Automatic aliases

[pasha-19]

Is anyone else interested in what is defined as a bogon in the IPv4 and IPv6 aliases that cannot be viewed?  I am only suggesting a READ ONLY view of the contents of the aliases.

Would anyone else be interested in automatic aliases like __lan_address or __opt?_address (that contain the router's interface address) like the __lan_network and __ opt?_network automatic aliases that already exist and contain I believe the interface network reference?  Both the proposed ..._address and existing ..._network would parallel the {interface} address and {interface} net options available in firewall rules already.  As an alias they could be used in other aliases unlike the firewall options.  It would not be unreasonable to believe they could actually be dual references to the same content in terms of the automatic alias ..._network and firewall reference {interface} net and the proposed automatic alias ..._address and the firewall reference {interface} address

Isn't what you look for in Firewall > Diagnostics > Aliases ?

That is where I was looking but bogons cannot be edited there which IS NOT a problem.  What is the problem, as I see it, is since it cannot be edited it also cannot be viewed to learn the actual contents.

AFAIK OPNsense uses bogon list from Team Cymru and getting updated every week(or month?).
You can peruse the list straight from team cymru website: https://www.team-cymru.com/bogon-reference-http

Just navigate to Firewall > Diagnostics > Aliases ...

The website reference is a great help.  It confirms it is more complicated than I first thought.  I was close working off of these https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xhtml.

But in both cases on the screen image attached I see no way to view the contents of the alias?  Is there maybe a debug switch or something the two of you have enabled that may allow what I cannot see or figure out? I attached an image of the screen I am seeing.
