      hi
      is it possible to define a list of custom non contiguous ports to be used in one firewall rule ?
      i have created an alias for ports but when creating firewall rule it wont show in "Destination port range" filed . .it has some predfined values or one can specify a contiguous range of ports.

      while i can create 10 rule to block/allow each specific rule but they all are meant for one task but i want to know if it is possible to create a group of ports that i can use in firewall rule ?

      i think this was possible in 2.2 and any filed that would accept alias had red color .. which i do not see in current version.

        Did you put in a letter or Number in the box that your alias starts with?  It will then show you any aliases that start with that letter.

          thanks
          just moments after editing my post "i think this was possible in 2.2 and any filed that would accept alias had red color .. which i do not see in current version."

          i tried and it accepted it.

          however i missed this feature in 2.3 that made things obvious

            If I understand the question it must be.  I have such an alias.

            Have to select "(other)" as the "From" and "To" in order to see aliases in "Custom".
