There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:217: 65.161.127.149 is not a numberpfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded - The line in question reads [217]: table { 82.85.3.78.86….........

Best wishes, Marcel

ps. I have changed the IP numbers displayed above

Can you please post the complete alert? You'll find it in the systemlogs.

:-[ :o ;D

The problem is solved and I made a typo in one of the 50 addresses and a "/" was at the end of the IP number.
On reload I don't get any warnings anymore to my relief.

Thanks for your reply Hoba and I sorry to for any inconvienance on your side caused by my TYPO.

Best wishes, Marcel

No problem, it's better this way than discovering a serious bug ;D

I know you've marked this as solved, but where was the typo? In the alias input screen? If so, maybe we're missing a validation check that should have caught that.
