Operation modes and rule configuration
Subject to error and alteration
Different input forms cannot be combined. This means, for
example, „8000, 10-1000“ is an invalid inpu
Protocol
Specifies whether the rule applies to TCP or UDP.
The TCP option FTP must be activated when the rule for
FTP connections is formulated. Parallel TCP connections
negotiated during the protocol process are automatically
allowed and blocked.
UDP is a connectionless protocol which, however, often
works on a request-reply principle (e.g. DNS). In these
cases the option
Allow response in reverse direction must
be activated. The Microwall will automatically accept an
incoming reply datagram within a timeout.
Actions
Activate rule activates the rule immediately after pressing
the Save button. If the option is not set, the rule is created
but not applied when you click Save . Data traffic according
to the rule is not possible. The rule can also be activated
later in the rule overview.
Create log entry creates an entry in the log file of the
Microwall for each connection establishment according to
the rule.
Accept connection allows the data traffic defined by the
rule.
