      I installed one of the patches for the new system defined alias for private/unused networks.

      How do i get to see everything that's listed in the alias?

      If i use the alias in a rule, then hover over the alias i get to see whats in there but that's a bit inefficient. Is there a way to see whats in a large alias before usage?

        Hmm, I see what you mean. It doesn't fit on the page there.

        You can see the generated table in the ruleset:

        [2.8.0-BETA][admin@8860.stevew.lan]/root: grep _reserved4_ /tmp/rules.debug
        table <_reserved4_> {   0.0.0.0/8  10.0.0.0/8  100.64.0.0/10  127.0.0.0/8  169.254.0.0/16  172.16.0.0/12  192.0.0.0/24  192.0.2.0/24  192.88.99.0/24  192.168.0.0/16  198.18.0.0/15  198.51.100.0/24  203.0.113.0/24  224.0.0.0/4  240.0.0.0/4  255.255.255.255/32 } 
        _reserved4_ = "<_reserved4_>"

          @stephenw10 while still in beta, is it possible to get a GUI fix? Maybe have it roll over to another line?
          I’d imagine this is a problem for any large alias list but this one specifically you can’t double click in to to view where as user created ones you can

            Yes. Open a bug report / feature request. I'm sure it can be done relatively easily.

                In my mind instead of expanding the view, have the user double-click into it like other alias but the difference is that all the entries are grayed out - cant be modified. At least that makes it consistent with how you view other aliases in the system
                If you pursue this option i would also get rid of the 'Save' and 'Add Host' options as you cant do that if its not modifiable.

                  FWIW the aliases can also be listed in the GUI at Diagnostics > Tables.

                    @marcosm I thought so too but not the system generated ones. Not coming up for me at least

                      @michmoor It only lists what's currently loaded (i.e. used in a rule).

                        @marcosm right but the issue is I want to know what’s in the alias BEFORE I use it in the rule. Preferably via the GUI.

                            Not forgotten, the bug is open. It's just not highest priority compared to kernel panics! 😉
