Action

This is the specified action for that rule, either Block or Forward. Note

when the rule is matched.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Insert/Append

Type the index number for where you want to put a rule. For example, if

 

 

 

you type “6”, your new rule becomes number 6 and the previous rule 6 (if

 

 

 

there is one) becomes rule 7.

 

 

 

Click Insert to add a new firewall rule before the specified index number.

 

 

 

Click Append to add a new firewall rule after the specified index number.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Move

Type a rule’s index number and the number for where you want to put

 

 

 

that rule. Click Move to move the rule to the number that you typed. The

 

 

 

ordering of your rules is important as they are applied in order of their

 

 

 

numbering.
