So I'm getting into the MSP interface. It appears to be quite basic. Some functionality I'm going to suggest:

1. The ios app has the ability to see how many times a block rule has been triggered. This is useful information as it allows us to see what block rules are doing something useful and which ones are just clutter in our rules list. This information is missing in MSP and would be really helpful.
2. I see there is a stub for Mesh network. It doesn't seem to be working (finds no boxes). I'm hoping this gets developed. But beyond that, not everything is mesh. So just an ability to set up VPN from MSP would be great. Sometimes you want a remote PC to access the local network via VPN, but there is no way to set this up with MSP.
3. There is also no way to configure network ports, DHCP, DNS, Routes, Smart queue, NAT, port forwarding, etc. All of these are useful for true remote management.

Thanks. I know some of these are in the works; I have forwarded them to our product manager.

As of (2), the mesh requires 1.976 version of the box, which is likely to be in beta soon (May/8/2023 week)

Additional item:

4. Wildcard domains are not working in block rules. I used to be able to create a block rule for a wildcard domain like *.zip, *.ru, etc. I am no longer able to do that either in MSP or through the App. That is useful functionality. Interestingly, existing wildcard domain block rules are continuing to work. I am just not able to add additional ones.

Hi Lee,

I was able to replicate the problem in MSP but I am not able to reproduce it in the App. I have opened a bug on that.

I can create a rule blocking, "ru" in both iOS and Android. What version of the app and what platform are you having trouble with?
