Select Overlapping

As a connection request can match several conditions, the rules' succession within a rule set is very

 

important. If incorrectly ordered, rules might interfere with one another. The function Select Overlapping is

 

meant to help avoiding configuration mistakes. When applied to a selected rule, all rules possibly interfering

 

with it are highlighted. In the majority of cases, the overlap is a harmless outcome of the use of very openly

 

defined objects such as InterNet.
