Note:
•
The order of the rules is important as they are applied in the same order that they are
displayed.
•
An IP of 0.0.0.0 is invalid. The word
any
or 0.0.0.0/0 can be used wherever an IP or network
address is required.
•
For every forwarding rule WAN->LAN that is created, the firewall adds another rule where
the originating network is the other LAN port instead of the WAN.
