WARNING

Introduction
Advanced filtering is designed to allow comprehensive control over the firewall's
behavior. Specific input and output rules can be defined, the order of logically
similar sets of rules controlled, and distinctions made between rules that apply to
the Internet and rules that apply to local network devices.
Rule sets

security and block harmful attacks. The pre-populated rules displayed here are
