Alias

Hi !

Anyone found a way to define a protocol grout where there are mixed protocols inside (for example VPN with TCP and UDP protocols) ?
Or is it really the right way to define two separate groups - one for UDP and the other for TCP ?

Furthermore why is it not possible to use underscores or else for alias-names ?

@trendchiller:

This is a limitation of pf.

Perhaps an issue to be changed !?
think for a couple of protocol groups that are mixed with TCP/UDP or GRE, whatever, ex. VPN-rules.
ok, you could set up separate rules for each protocol, but would be nicer to disable the protocol-button when a port-alias is used… !?

An option to be considered would be to create one Alias for such a group and create one rule for it in the webgui. The backend then can create a bunch of rules that only display as one rule at the frontend. Backend and frontend don't need to be the same here. I agree that this would be something nice to have (maybe there are other options, but here is the place to discuss ;) ) but main focus atm is getting to release status. Maybe after 1.0 is out. We should keep the thought…
