Description

Upon boot pfSense 2.2 takes 7 -10 minutes to load pfSense at the [Loading Firewall] line with 8 <Aliases>_<URLs> Type <URL table (IPs)> consisting of approx 129,000 URLs total over all 8 aliases in the following format. Files are clean. Using BBcan177's script from the https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=78062.0

217.195.25.241
218.75.155.41
218.146.254.33
220.181.150.161
222.186.19.226

There is very little processor, disk or network activity during this time. Can not find anything in the logs that show what it's doing.

I also notice that alias's (URL Table - IPs) that were defined before shutdown are showing empty tables after reboot. 2.14 does not exhibit this behavior. All of the alias (URL Table - IPs) definitions are there, but they are empty.

Previously when an alias was created, clicking "Save" would load the Alias, and you could see the Tables if you hovered over the rules that are defined with an "alias", or in Diagnostics:Table. With 2.2, "Save" does not reload the previously defined aliases.

The only way to get the Aliases to show the IPs, is with a "pfctl" command:

/sbin/pfctl -t <Table Name> -T replace -f /PATH/TO/<Table Name>

However, if you edit the Alias another time, and click "Save", it will clear the table again. Executing the pfctl command above will allow reloading the alias table.
