create a group, how do we do it?

        @larryw It looks like pfSense will let you use an alias as a Destination, I've just never tried it. You can create an alias in Firewall/Aliases/IP.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          I found this link Multi-WAN and NAT that says you need a separate forward entry for each WAN. It just seems onerous since I have a lot of entries. It would be great if the interface could create the multiple entries at the same time, but then we would manage them as separate entries. It wouldn't seem that hard to add to make this process easier.
