Question

Firewall IP added but not saving or not visible

I have added 5 IPs to my firewall, when I add a 6th the firewall page returns a message to let me know it was saved successfully, but the 6th IP is not in the list. Is it really saving? I’ve also added a new rule for the same port and same IP, but it does the same thing only that the field where the destination is supposed to show is empty.

Heya,

What Firewall are you using? What command are you using to list the IPs?

Can you give more info on that for a more precise answer.

Heya, @87c210597c394f9ebe6ed063a4a6c7

Are you referring to the Cloud Firewall? You can use the firewalls api endpoint to list all the firewall rules and check if the 6th IP has been added successfully.

Hope that this helps!
