      Hi.

      I am running the pfsense version outlined below.

      I am able to create port aliases freely but unable to locate where I can specify them in pass/block firewall rules I wish to define.

      The aliases are not appearing in the port drop down list for either source or destination network/address.

      In this specific case the ports are tcp in nature to establish a https connection to an IAM solution.

      What am I missing?

      Many thanks in advance!

      Regards,

        @hanalei_boy Start typing the alias name in the port field.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
