Description

On the "Firewall: Aliases: Edit" page additional input fields are shown / enabled although they are unused / misleading.

  • The Host(s) alias does not require the CIDR field.
  • The Port(s) alias does not require the CIDR field.
  • The URL alias does not require the CIDR and description (not used in the code) fields.
  • The URL table alias does not require description (not used in the code) field.

Also for the URL table alias the CIDR field is used to determine the update frequency and is in days which could be made clearer, as it currently ranges from 1-128 (due to CIDR) with a default value of 128 instead of the targeted 7 days (empty CIDR field, which cannot be selected currently).

Additionally there are various '$dont_update = true;' scattered through the code that are never used.
