Advanced filtering is designed to allow comprehensive control over the Fire-
wall's behavior. You can define specific input and output rules, control the order
of logically similar sets of rules and make a distinction between rules that apply
to WAN and LAN devices.
To view Router's advanced filtering options, click 'Advanced Filtering' under the
'Firewall' tab in the 'Services' screen. The 'Advanced Filtering' screen will ap-
pear.
This screen is divided into two identical sections, one for 'Input Rule Sets' and
the other for 'Output Rule Sets', which are for configuring inbound and outbound
traffic, respectively. Each section is comprised of subsets, which can be
grouped into three main subjects:
 Initial rules - rules defined here will be applied first, on all gateway devices.
 Network devices rules - rules can be defined per each gateway device.
 Final rules - rules defined here will be applied last, on all gateway devices.
The order of the rules' appearance represents both the order in which they were
defined and the sequence by which they will be applied. You may change this
order after your rules are already defined (without having to delete and then re-
add them), by using the Move Up and Move Down action icons.
