So I noticed an error when disabling/enabling the alias: Error loading alias [us_canada]: Invalid argument. {current_size: 0, new_size: 537865}

I removed Canada from my alias, save/enable.  Then I added Canada, save/enable. No error.  The diagnostics for the alias populates now, and my testing all works again.

Weird - wonder what caused it originally. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions!

My alias is just using GeoIP with US and Canada selected, and in GeoIP settings it's using a maxmind URL I setup a while back.  Shows it has ranges and has been recently updated.

Under Diagnostics: Aliases - the alias is in the drop-down but nothing is listed when selected.  Granted, I never looked at this section while the rule had been working.


Did another test with the existing rule - while inverted source it's blocking everything I test with, and when I untick invert source on the same rule, nothing is blocked. 

This morning I updated to 25.7.4 and everything seemed fine, until later I noticed my phone's wireguard connection home wasn't working.

I checked the logs and saw that it was being blocked by my GeoIP firewall rule. Disable the rule and can connect again.

Enabled the rule again, tested a few other connection attempts and all were blocked.  I have a basic WAN rule to block incoming from ! US and Canada, and it's been working fine for a pretty long time.  I tested more with a VPN and the rule is blocking everything it seems, regardless of country.

Another fix I tried, was to create a non-inverted source rule, with everything other than US/CA selected.  This rule blocked nothing I tested with.

I'm tempted to revert the update but I'm curious for any other ideas before I do.
