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.
