Inter-zone forwarding
This section controls the traffic flow between zones. Selecting a source or destination
zone generates a forwarding rule. Only one direction is covered by any forwarding rule.
Hence for bidirectional traffic flow between two zones then two rules are required, with
source and destination alternated.

Firewall port forwards
Port forwards are also known as redirects. This section creates the redirects using DNAT
(Destination Network Address Translation) with Netfilter. The redirects are from the
firewall zone labelled as wan to the firewall zone labelled as lan. These zones can refer to
multiple external and internal interfaces as defined in the Firewall Zone settings.
To edit an existing port forward select edit.
To add a new port forward select add.
