Commonly used interfaces are:
eth0
eth1
pppX
IPSecX
The firewall rules deny all packets arriving from the WAN port by default. There are a few
ports open to deal with traffic such as DHCP, VPN services and similar. Any traffic that
does not match the exceptions however is dropped.
There are also some specific rules to detect various attacks (smurf, teardrop, etc.).
When outbound traffic (from LAN to WAN) is blocked by custom rules configured in the
GUI, the resultant dropped packets are also logged.
The <prefix> for all these rules is varied according to their type.
Currently used prefixes for traffic arriving:
Default Deny
Invalid
Smurf
Spoof
SynFlood
Custom
