      Hello,

      I am trying to use the IP Range Aliases package to block a range of IP addresses. However when I go into Aliases after installing the package, nothing has changed in the gui. When I check in installed packages it is installed.
      Thanks,
      Caleb

        Add an alias, choose Network type, enter the IP range:

        x.x.x.x-y.y.y.y

        The CIDR mask box is ignored when a range is given.

        When you save, that range is translated into a list of CIDR networks.

          Cool, so when I enter 208.111.128.0 - 208.111.191.255 what I end up with in the values field is 208.111.128.0/18
          Does that seam right?
          btw, thanks for the quick reply!

                I m using 1.2.3

                Installed IP Ranges, seems to work fine , then it start behaving strange … range collapsing etc
                (I was trying to define a 10.0 range minus 3 subnet of 256 hosts, maybe I was doing wrong)

                so I re installed the package (without removing it)

                That broke the config file, could not do anything in the https or at the console.

                I reinstalled and start from scratch again (its a new setup anyway)

                2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
                Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz 8GB
                Backup 0.5_5, Bandwidthd 0.7.4_4, Cron 0.3.7_5, pfBlockerNG-devel 3.0.0_16, Status_Traffic_Totals 2.3.1_1, System_Patches 1.2_5
