- Subject changed from max_input_vars limit reached to max_input_vars limit reached with aliases having >1000 members
- Status changed from New to Confirmed
- Affected Version set to All
for aliases that big you're best off using URL Table aliases instead
Updated by Steve Wheeler almost 9 years ago
URL tables are not an option in some cases such as an outbound NAT pool where you have to use a Host Alias. If you need a large pool it becomes impossible to edit it once created.

I found the solution for this :
you need to edit the /etc/rc.php_ini_setup file and add the following entry on it :
max_input_vars=9999
Then reboot the pfsense and you will no longer get this error

- Category set to Rules / NAT

This was bumped to 5000 in https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/e56374a84399026855886ce8f4d2b2ec4ab224b6
That's a reasonable maximum. Any use that requires > 5000 likely isn't a good idea from a browser usability and performance standpoint.
