Hi
When I add an IP in Firewall: Diagnostics: Aliases it appears in the list for 30 seconds and disappears.
What should I do so that the added IP address remains on the list permanently ?
gonzo
I am not sure, if I understand your question correctly, but you can create aliases in "Firewall" > "Aliases". When you do it there, they should stick.
The IP address disappears, because the aliases tables are recreated periodically from what has been configured for an alias.
Yes, I have an alias created, but it fetches data every 6 hours. And I want to add or remove one address quickly.
I don't think Firewall > Diagnostics > Aliases is made for this purpose. As I see it its mainly functionality is to see stats of the defined Alias groups made in Firewall > Aliases.
Also adding an object in Firewall > Aliases is already a quick thing. Thats why it was created in first place so you dont need to constantly redo your rules.

Ok, so tell me how to quickly remove an IP address that was mistakenly included in the list of blocked IP addresses when the list is refreshed every 12 hours ?
I have to wait 12 hours ?
1. Create an IP alias with a NOT ("!") setting, e.g. "!1.2.3.4".
2. Create an alias that combines your IP list and the not-IP-alias
3. Use the new combined alias.
4. Done.
