23.1 Legacy Series / 23.1.9 Alias type Hosts after creation is empty or incomplete
« on: June 21, 2023, 02:07:15 am »
We need to allow direct access bypassing our proxy, so, I created an Alias:
Alias name: exch_online_hosts
Type: Host(s)
Content: autodiscover.companyXYZ.co.nz outlook.office365.com outlook.office.com
Across a number of OPNsense firewalls
On those installations that made the alias with 0 or 8 entries, I manually ran the CLI command:
It returned Status "ok"
Alias now has 45 loaded entries!
Alias Host(s) type appears to have trouble with a Host alias that resolves to multiple additional names and then walking down through these and resolving those too, but, manually updating the tables from the CLI seems to work.

Across a number of OPNsense firewalls
- some made the alias with 0 loaded IP addresses
- some made the alias with 8 loaded IP addresses
- most made the alias with 16 loaded IP addresses
- others made the alias with 28 loaded IP addresses
On those installations that made the alias with 0 or 8 entries, I manually ran the CLI command:
Code: [Select]
/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/filter/update_tables.py
It returned Status "ok"
Alias now has 45 loaded entries!
