      When using the Custom DST Port settings, you can't leave the protocol to "any". This is something internal to how pfSense/FreeBSD handles the rules, and doesn't allow "any" for the protocol when adding Port definitions.

      Its in the Note there:

      Note: Do not use 'any' with Adv. Inbound Rules as it will bypass these settings!

      And on save

      "Settings: Protocol setting cannot be set to 'Default' with Advanced Inbound firewall rule settings."

        @bbcan177 I have the same problem. IP block settings. Set to block in both directions, but only want it to block incoming on specific ports. I had this setup and working on 3.1.0.5, but updating to 3.1.0.9 blanked out my alias from the inbound settings. I have no need to block with PFBLOCKER, what the firewall will do as a matter of course, except for a few ports that I have open for a VPN. But I can't set it to do that and have posted here maybe 4 days ago...

          Not using "Any" using TCP only and Alias will not stay.

                Today I also hit this. No port is saved and that is kinda problematic. I will have to turn off logging for that rule to not get flooded.

                      Happy to report as well that the patch above resolved the issue with the Custom DST Port entry not saving under Advanced Inbound Firewall Rule Settings. Thanks @BBcan177 for the quick fix.

                            Working here- input my port-alias and the setting stuck- and the REPORTS/ALERTS calmed down and I am only seeing inbound alerts on the ports listed in my alias.

                                  @BBcan177 Today I had the impression that rsync downloads don't work. I switched to auto and gave a regular http-address and the list got updated again. I don't know where the problem lies, could be up to them (uceprotect) and is not related to the topic about ports at all! Just to let you know... Rsync doesn't seem to be that necessary anyways.

                                          Sry, I don't even know where to look at what... I am a noob for the most part. I only know that it has worked before and, maybe, after the "patch" from here, rsync didn't worked anymore, presumably. Or it was just a coincidence.

                                            Hey the patch fixed the issue port alias not saving for IPv4 but not for the GeoIP rules. Anyone have luck with that?
