      I am hoping I that someone has a good method to resolve this, specifically those who used to work on Watchguard Firewall devices.

      I am looking for an alias, or something I could use to create an alias, for allowing traffic destined to leave out of the WAN interface without having to create an ANY rule at the end of my LAN network rule sets.

      What I am looking for is a replacement for the Any-External built-in rule that Watchguard has.

      Any Ideas?

        I'm not following what you are trying to do.  What is your goal here?  To lock down LAN?

          Pretty easy if you ask me… create alias with rfc1918, then create a allow rule for not rfc1918 alias..

            I suspected that is what he wanted and had the exact same solution, but I wanted clarification.

              This is what I was looking for.  It seems obvious now, but it never crossed my mind. Thanks.
