Figure 70: Firewall Basic Settings
Flush Connection Reload:
When this option is enabled, and a firewall configuration change is made, existing connections
that had been permitted by the previous firewall rules will be terminated. That way if the new firewall rules can’t permit a
connection that had been previously established, it will be terminated and won’t be able to reconnect. When this option is
disabled, existing connections are allowed to continue until they do timeout, even if the new rules wouldn’t allow these
connections to be established.
