      I created a ports alias called SafePorts.  When i try to add a firewall rule for this alias, I get a warning: SafePorts in not a valid destination IP address or alias. I tested different names for the port alias, same issue. I can however create and use a host alias in a firewall rule. Anyone else having similar issues?

        Are you sure you're trying to use the alias in the ports section and not the IP section?
