- 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 10 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.
