====== Firewall Rules ======
The Firewall Rules status page shows the firewall rules currently in use.

Rules are parsed one by one until a matching rule is found. If a matching rule is found further rules are not matched. If no matching rule is found packet is denied.

Packets coming from the Internet are first matched against the **Incoming super** ruleset of the interface that is **used as:outside**, then the **incoming user** ruleset. After being routed to one of the **inside** interfaces the packet is then matched against that interface's **outgoing user** ruleset and finally the **outgoing super** ruleset.
