URL Table Alias Questions

Hi  :)

When creating a URL table alias in opnsense, is it possible to have multiple feeds under one alias?  It looks like I can enter multiple URLs but is the alias backend able to process multiple feeds and download/consolidate them under one alias?

Also, is it possible to nest multiple URL table aliases ?  For example, if I create three separate URL table aliases with different feeds (i.e. MalwareList1, MalwareList2, MalwareList3), can I create a fourth alias and add the three malware aliases to it? 

I'm trying to avoid having to create a firewall rule for each feed.  That way, if I use ten feeds, I don't have ten separate firewall rules. 

Thanks

Hey,

both is possible. :)

You can create an URL alias with more than one URL and you can also create an alias with nested URL aliases.
You can easily check the number of entries in an alias under Firewall -> Diagnostics -> pfTables. Select the alias in the top and check the number of entries in the lower right corner. An nested alias should contain the number of entries of URL_Alias1, URL_Alias2,  URL_Alias3...
