+pfSense firewall functions support traditional firewall, NAT, mark traffic flow,  traffic shaping, scheduling based on time and even controlling based on IP reputation.
+
+== Aliases ==
+Here we can create recognizable names/ placeholders to resources like IP addresses, Port numbers. This is useful in creating multiple firewall rules against one resource as if you need to change the resource it is just a single location that we need to modify.
+
+The name of an alias can be entered instead of the host, network or port where indicated. The alias will be resolved according to the list defined.
+If an alias cannot be resolved (e.g. because it was deleted), the corresponding element (e.g. filter/NAT/shaper rule) will be considered invalid and skipped.
+
+**Create IP Alias**
+
+Go to Firewall > Aliases and click *+ Add*
+
