Since external alias types won't be touched by OPNsense, you can use :code:`pfctl` directly in scripts to manage

Internal aliases are prefixed with :code:`__` so they are easy to identify and can't overlap with any user defined ones.
These aliases help you to determine what the content is for some internal concepts such as "LAN network". Using
the :menuselection:`Firewall->Diagnostics->Aliases` menu item you can inspect their contents at any time.
