      Hello,

      I've got several aliases for Ports and Networks setup that i've use successfully in defining Firewall rules. However, i also would like to use these Aliases in other places, for example in DHCP Servers to define ranges, or in VPN configurations (OpenVPN) to define listening ports, IPv4 networks and IPv4 routes.

      Is it possible to use Aliases (ports and networks) outside of the Firewall section like i'm describing above?

      Thanks,
      Nick

        @nmaludy I’m not sure without checking, however, any place that allows an alias uses autocomplete when typing in the field,AFAIK.

        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.

          @steveits It doesn't look like they are allowed in those various configurations i mentioned. I've been having to hand-type the the networks and ports anywhere outside of the Firewall tab.
