      Hi,
      I don't have any problems like that on any of my Alias.
      What is the different between "URL (IPs)" and "URL Table (IPs) in the Alias on the TYPE?

      This is an example of my Cloudflare Alias I use.

      EDIT: Found it :)

        @MoonKnight Ah, yes! URL Table(IPs) work, URL (IPs) does not!

        Difference is explained here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/aliases.html#url-aliases

        That's a much better workaround, thanks!

          There's a patch in the above redmine so someone can test this by using System Patches and the ID in the redmine, a6cf534d0fa0297547f1e587a12729f9d7066bae.

          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 would think it would show up in a System Patches package update in the next week or two. Another reason I wait a week or two to upgrade... ๐Ÿ˜ Jim usually posts in https://forum.netgate.com/category/16/pfsense-packages.

                I didn't have anything to do with the patch, I just posted it for y'all. If you set up a redmine account you can Watch an open case for updates.

                re: table aliases, they also can have over 3000 entries.

                  @LinkP How do you apply the patch using System Patches? I added the url https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repository/2/revisions/a6cf534d0fa0297547f1e587a12729f9d7066bae to a custom patch, but it fails. What am I missing?

                    @infamousbug Just use the ID there: a6cf534d0fa0297547f1e587a12729f9d7066bae

                    There's a URL for the actual patch file somewhere in Github but it's easier to use the ID.

                      @infamousbug, as @SteveITS has pointed out, you only need use the commit ID. The patch system knows to use the correct Github repo.

                      I added a description of Support URL IP aliases in alias_expand() that I gleaned from the commit and enabled the Auto Apply checkbox before I saved it.

                      Once you have fetched and applied the patch, you will need to reload the firewall. I disabled and re-enabled my rule that used the affected alias to trigger the Apply Changes button to appear.
