      @rstx On 22.05 I get no crash, but I get error:

      "The following input errors were detected:
      A valid URL must be provided. Could not fetch usable data from 'https://feeds.dshield.org/block.txt'."

      Per https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/aliases.html#url-aliases "If URL (IPs) is selected, then the URLs must contain IP address or CIDR masked network entries" and that feed has a start and end IP as well as several other columns.

      Possibly helpful, pfBlockerNG-devel has that feed under the ISC_Block name. You could use Alias Native to create an alias with that.

      Is 22.05.1 not a general release? (I don't have an 8200...)

      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.

        The 22.05.1 Release is for the new Intel i226 Driver.

        Netgate 6100 & Netgate 2100

          @steveits I know there are other columns in that file but perhaps I should have mentioned that I also have a Netgate 1100 running 22.05 and I have URL aliases defined on it, including the example above, without issue.

          However, DShield was the only URL that I tried before moving on to other things. Other firewall rules I looked at this morning list only single IPs and work fine with URL Aliases such as https://rules.emergingthreats.net/fwrules/emerging-Block-IPs.txt.

            I just upgraded a 6100 to 8200. I'm seeing the same issue on the 8200. Never once saw it on the 6100.

              @cylosoft one of you should open a bug report at http://redmine.pfsense.org/

                @steveits or a post in https://forum.netgate.com/category/62/pfblockerng since this is likely an issue with the DEVEL release.

                  @steveits said in Netgate 8200 - Firewall URL Table Alias not working:

                  Correct. Just for the updated versions of the 6100 and 8200 models.

                    It's been fixed on 23.01 - see here:

                    In the meantime, you may apply the following patch:
