Managing Custom Rules

You can view existing firewall rules on the Firewall management page. All existing firewall rules are given in a list with the following columns:

Status icon defines the type of the rule: means that the rule allows communications, indicates that the rule denies communications, and shows that the rule allows specific communications and prohibits all others.

Name displays the name of the rule;

Description contains the description of the rule as specified during its creation

Order contains buttons used to change the order of rule application.

Note: You can change the order and remove only the custom rules you created! The order of default rules cannot be changed.

To change the order in which the rules are applied:

Click the icons Up or Down in the Order column. This will move the rule relatively to other rules covering the same direction (incoming communications, outgoing communications, or data forwarding).

To remove a custom rule:

  1. Switch to the Edit mode.
  2. Select the checkboxes corresponding to the rules you want to remove and click Remove Selected.

To edit a custom rule:

  1. Switch to the Edit mode.
  2. Click the rule's name in the list of existing rules. Make necessary changes (the options are the same as when creating a new rule).
