      After upgrading from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4, all of my firewalls that have Alias URLs for hosts AND ports, produce the following error in the log:

      php-fpm[74094]: /rc.filter_configure_sync: New alert found: There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:59: syntax error - The line in question reads [59]: rdr on igb1 proto tcp from $AliasForHosts to 1.2.3.4 port $AliasForPorts -> 192.168.1.1

      Can anyone recommend a fix?

        What do you have in the aliases AliasForHosts and AliasForPorts?
        Do they show up looking reasonable in /tmp/rules.debug? Or empty?
        In particular, any host names that are numbers?
        There was a fix for if you had a host alias that contained just numbers (e.g. host name 123). And I am guessing there is some interesting combination of names and/or ports or… in you configuration.

          AliasForHosts is a URL for a list of IP addresses in CIDR notation. i.e.:
          1.2.3.4/32
          5.6.7.8/32

          AliasForPorts is a URL for a list of ports:
          80
          443

          Both files have # for comments that describe entries.

          The contents of /tmp/rules.debug has this:
          table <aliasforhosts>{  1.2.3.4/32  5.6.7.8/32 }
          AliasForHosts = "<aliasforhosts>"
          AliasForPorts = "{  }"

          Please let me know if you need anything else.

          Thank you.</aliasforhosts></aliasforhosts>

            The "fix" in /etc/inc/filter.inc was not considering URL Port alias type.
            Does this make it happy?

              I applied the patch via the "System Patches" package, but the result is the same. Did this patch work for you?

                I don't have any URL Ports aliases. I was just checking the code and it seemed that the url_ports case had been missed. I will have to put a file of ports somewhere, make a URL Ports alias, reproduce the issue and really fix it :)

                  I made a dumb typo url_port should be url_ports
